This chapter provides an Overview of the ViewSonic WR100
Wireless Router, Package Contents, and Safety Notice.
Overview
Congratulations on purchasing the ViewSonic Wireless Router!
Freedom of a wireless network
• Create a wireless network for your home or office
Create a local area network (LAN) with the WR100 Wireless
Router and share a single high-speed broadband connection,
files, printers and other peripherals among all your computers.
• Robust security keeps your data secure
Network Address Translation (NAT) and Stateful Packet
Inspection (SPI) firewall ensures your networked data is safe
from Internet intruders. Wireless security includes 64-bit/128-bit
Wired Equivalency Privacy (WEP), 256-bit Wi-Fi Protected
Access™ (WPA) and Medium Access Controller (MAC) address
filtering.

• Supports 125 High Speed Mode™ *
Transfer data up to 10 times the speed of standard
802.11b wireless networks. Share your files, videos,
music and pictures almost instantly with the 125* high
speed mode within your network.
* The WR100 Wireless Router performs at 125 High Speed
Mode only with wireless adapters that support this protocol, such
as the ViewSonic WPCC100 Wireless PC Card. If your wireless
adapter does not support this protocol, however, the WR100
Wireless Router will still work at standard 802.11g speed.
* When operating at the highest speeds, the WR100 Wireless
Router achieves a throughput of up to 34 Mbps, which is the
equivalent throughput of a system following 802.11g protocol and
operating at a signaling rate of 125 Mbps. This mode requires the
same technology from the client devices such as the ViewSonic
WPCC100 PC Card Adapter.
• Easy set up
User-friendly set up wizard on the Network Companion CD makes
installation a snap.

Starting IP Address: Enter a numerical value for the DHCP server
to start with when issuing IP addresses. Because the wireless
router’s default IP address is 192.168.1.1, the Starting IP Address
must be 192.168.1.2 or greater, but smaller than192.168.5.253.
The default Starting IP Address is 192.168.1.100.
Maximum Number of DHCP Users: Enter the maximum number
of PCs that you want the DHCP server to assign IP addresses to.
The absolute maximum is 253 - possible if 192.168.1.1 is your
starting IP address. The default is 50.
Client Lease Time: The Client Lease Time is the amount of time a
network user will be allowed connection to the wireless router with
their current dynamic IP address.
Enter the amount of time, in minutes, that the user will be "leased"
this dynamic IP address. The default is 0 minutes, which means
one day.
Static DNS 1-3: The Domain Name System (DNS) is how the
Internet translates domain or website names into Internet
addresses or URLs. Your ISP will provide you with at least one
DNS Server IP Address. If you wish to utilize another, enter that IP
Address in one of these fields. You can enter up to three DNS
Server IP Addresses here. The wireless router will utilize these for

Authentication Type:
Auto: Auto is the default authentication algorithm. It will change its
authentication type automatically to fulfill client’s requirement.
Open System: Open System authentication is not required to be
successful while a client may decline to authenticate with any
particular other client.
Shared Key: Shared Key is only available if the WEP option is
implemented. Shared Key authentication supports authentication of
clients as either a member of those who know a shared secret key
or a member of those who do not. IEEE 802.11 Shared Key
authentication accomplishes this without the need to transmit the
secret key in clear. Requiring the use of the WEP privacy
mechanism.
Transmission Rate: The rate of data transmission should be set
depending on the speed of your wireless network. You can select
from a range of transmission speeds, or you can select AUTO to
have the wireless router automatically use the fastest possible data
rate and enable the Auto-Fallback feature. Auto-Fallback will
negotiate the best possible connection speed between the wireless
router and a wireless client. The default setting is AUTO.
DTIM Interval: This value indicates the interval of the Delivery
Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown
field informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast
and multicast messages. When the Access Point has buffered
broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends

the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Access Point Clients
hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and
multicast messages.
Beacon Interval: The Beacon Interval value indicates the
frequency interval of the beacon. Enter a value between 20 and
1000. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the wireless router to
synchronize the wireless network. The default value is 100.
RTS Threshold: This value should remain at its default setting of
2346. Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor
modifications are recommended. If a network packet is smaller
than the preset RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will
not be enabled. The wireless router sends Request to Send (RTS)
frames to a particular receiving station and negotiates the sending
of a data frame. After receiving an RTS, the wireless station
responds with a Clear to Send (CTS) frame to acknowledge the
right to begin transmission.
Fragmentation Threshold: This value specifies the maximum size
for a packet before data is fragmented into multiple packets. It
should remain at its default setting of 2346. If you experience a
high packet error rate, you may slightly increase the Fragmentation
Threshold. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result
in poor network performance. Only minor modifications of this
value are recommended.
AP Mode or Wireless Bridge Mode: wireless router can operate
in two modes. When the AP Mode is selected, the device operates

Troubleshooting
1 If you are using a cable or DSL modem and are
experiencing problems connecting to the Internet, do
the following:
• Power off your cable or DSL modem, PC, and the router.
• Power on your modem and wait a few minutes until the
modem has established a connection with your ISP.
• Power on the router.
• Power on your PC and attempt to connect to the Internet.
For most users, the router’s default values should be
satisfactory. Some users may need to enter additional
information in order to connect to the Internet through
their ISP or broadband (cable or DSL) carrier. For
example, some cable providers require a specific MAC
address for connection to the Internet. To learn more
about this, click the Advanced tab and then the MAC
Address Clone tab.
