The "Reset" button is located on the bottom of the modem router and should

be used in rare cases when the Router may function improperly. Resetting

the Router will restore the Router’s normal operation while maintaining the

programmed settings.

You can also restore the factory default settings by using the Reset button.

Positioning your Router

Your wireless connection will be stronger the closer your computer is to your

Router.Typicalindooroperatingrangeforyourwirelessdevicesisbetween

30m and 60m. In the same way, your wireless connection and performance

will degrade somewhat as the distance between your Router and connected

devicesincreases.Thismayormaynotbenoticeabletoyou.Asyoumove

farther from your Router, connection speed may decrease. Factors that can

weakensignalssimplybygettinginthewayofyournetwork’sradiowaves

aremetalappliances,orobstructions,andwalls.Ifyouhaveconcernsabout

your network’s performance that might be related to range or obstruction

factors,trymovingthecomputertoapositionbetween1.5mand3.0mfrom

the Router, in order to see if distance is the problem.

YouwillneedtheADSLsettingsinformationasprovidedbyyourISP.

Alternatively,tosetuptheconnectionmanually,proceedtothenextsection.

Note:IfyouhaveaMacintoshorLinuxsystem,youwillneedtousethe

manual installation method.

Manual Installation

3. Connect your ADSL Line

ConnectionfortheRoutertotheADSLlinevariesbycountryandregion.

Typicallyitinvolvesamicrolteroramicrolterwithbuilt-insplitterto

allowsimultaneoususeofADSLserviceandtelephoneserviceonthesame

telephone line. Please read the following steps carefully and select the

appropriate method.

•IfyourtelephoneserviceandADSLserviceareonthesametelephone

line,ADSLmicroltersareneededforeachtelephoneanddevice,suchas

answeringmachine,faxmachine,andcallerIDdisplay.Additionalsplitters

may be used to separate telephone lines for telephone and Router.

Note: Do not connect the ADSL microlter between the wall jack and the

Router—thiswillpreventADSLservicefromreachingthemodem.

•IfyourtelephoneserviceandADSLserviceareonthesametelephone

line and you are using an ADSL microlter with built-in splitter, connect the

splittertothetelephonewalljackprovidingADSLservice.Then,connectthe

'Phone'.

•Note:AnRJ11telephonecordissupplied.WheninsertinganRJ11plug,be

sure the tab on the plug clicks into position correctly.

•IfyouhaveadedicatedADSLservicetelephonelinewithanRJ11walljack,

simply connect a telephone cord from the wall jack to the DSL port on the

back of your Router.

•IfyouhaveanRJ45walljackforyourADSLservice,connectanRJ45-to-RJ11

4. Powering Up your Router

•ConnectthesuppliedpowercordtotheRouterpower-input.

•Afterconnectingthepowercordandthepowersourceisturnedon,the

Router’s power icon on the front panel should be on. It might take a few

minutes for the Router to fully start up.

•Turnonyourcomputer.Afteryourcomputerbootsup,theLANstatusLED

on the front of the Router will be on for each port to which a wired computer

isconnected.Theselightsshowyoutheconnectionandactivitystatus.Now

you are ready to congure the Router for ADSL connection.

In order for your computer to properly communicate with your Router, you

willneedtochangeyourcomputer’s'TCP/IPEthernet'settingsto'Obtainan

IPaddressautomatically/UsingDHCP'.Thisisnormallythedefaultsetting

in most home computers. Consult your operating system’s Help les for

informationonchangingthissetting,ifrequired.

Accessing the User Interface

1. You can access the web-based management user interface of the Router

using the Internet browser on a computer connected to the Router. Type

“http://192.168.11.1” in your browser’s address bar. Then press the “Enter”

key.

Note: It is strongly recommended that you use a computer physically

connectedtotheRouterwithanRJ45cableforinitialsetup.Usingawirelessly

connected computer for initial setup is not recommended.

2. The following screen will appear in your browser to prompt you to log in.

The default User Name is “root” and the default Password is blank. Click on

the “OK” button to log in.

Note: It is strongly recommended that you set a password for increased

security.

The Internet Setup section is for setting your broadband gateway to work

correctlywithyourISP’sequipment.ThisincludesyourISP’sInternetservers

andtheAsynchronousTransferMode(ATM)networkbetweenthegateway

andtheservers.

Note: Information on what settings to use in this section must be obtained

from your ISP.

The “Internet/LAN” tab is where you will set up your Router to connect to your

InternetServiceProvider.

issimilartoPPPoE,butismostlyimplementedintheUK.

Setting your Connection Type to RFC 1483 Bridged/Routed

This connection method bridges your network and your ISP’s network

together. The Router will obtain an IP address automatically from your ISP’s

DHCPserver.

Setting your Connection Type to Bridge Mode Only (Disable Internet Sharing)

In this mode, the Router simply acts as a bridge passing packets across the

DSLport.Itrequiresadditionalsoftwaretobeinstalledonyourcomputersin

order to access the Internet.

DDNS

If your Modem Router’s Internet IP address is assigned dynamically and

youwishtohostaWebsiteorotherInternetservice,youcansignupwith

DynDNS.orgorTZO.comforDynamicDNS(DDNS)service.

Wireless Cong

ForinformationonconguringaconnectionwithWPSorAOSS,pleaserefer

to the earlier sections of the manual which describe how to use these meth-

ods to establish a wireless connection.

Basic

The “Basic” tab lets you make changes to the wireless network settings - wire-

lessnetworkname(SSID),radio,operatingchannelandsecuritylevel.

Wireless Radio

Select Disable to turn o wireless networking, or select the type of wireless

networkyouaresettingup:Mixed(with11b,11gandDraft11nclients),

BG-Mixed(withonly11band11gclients),orsolely11b,11gorDraft11n

clients. Using the correct setting here ensures that the network will work as

eciently as possible.

Wireless Channel

Your Router is congured to operate on the proper channels for the country

you reside in. If there are other wireless networks operating in your area,

your network should be set to operate on a channel that is dierent than the

other wireless networks. For best performance, use a channel that is at least

vechannelsawayfromtheotherwirelessnetworks.Forinstance,ifanother

network is operating on channel 11, then set your network to channel 6 or

below.

150Mbps Mode Band Width

Youcanselectwhethertouse20MHzor40MHzmodesforwirelesscommu-

nication.The20-MHzchannelbandwidthlessensthechanceofinterference

withotherwirelessnetworks.However,thewide40-MHzchannelbandwidth

increases throughput up to 150Mbps.

Thedefaultsettingis20MHz.

Extension Channel

When40MHzhasbeenselectedunderBandWidth,twochannelsareused-a

ControlChannelandanExtensionChannel.

The Control Channel is specied by the “Wireless Channel” setting , and the

ExtensionChannelisspeciedbythe“Extension Channel” setting.

Broadcast SSID

For security purposes, you can choose not to broadcast your network’s SSID

(setto“Allow”bydefault).Doingsowillkeepyournetworknamehiddenfrom

computers that are scanning for the presence of wireless networks. To turn o

thebroadcastoftheSSID,removethetick.

Security/Encryption

TheWBMR-HP-GNmodemrouterincludesasecurityfeaturewhichallows

eachwirelessclienttoconnectwithadierentlevelofsecurity.Thisfunction

is particularly useful in a situation where a single client can only connect

viaWEP(lowestlevelofsecurity).Becauseclientscanconnectatdierent

is not compromised.

Toidentifyyourwirelessnetwork,anamecalledtheSSID(ServiceSet
