INTRODUCTION

With the explosive growth of the Internet, accessing information and services at any time, day or night has become a standard requirement for most people. The era of the standalone PC is waning. Networking technology is moving out of the exclusive domain of corporations and into homes with at least two computers. This integrated access device combines Internet gateway functions with wireless LAN and Fast Ethernet switch. Designed for the business and home, it saves you the cost of installing a separate modem and ISP line for each computer, while providing ready connection for the users, with or without the network wires. Broadband network access is also gaining ground. However, allowing more than two computers to access the Internet at the same time means less affordable, higher costs. Thus, there is a need to share one public IP address over a single Internet connection to link the home with the Internet. The scarcity of IP addresses and using a shared Internet connection through an Internet sharing device can solve high network access costs. All linked computers can make full use of broadband capabilities over such a device. This device not only comes equipped with a wide range of features, but also can be installed and configured right out of the box. This device supports a simple local area network and Internet access share, offering great cost savings. The local area network connects home computers while also allowing any of the computers to access the Internet, share resources, or play online gamesthe basis of the family computing lifestyle. Applications: Broadband Internet access: Several computers can share one high-speed broadband connection through wireless or wired (WLAN, LAN and WAN-Internet). Resource sharing: Share resources such as printers, scanners and other peripherals. File sharing: Exchange data, messages, and distribute files thus making good use of hard disk space. Online gaming: Through the local area network, online gaming and e-commerce services can be easily setup. Firewall: A built-in firewall function for security and anti-hacking systems.
Supported Features: High speed data transfer rate NAT for sharing 1 IP address to all LAN/WLAN users. PPPoE and PPTP protocol for Dial-Up ADSL. 64/128 bit WEP Encryption WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA, WPA2 security DHCP Server / Client. UPnP (Universal Plug and Play). WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) Virtual Server mapping. MAC filtering. Protocol/IP filtering Domain/URL filtering DDNS Upgradeable firmware for future function. Simple installation using Setup Wizard. Easy configuration via Web Browser.

UNPACKING AND SETUP

This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for ENCORE 802.11n Wireless Router. Unpacking Open the box of the WLAN Router and carefully unpack it. The box should contain the following items: One IEEE 802.11b/g/n Wireless Broadband Router One Easy Go Installation CD One Multi-Language Quick Installation Guide Two 2dBi gain dipole antenna One external power adapter If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for replacement. Setup The setup of the WLAN Router can be performed properly using the following methods: The power outlet should be within 1.82 meters (6 feet) of the Broadband Router. Visually inspect the DC power jack and make sure that it is fully secured to the power adapter. Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation and adequate ventilation around the Broadband Router. Do not place heavy objects on the Broadband Router. Fix the direction of the antennas. Try to place the Wireless Router in a position that can best cover your wireless network. Normally, the higher you place the antenna, the better the performance will be. The antennas position enhances the receiving sensitivity.
