Dynamic IP Address A dynamic IP address is a temporary IP number, dynamically or randomly generated by a DHCP server. The address lasts only as long as the server allots, usually in the space of a day or two. When the IP address expires, the client is automatically reassigned a new IP address, ensuring smooth communication. If you are using your wireless router to share an Internet connection, your ISP might have assigned you a dynamic IP address, which you use when configuring your router. See Section 3: Configuration.

DHCP Server

A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Server assigns IP addresses to clients connected to the router. A client is any wireless device that can connect with your router. The client (PC, gaming device, etc.) is automatically assigned an IP address every time a wireless device is added to your network, which frees you from manually assigning IP addresses.
Sample Home Network Diagram
Your wireless router serves as the centerpiece of your network, allowing you to share files, printers, and the Internet connection. A sample home network is shown below:
The Internet communicates with the modem which in turn communicates with the router. The router acts as the gateway to your network: it sends devices information such as requests for Internet access, file sharing, or multiplayer games. The router controls the information for your network, intelligently routing the information to its required destination while at the same time protecting your network from the public domain.

Positioning Your Router

To achieve the best wireless performance, review these guidelines before deciding where to place your router: Placing your base station in the physical center of your network is the best location because the antenna sends out the signal in all directions. Placing the router in a higher location, such as on top of a cabinet, helps disperse the signal cleanly, especially to receiving locations on upper stories. If possible, position your router so there is direct line of sight between the router and your other home network devices. Avoid placing the router next to large solid objects like computer cases, monitors, walls, fireplaces, etc. This helps the signal penetrate more cleanly. Other wireless devices like televisions, radios, microwaves, and 2.4 GHz cordless telephones can interfere with the signal. Keep these devices away from the router. Mirrors, especially silver-coated, can reduce transmission performance.

Wireless Range

The following lists the expected wireless range of the router. This table is only a guide and coverage varies due to local conditions. Data Rate 54 Mbps 11 Mbps 5.5 Mbps 2 or 1 Mbps Open Area Up to 100 ft (30m) Up to 900 feet (275 m) Up to 1300 feet (396 m) Up to 1500 feet (457 m) Closed Area Up to 60 ft (18m) Up to 160 feet (49 m) Up to 200 feet (61 m) Up to 300 feet (91 m)

Technical Specifications

Your wireless router uses a radio transmission technology defined by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) called 802.11 Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi). This standard is subdivided into distinct categories of speed and the frequency spectrum used, designated by the lower case letter after the standard. For example, your router supports both the b and g specifications. The 802.11b specification transmits data rates up to 11 Mbps while the 802.11g specification transmits data rates up to 54 Mbps. These are theoretical standards so your performance may vary. The radio waves radiate out in a donut-shaped pattern. The waves travel through walls and floors, but transmission power and distance are affected. The theoretical distance limit is 1,000 feet (305 meters), but actual throughput and distance varies. Both standards operate in the 2.4 GHz range, meaning other electrical appliances also might interfere with the router televisions, radios, microwave ovens, or 2.4 GHz cordless telephones. Therefore, positioning your router where it encounters the least interference helps maintain a better connection.
Router Physical Description
The following sections describe the physical characteristics of your router. For instructions on installing your router, see Section 2: Installation.

My computer is experiencing difficulty connecting to the wireless network. Ensure that your router is powered on and that the Wireless LED is flashing. Ensure that your wireless adapter (PCI card, Notebook or Ethernet adapter) is installed correctly and is active. Ensure that your wireless adapters radio signal is enabled. Review your adapters documentation for further instructions. Ensure that your wireless adapter for your PC and the wireless router have the same security settings that will allow your computer to access the wireless network. Also, verify that the Access Control List (ACL) is not configured to block your PC. For details on adjusting your security settings, see Configuring Wireless Security Settings in Section 3: Configuration. Ensure that your wireless adapter is within range of your router or is not behind an obstruction. For example, metal structures will interfere with the signal, as will 2.4 GHz cordless phones, and microwaves. Ensure that your routers antenna is connected and that your PCs wireless adapter antenna is also connected.

Section 4

Troubleshooting
My computer is experiencing difficulty in connecting to the router. Ensure that all of your cabling connections are firmly connected. This includes the cables from the wall to your modem, between the router and modem, and, if available, from the router to your PC. Ensure that your LEDs are not lit Red or not at all. For further information about LED descriptions, see Section 1: Overview. Ensure that you are using Ethernet cables and not telephone cables between the router and modem or router and PC. See the illustration below. Ethernet cables use a wider RJ-45 style plug using 8 wires where telephone style plugs use the smaller RJ-11 style plug using 4 to 6 wires.
The plug on the left is RJ-45; the plug on the right is RJ-11 use only RJ-45.
Ensure that your Ethernet adapter is enabled. To check the status of your adapter, click the monitor icon in the System Tray at the bottom right of your screen. You can also check the status of the Ethernet adapter by selecting Control Panel > Network and Dial-Up Connections. My broadband modem already uses a built-in router. Because the two routers will cancel each other out, turn off the NAT function in the modem to enable access for your router. Refer to your modems documentation for further instructions.
