Appendix 1：Glossary
Access Point (AP): Any entity that has station functionality and provides access to the distribution services, via the wireless medium (WM) for associated stations.
Channel: An instance of medium use for the purpose of passing protocol data units (PDUs) that may be used simultaneously, in the same volume of space, with other instances of medium use(on other channels) by other instances of the same physical layer (PHY),with an acceptably low frame error ratio(FER) due to mutual interference.
SSID: Service Set identifier. An SSID is the network name shared by all devices in a wireless network. Your network’s
SSID should be unique to your network and identical for all devices within the network. It is case-sensitive and must not exceed 20 characters (use any of the characters on the keyboard).Make sure this setting is the same for all devices in your wireless network.
WEP: Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is the method for secure wireless data transmission. WEP adds data encryption to every single packet transmitted in the wireless network. The 40bit and 64bit encryption are the same
64
11N Wireless Broadband Router because of out 64 bits, 40 bits are private. Conversely, 104 and 128 bit are the same. WEP uses a common KEY to encode the data. Therefore, all devices on a wireless network must use the same key and same type of encryption. There are 2 methods for entering the KEY; one is to enter a 16-bit HEX digit. Using this method, users must enter a 10-digit number (for 64-bit) or 26-digit number (for
128-bit) in the KEY field. Users must select the same key number for all devices. The other method is to enter a text and let the computer generate the WEP key for you. However, since each product use different method for key generation, it might not work for different products. Therefore, it is NOT recommended using.
WPA/WPA2: A security protocol for wireless networks that builds on the basic foundations of WEP. It secures wireless data transmission by using a key similar to WEP, but the added strength of WPA is that the key changes dynamically.
The changing key makes it much more difficult for a hacker to learn the key and gain access to the network.WPA2 is the second generation of WPA security and provides a stronger encryption mechanism through Advanced Encryption
Standard (AES), which is a requirement for some government users.

Appendix 2: Ask and Question
In this part some questions and problems shown during the
Router’s usage and installation will be given suggesting answers. If your problems are not in the list, please log into our website www.tenda.cn or send an E-mail to [email protected], and we will reply you in the first time.
1、 Can not login to the Web interface of the Router
after you enter the IP address in the address
field？
Step 1: check the Router if it works well. Once the device is powered on for a few seconds, the SYS indicator on the panel will be turned on. If it is not, please contact us.
Step 2: check the network cables if it is good and the corresponding indicator is “Always ON”. Sometimes, the indicator is “Always ON”, but it does not mean it gets through.
Run “Ping” command and check if it can ping the
Router’s LAN IP address 192.168.0.1. If it is OK, please make sure your browser does not access the Internet by proxy server. If the ping fails, you can press the “RESET” button for 7 seconds to restore to default settings. And then repeat the ping operation. If it still does not work, please contact us.
66
11N Wireless Broadband Router
2、Forget the login password and can not enter the
setting page. What can I do?
Press the “RESET” button for 7 seconds to restore the
Router to default settings.
3、 The computer connected with the Router shows IP
address conflict. What can I do?
Check if there are other DHCP servers in the LAN. If there have, disable them. The default IP address of the
Router is 192.168.0.1 and please maker sure the address is not occupied by other devices. If there are two computers with the same IP addresses, please modify one.
4、 I can not use E-mail and access the Internet. What
can I do?
It happens in ADSL connection and Dynamic IP users.
And you need modify the default MTU value (1492).
Please in the “WAN Setting” modify the MTU value with the recommended value as 1450 or 1400.
67
11N Wireless Broadband Router
5 、 How to configure and access the Internet via
Dynamic IP?
In Setup Wizard of the Web utility interface, select
“Dynamic IP” connection type and click “Save” to activate it. As some ISPs bind the user computer’s MAC address, you need to clone the Router’s WAN MAC address to the bind21ing PC’s MAC address. Select “MAC
Address Clone” in “Advanced Setting” to input your computer’s MAC address and click “Apply” to activate it.
6、 How to share my computer’s source with other
users in Internet？
If you want Internet users to access the internal server via the Router such as e-mail server, Web, FTP, you can configure the “Virtual Server” to come true.
Step 1: create your internal server, make sure the LAN users can access these servers and know related service port. For example, Web server’s port is 80; FTP is 21;
SMTP is 25 and POP3 is 110.
Step 2: in the Router’s web click “Virtual Server” and select “Single Port Forwarding”.
Step 3: input the external service port given by the
Router, for example, 80.
Step 4: input the internal Web service port, for example,
80.
68
11N Wireless Broadband Router
Step 5: Input the internal server’s IP address. If your
Web server’s IP address is 192.168.0.10, please input it.
Step 6: select the communication protocol used by your internal host: TCP, UDP, ICMP.
Step 7: click “Apply” to activate the settings.
