1. Encryption – WEP Enabling WEP can protect your data from eavesdroppers. If you do not need this feature, select “None” to skip the following setting. 11N Broadband Router supports both 64-bit and 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”. Use 802.1x Authentication Enable 802.
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.

Chapter 9 Q & A 9.1 1. 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.
9.3 1. IP Address Q: What is the default IP address of the router for LAN port? A: The default IP address is 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 2. Q: I don't know my WAN IP. A: There are two ways to know. Way 1: Check with your Internet Service Provider. Way 2: Check the setting screen of 11N Broadband router. Click on Status & Log item to select Network Configuration on the Main Menu. WAN IP is shown on the WAN interface. 3.
A: Possible Solution 1: Make sure that your Ethernet connect properly and securely. Make sure that you've plugged in the power cord. Possible Solution 2: Make sure that your PC is using an IP address within the range of 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254. Make sure that the address of the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. If necessary, the Default Gateway data should be at 192.168.1.1. To verify these settings, perform the following steps: Windows 95, 98, or My Users: 1.
6. Click on OK button. 3. Q: Web page hangs, corrupt downloads, or nothing but junk characters is being displayed on the screen. What do I need to do? A: Force your NIC to 10Mbps or half duplex mode, and turn off the "Auto-negotiate" feature of your NIC as a temporary measure. (Please look at the Network Control Panel, in your Ethernet Adapter's Advanced Properties tab.) 4. Q: Why can't I connect to the Web Configuration? A: you can remove the proxy server settings in your web browser. 9.5 1.
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. 5.
9.6 1. 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.
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.
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: The Router will support to 253 IP addresses with NAT mode. 5. Q: Is the Router cross-platform compatible? A: Any platform that supports Ethernet and TCP/IP is compatible with the Router. 9.8 1. 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.
