UNPACKING AND SETUP This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the 108Mbps 11g Wireless Router. Unpacking Open the box of the WLAN Router and carefully unpack it. The box should contain the following items: One 108Mbps 11g Wireless Router One dipole antenna One external power adapter One CD-ROM with this User’s Guide If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for replacement.
HARDWARE INSTALLATION Front Panel The figure below shows the front panel of the 108Mbps 11g Wireless Router. Front Panel SYSTEM This indicator blinking green means the WLAN Router is working successfully. Otherwise, this indicator always on or off means the function of the WLAN Router has failed. WAN (Link/ACT) The indicators light green when the WAN port is connected to a xDSL/Cable modem successfully.
Rear Panel The figure below shows the rear panel of the 108Mbps 11g Wireless Router. Rear Panel Antenna There is one 2dBi gain antenna on the rear panel for wireless connection. LAN (1-4) Four RJ-45 10/100Mbps Auto-MDIX ports for connecting to either 10Mbps or 100Mbps Ethernet connections. WAN In the four port broadband Router, there is an RJ-45 10/100Mbps Auto-MDIX port for the WAN that connects to the xDSL/Cable modem for Internet connectivity.
Hardware connections Connecting the WLAN Router 1. Plug in one end of the network cable to the WAN port of the WLAN Router. 2.
