INSTALLING THE MINI ROUTER

INSTALLING THE MINI ROUTER

The Mini Broadband Router has two basic operating modes that can be set through the web-based management interface. For information on setting the mode suitable for your network environment, see “Operation Mode” on page 50.

◆Router Mode — A gateway mode that connects a wired LAN and wireless clients to an Internet access device, such as a cable or DSL modem. This is the factory set default mode.

◆Bridge Mode — An access point mode that extends a wired LAN to wireless clients.

In addition to these basic operating modes, the wireless interface supports Wireless Distribution System (WDS) links to other Mini Broadband Routers, and a wireless AP Client Mode for a link to another wireless network. These advanced configurations are not described in this section, see “Network Planning” on page 25 for more information.

In a basic configuration, how the Mini Broadband Router is connected depends on the operating mode. The sections in this chapter describe connections for basic Router Mode and Bridge Mode operation.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

You must meet the following minimum requirements:

◆An Internet access device (DSL or Cable modem) with an Ethernet port connection.

◆An up-to-date web browser: Internet Explorer 6.0 or above or Mozilla Firefox 2.0 or above.

Setting the HT Channel Bandwidth to 20 MHz slows connection speed for 802.11g and 802.11n to 54 Mbps and 74 Mbps respectively and ensures backward compliance for slower 802.11b devices Figure 58 Station Site Survey SITE SURVEYFigure 59 Station Statistics STATISTICSFrames Transmitted Successfully After Retrys - The number of data frames transmitted from the client and successfully received by the AP or network peer after being retransmited “Virtual Server Settings Port Forwarding” on page “DMZ” on page FIREWALL CONFIGURATION“System Security” on page “Content Filtering” on page MAC/IP/PORT FILTERINGFigure 60 MAC/IP/Port Filtering CHAPTER 9 Firewall ConfigurationCURRENT FILTER RULES Figure 61 Virtual Server VIRTUAL SERVER SETTINGS PORT FORWARDINGCURRENT VIRTUAL SERVERS IN SYSTEM Figure 63 System Security SYSTEM SECURITYFigure 64 Content Filtering CONTENT FILTERINGAdd a Host Filter - Enters the keyword for a host filtering CHAPTER 9 Firewall ConfigurationCurrent Host Filters - Displays current Host filter “System Management” on page “Time Zone Settings” on page ADMINISTRATION SETTINGS“DDNS Settings” on page “Firmware Upgrade” on page “Configuration Settings” on page “System Status” on pageFigure 65 System Management SYSTEM MANAGEMENTFigure 66 Time Zone Settings TIME ZONE SETTINGSFigure 67 DDNS Settings Router Mode DDNS SETTINGSFigure 68 Firmware Upgrade FIRMWARE UPGRADEFigure 69 Configuration Settings CONFIGURATION SETTINGSFigure 70 System Status Router Mode SYSTEM STATUSPage Figure 71 Statistics STATISTICSFigure 72 System Log SYSTEM LOGAPPENDICES “Troubleshooting” on page “Hardware Specifications” on page“Cables and Pinouts” on page “License Information” on page SECTIONIF YOU CANNOT CONNECT TO THE INTERNET TROUBLESHOOTINGDIAGNOSING LED INDICATORS BEFORE CONTACTING TECHNICAL SUPPORT HARDWARE SPECIFICATIONS Draft 802.11n 20MHz, 800ns GI 65/58.5/52/39/26/19.5/13/6.5 Mbps TWISTED-PAIR CABLE ASSIGNMENTS CABLES AND PINOUTS10/100BASE-TX PIN ASSIGNMENTS STRAIGHT-THROUGH WIRINGEIA/TIA 568B RJ-45 Wiring Standard 10/100BASE-TX Crossover Cable CROSSOVER WIRINGPreamble LICENSE INFORMATIONTHE GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE The GNU General Public License APPENDIX D License Informationa.
