128-bit encryption using the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) algorithm. Select the type of
encryption you want to use (64 or 128 bit) and configure one to four WEP Keys. The “1280bit”
method is more secure than the “64-bit”.
802.1x Authentication
Enable 802.1x Authentication so that a wireless node must be authenticated before it
43
can gain access to other LAN resources.
Key Length: For 64bits WEP key, either 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal digitals
leading by 0x can be entered. For 128bits WEP key, either 13 ASCII characters or 26
hexadecimal digits leading by 0x can be entered.
Note: 128 bits WEP is most secure, but has more encryption/decryption overhead. Note that all wireless devices
must support the same WEP encryption bit size and have the same key. Four keys can be entered here, but
only one key can be selected at a time. The keys can be entered in ASCII or Hexadecimal. Select the item
from drop-down list you wish to use.
Encryption Key: At most four keys can be set. A WEP key is either 10 or 26
hexadecimal digits (0~9, a~f, and A~F) based on whether you select 64 bit or 128 bit in
the WEP drop-down list.
2.
Encryption – WPA (WPA, WPA2 & WPA2 Mixed)
The WPA, WPA2 & WPA2 Mixed encrypt each frame transmitted from the radio using the
pre-shared key (PSK) which entered from this panel or a key got dynamically through 802.1x.
WPA Authentication Mode
Enterprise (RADIUS): Please input the port, IP address, and password of
authentication RADIUS Server.

Q&A
Installation
Q: Where is the XDSL Router installed on the network?
A: In a typical environment, the Router is installed between the XDSL line and the LAN.
Plug the XDSL Router into the XDSL line on the wall and Ethernet port on the Hub
(switch or computer).
2.
Q: Why does the throughput seem slow?
A: To achieve maximum throughput, verify that your cable doesn’t exceed 100 meter. If
you have to do so, we advise you to purchase a bridge to place it in the middle of the
route in order to keep the quality of transmitting signal. Out of this condition you
would better test something else.

computers a lot of trouble.
※Notice: Make sure that you always click on the Apply button after configuring
each setting. And in order to let other LAN ports work properly, please reboot
your PC.
3.
Q:
I don’t know how to configure DHCP.
A: DHCP is commonly used in the large local network. It allows you to manage and
distribute IP addresses from 2 to 254 throughout your local network via 11N
Broadband Router. Without DHCP, you would have to configure each computer
separately. It’s very troublesome. Please Open Internet browser > Input
85
192.168.1.1 in the website blank field > Select DHCP Server under the IP Config
Menu. For more information, please refer to 3.3.2 (Router Mode) or 4.3.1 (AP Mode).

5.
Q: My 11n Mobile Server Router cannot connect to the ISP?
A: There are three possible solutions.
1. Check the Cable/XDSL modem is power on.
2. Check the Cable/XDSL link light is on to verify a good physical connection.
3. Check the WAN port LED to verify if the Cable/XDSL modem is connected to the
router:
If your ISP Login method is following, please make sure the username and password
are correct or not.
If your ISP is using dynamic IP addressing (DHCP) then the DHCP protocol does not
have the authentication feature. Some Cable service providers often use the following
to determine user’s identification.
6.
Q: Why is that I can ping to outside hosts, but cannot access Internet websites?
A: Check the DNS server settings on your PC. You should get the DNS servers settings
from your ISP. If your PC is running a DHCP client, remove any DNS IP address
setting. As the router assign the DNS settings to the DHCP-client-enabled PC.
7.
Q: 11N Broadband Router couldn’t save the setting after click on Apply button?
A: 11N Broadband Router will start to run after the setting finished applying, but the

Wireless LAN
Q: Why couldn’t my wireless notebook work on-line after checking?
A: Generally, Wireless networks can sometimes be very complicated to set up,
particularly if you're dealing with encryption and products from different vendors. Any
number of variables can keep your workstations from talking to each other. Let's go
over some of more common ones.
For starters, verify that your router and your workstation are using the same SSID
descriptions. SSID acts as a password when a mobile device tries to connect to the
wireless network. The SSID also differentiates one WLAN from another, so all
access points and all devices attempting to connect to a specific WLAN must use the
same SSID. A workstation will not be permitted to connect to the network unless it
can provide this unique identifier. This is similar to the function of your network's
Workgroup or Domain name.
When you're experiencing conductivity problems, it is always best to keep things
simple. So next you are going to do is that, please disable any WEP encryption you
might have configured.
Successful implementation of encryption also includes the use of a shared key. A
HEX key is the most common, but other formats are also used. This key identifies
the workstation to the router as a trusted member of this network. Different
manufacturers can implement this key technology in ways that might prevent them
from working correctly with another vendor's products. So pay attention to detail is
going to be the key to a successful installation.
Next make sure the router and the NIC are configured to use the same
communications channel. There are normally 11 of them, and the default channel
can also vary from vendor to vendor. You might also want to confirm that the router
has DHCP services enabled and an address pool configured. If not, the NIC won't be
able to pick up an IP address. I have run across a few access points that offer DHCP
services but do not assign all of the needed IP information to the NIC. As a result, I
was able to connect to the network, but could not browse the web. The point is, don't
assume anything. Verify for yourself that all of the required settings are being
received by the workstation.
Finally, you might want to keep the system you're trying to configure in the same
room as the router, at least during the initial configuration, in order to minimize
potential interference from concrete walls or steel beams.

2.
Q: My PC can’t locate the Wireless Access Point.
A: Check the following:
z
Your PC is set to Infrastructure Mode. (Access Points are always in Infrastructure
Mode.)
z
The SSID on your PC and the Wireless Access Point are the same. Remember
that the SSID is case-sensitive. So, for example “Workgroup” does NOT match
“workgroup”.
z
Both your PC and the Wireless Access Point must have the same setting for
WEP. The default setting for the Wireless Router is disabled, so your wireless
station should also have WEP disabled.
z
If WEP is enabled on the Wireless Router, your PC must have WEP enabled,
and the key must match.
z
If the Wireless Router’s Wireless screen is set to Allow LAN access to selected
Wireless Stations only, then each of your Wireless stations must have been
selected, or access will be blocked.
z
To see if radio interference is causing a problem, see if connection is possible
when close to the Wireless Access Point. Remember that the connection range
can be as little as 100 feet in poor environments.
3.
Q: Wireless connection speed is very slow.
A: The wireless system will connect at highest possible speed, depending on the
distance and the environment. To obtain the highest possible connection speed, you
can experiment with following:
z
Access Point location: Try adjusting the location and orientation of the Access
Point.
z
Wireless Channel: If interference is the problem, changing to another channel
may show a marked improvement.
z
Radio Interference: Other devices may be causing interference. You can
experiment by switching other devices off, and see if this helps. Any “noisy”
devices should be shielded or relocated.
z
RF Shielding: Your environment may tend to block transmission between the
wireless stations. This will mean high access speed is only possible when close
to the Access Point.
4.
Q: Some applications do not run properly when using the Wireless Router.
88
A: The Wireless Router processes the data passing through it, so it is not transparent.
Use the Special Application feature to allow the use of Internet applications which do
not function correctly. If this does solve the problem, you can use the DMZ function.
This should work with almost every application, but:
5.
z
It is a security risk, since the firewall is disabled.
z
Only one (1) PC can use this feature.
Q: I can’t connect to the Wireless Router to configure it.
A: Check the following:
z
The Wireless Router is properly installed, LAN connections are OK, and it is
powered ON.
z
Make sure that your PC and the Wireless Router are on the same network
segment.
z
If your PC is set to “Obtain an IP Address automatically” (DHCP client), restart it.
z
If your PC uses a Fixed (Static) IP address, make sure that it is using an IP
Address within the range 192.168.1.129 to 192.168.1.253 and thus compatible
with the Wireless Router’s default IP Address of 192.168.1.254. Also, the
Network Mask should be set to 255.255.255.0 to match the Wireless Router. In
Windows, you can check these settings by using Control Panel ~ Network to
check the Properties for the TCP/IP protocol.
6.
Q: The WinXP wireless interface couldn’t communicate the WEP with 11N
Broadband Router’s wireless interface.
A: The default WEP of WinXP is Authentication Open System - WEP, but the WEP of
11N Broadband Router is only for Shared Key - WEP, it caused both sides couldn’t
communicate. Please select the WEP of WinXP from Authentication Open System to
Pre-shared Key - WEP, and then the WEP wireless interface between WinXP and
11N Broadband Router would be communicated.

Others
Q: Why can’t I receive corrupted FTP downloads?
A: If you are experiencing corrupted files when you download a file with your FTP client,
try using another FTP program.
2.
Q: Why does the router dial out for PPPoE mode very often?
A: Normally some of game, music or anti-virus program will send out packets that
trigger the router to dial out, you can close these programs. Or you can set the idle
time to 0, then control to dial out manually.
3.
Q: What can I do if there is already a DHCP server in LAN?
A: If there are two DHCP servers existing on the same network, it may cause conflict
and generate trouble. In this situation, we suggest to disable DHCP server in router
and configure your PC manually.
