4b. If I have legacy 802.11b or g clients on the wireless network at the same time, will the
speed of my network be affected by the slower clients?
Each device will connect to this router at its own fastest rate. Your B devices will connect at up
to 11Mbps, G devices up to 54Mbps, and your 2.4 Ghz N devices up to 150Mbps.
5b. My VoIP device, gaming device, or other multimedia device is not working properly or
drops from the network occasionally. How do I set the device as the DMZ Host to fix this?
First you must set up a fixed IP address for the device:
Login to the router (Default 192.168.0.1 – admin admin) > Click “DHCP Server > DHCP
List&Binding” > Find your Device in the table at the bottom of the screen and copy the IP
address and MAC address into the area above. > Click Add > Check the box for “IP MAC Bind”
> Click Apply.
Then set that IP address as the DMZ Host:
Click Virtual Server>DMZ Settings > Type the IP Address that you set for the Device into the
Host IP area > Check Enable > Click Apply
Then Reboot the Router:
Click System Tools > Reboot > Reboot the Router
6b. Why does my wireless connection sometimes “drop”?
There are several factors that can contribute to dropped connections including interference,
data transmission volume, etc. Dropped connections can be a problem with any wireless
network regardless of the equipment used. Here are some things that might help.
Changing Channels:
Login to the Router > WLAN Settings > Change the “Channel” to any number from 1 to 11
(different from what you are using) > Click Apply.
You should be using a channel that is at least 2 away from the highest volume channel in both
directions. This is usually accomplished through trial and error if you don’t have a tool to view
channels used in the area.
