5.5 Configure your PC 1. Wireless connection mode For notebook and any other wireless device, you can use this connection mode if you do not wish to connect using an Ethernet cable. (1) Insure that your WR200 Is turned on. (2) The default network name (SSID) is “your_network”. Using your wireless device’s appropriate connection method, ask it to connect to this access point. An example from a Windows device is shown below.

12

Please make sure that your wireless device is set to the following settings (example from a PC running Windows OS) Click Wireless Network Connections Status-> Properties->Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) ->“Obtain IP address automatically” and “DNS server address automatically”. When connected to the router, you can check the IP address assigned by the DHCP server.

13

Notes: 1. By default, this unit has a unique WPA Key. This

key is found on a label under the router. 2. To browse the internet after connecting, make sure that your SIM (with Internet access enabled) has been properly installed in the SIM slot of the router, or that you have connected to an alternative router via the WAN port. 2. Wired connection mode (1) Connect your PC to the router using the

LAN1~LAN3 ports. Make sure your network settings are correct - your computer must be set to “Obtain IP address automatically” and “DNS server address automatically”.

14

5.6 Login to WEB Management Page 1. Open the web browser and access http://10.0.1.2

The default login user name is admin and the default password is admin

Note: http://10.0.1.2/ is the default LAN IP address. If you modify it at any stage, you will need to enter the routers new IP address here instead.

15

6. Configure your router’s settings 6.1 Quick settings This section shows how to configure the settings that most users need. For more complex configuration see section 6.2 (Advance settings).

• SSID: Click Wireless Settings->Basic The SSID is a unique name for your wireless network. It is must not exceed 32 characters. The default SSID is: your_network. You can change this to a more personal wireless name if you wish.

Note: After any modification, the Wi-Fi connection will automatically disconnect. If you are connecting via Wi-Fi, you will need to reconnect to the new SSID once it appears in your PC’s Wi-Fi AP list.

• Wi-Fi key: Click Wireless Settings->Security Your router is configured by default with a unique Wi-Fi key. Since this key is unique to your router there is no need to change it. You may however wish to change your key to make it easier to remember or to improve

16

your security. If you wish to change the Wi-Fi security type, you can also do so on this page.

Connection Type: Click Internet settings->WAN settings The router is set to access the internet via 3G networks as default connection mode. The predefined APN profile is selected according to your SIM card. Should you require a different setting for some reason, you are able to set up a customized connection .

• Administrator Password: Click Administrator->Management

Administrator Password is used for logging into WEB management page (GUI). It is recommended that you modify your login details for improved security. The default username and password are both “admin”.

17

6.2 Advance settings 1. Internet Settings (1) WAN settings This router supports six WAN connection types: Static (fixed IP), DHCP (Auto configure), PPPoE (ADSL), L2TP, PPTP and 3G.

• Static (fixed IP): When your network provider applies a fixed IP address to you, you can use this connection type. It is also useful when connecting your router to the internet using an ADSL modem that does not have a DHCP server built in.

• DHCP This is useful when connecting to the

internet via the WAN port, through a router that includes a DHCP server.

18

• PPPoE：This mode is useful if you are connecting to the internet via the WAN port using an ADSL router or modem that has Bridged mode enabled.

• L2TP: This mode is useful when you wish to

configure your network as a node on a Virtual Private Network (VPN).

19

• PPTP This mode is useful when you wish to configure your network as a node on a Virtual Private Network (VPN).

• 3G: This mode is used to connect the router

to the Internet using a 3G/WCDMA network. This connection type requires you to insert a SIM card.

20

Account: The default settings for 3G are retrieved from your SIM. If you select this account, the APN, Dial Number, User name, password and Auth need not to be modified unless you specifically require another setting. There settings are normally APN: internet Dial Number: *99# Username /Password are left blank Operation Mode: You can select Automatic or Manual. If you select Automatic, the router will access the Internet automatically at anytime when you power it on. It may take a few minutes for the connection to be established. This can be confirmed by the LED on the Manual Connect key becoming green and beginning to flash. If you select Manual, the internet connection can be established by pressing the Manual Connect key. (2) LAN settings (Local Area Network settings) This page explains about the settings of the LAN ports of your router. IP address & Subnet mask: This is your router’s IP address and the subnet mask for your LAN. LAN 2: Your router can be configured to respond to an alternative IP address using these settings. MAC address: This is your router’s MAC address.

21

DHCP Type: If you select Disable, you will either have to manually configure the IP addresses of connected devices, or use another device to provide DHCP services. If you select Server, your router enables its built-in DHCP Server. It will then assign IP address to clients connecting to the router. The IP addresses are allocated from the pool of available addresses between “Start IP address” and “End IP address”. You can also reserve certain static IP addresses for pre-defined clients using the Statically Assigned fields.

22

(3) DHCP clients list: This table shows the clients which have been assigned IP addresses by the router.

(4) Advanced Routing (Static Routing settings): When the router is connected to more than one network, a static route must be set up between them. The static route is a predetermined path that network information must use to reach a specific host or network. The minimum settings are preconfigured, but you can add routes as needed.

Note: Don't change any of these settings if you do not know exactly what you are doing.

23

(5) QoS (Quality of Service): This page is used to configure Quality of Service (QoS) rules for your router. (6) Link Backup:

Your router can be configured to provide automatic internet connection backup. For instance, if your primary connection to the internet is via an ADSL router that is connected to your routers WAN port, and for some reason ADSL connectivity is lost, this router can be configured to automatically transfer your Internet connection to the 3G/WCDMA connection. Except for the short delay that might be experienced in connecting to the 3G/WCDMA network; the transfer is quite transparent to users. You will first need to configure the settings of both of our chosen connection types (one at a time) in the Internet settings-> WAN section. You will then need to return to this page to configure the failover conditions. Operation mode: In this field you can enable/disable the function, and also select if you want a failed-over link to revert to the primary link as soon as possible, or only once the secondary link fails. Link Priority Setting: You will need to select your two preferred WAN connection options in the drop-down fields. You will then need to assign which is the primary and which is the secondary link. Link Priority Setting: These fields will allow you to select the parameters of when the fail-over will happen. Check Interval Time determines how often the router will check to confirm that the

24

primary link is available. A smaller number of minutes selected will increase the speed at which the router selects the secondary link, but since the check is an active one, it will also increase the amount of Internet data that is used by this process. Check Count is the number of “pings” that are performed each time the check is made. A smaller setting will increases the sensitivity of the fail-over, and may not necessarily be desirable particularly when heavy traffic delays or causes “pings” to not get through. WAN Check Method Define the IP addresses that are checked to determine if the link is up or not. You will need to carefully select an IP address that should always be available to confirm the connection. You could ask your ISP to provide one (which may not count against your data cap if it is “on-network”) or you could use an Internet based service such as the Google DNS server 8.8.8.8 you will need to confirm that your chosen IP responds to a “ping” before using it.

25

2. Wireless settings (1) Basic This page is used to configure the basic Wi-Fi settings.

26

Wi-Fi Enable/Disable: Enable or disable the Wi-Fi access Point. Network Mode: There are 5 modes to select from: 11b/g mixed mode, 11b only mode, 11g only mode, 11b/g/n mixed mode and 11n only mode (2.4G) Note: Don't change the content of this list if you don’t understand what effect your changes will have. Network Name (SSID): This field sets the SSID, or the name by which your WI-Fi AP will be known. Broadcast Network Name (SSID):

Enable: Allows the SSID to be broadcast so that users can detect and attempt to connect to it. Disable: This will prevent the SSID from being broadcast. Users will not be able to see it, but will still be able to connect if they know the correct SSID.

Frequency (Channel): Select the appropriate channel for your network from the list. You can select either a channel number from the list or the auto option. The default channel is channel 6. Note: If you do not understand the implications, please do not change the contents, particularly of the HT Physical Mode section.

27

(2) Advanced Wireless Settings This page is used to configure the advanced settings for WiFi. These settings are best left at the default values unless you fully understand the implications of any changes. (3) Security Settings This page is used to change the encryption settings for your wireless network to prevent unauthorized access. Security Modes: There are many security modes available to you to encrypt your WiFi connection:

• Disable: Your wireless network has no encryption that opens to everyone. (This option is not recommended.)

• OPENWEP: This security mode uses a key to secure your connection.

Default Key: You can select Key1~Key4. WEP Keys You can enter up to 4 different

keys. The key that is used as default will be dependent on your selection under Default Key.

Keys format: a. Hex: enter a key of 10 or 26 characters. b. ASCII: enter a key of 5 or 13 characters.

28

• WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK and WPAPSKWPA2PSK: These three security modes use a pre-shared key to secure and encrypt your connection.

• WPA-PSK uses the WPA method and is used for older Wi-Fi devices.

• WPA2-PSK uses the WPA2 method and is used for newer devices supporting this mode.

• WPAPSKWPA2PSK needs to be used when you are connecting with various devices some of which support WPA2 and some of which only support WPA. This will allow the access point to retain backwards compatibility while not sacrificing security for never devices.

WPA Algorithms: You can select TKIP, AES or TKIPAES. For modes Pass Phrase: input at least 8 characters. Key Renewal Interval: Set key renewal time, from 0 sec. ~3600 sec.

29

(4) WDS You can open WDS function on this page, there are three modes: Lazy mode, bridge mode, and repeater mode. Note: In order to obtain better compatibility, please use the same type of product for connection.

• Repeater mode:

Phy mode: It provides four modes to select from: CCK, OFDM, HTMIX, and GREENFIELD. Encryp Type: It provides three modes to select from: WEP, SKTP, and AES. AP MAC Address: Input the peer router’s MAC address.

30

Steps: 1. Go to Wireless Settings->Basic, on this page, set

the Network Name (SSID) and Frequency (Channel), must be same as the peer router.

31

• Lazy mode

In lazy mode, the router will auto search all nearby routers which use the same SSID, channel, security mode, and phy mode and select the device which has the best signal strength and the most stable wireless link. It will then create a WDS connection with it automatically.

Notes: 1. Please do not use the security mode of: WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPAPSKWPA2PSK, and WPA1WPA2. WDS works best with WEP security mode. 2. Please don’t set all the routers’ WDS mode to repeater mode, at least one router in your WDS network must be set to bridge mode

32

• Bridge Mode

Note: You must disable the DHCP server on your router when enabling Bridge mode.

Steps: 1. Go to Internet settings-> LAN, set DHCP

Type as Disable.

33

2. Go to Wireless Settings->WDS, set the WDS mode as Bridge Mode, also set the phy mode and encrypt Type to the same as the peer router, and input the peer router’s MAC address.
