on a surface. The second way is to attach the router to the wall. The third way is to stand
the Router vertically on a surface. These options are explained in further detail below.
Desktop Option
1. The Router has one plastic stand that can be divided into two parts.
2. Combine one part of stand with the side of router.
3. Do the same with the second part.
5

4. Place the Router
Wall-mount option
Before attach this router on the wall, you have to finish the desktop option steps first.
1. Select a location with access for cables and a power outlet.

2. Unplug the unit. Place it upside down on a flat surface and mark the two holes for
anchors.
3. Installing the Wall mount anchor (plastic) into the wall with tools such as drill or
hammer.
4. Insert the provided screws in each hole of the stand parts.
5. Attaches the unit to the anchors on the wall.
Stand Option

2. Combine two parts into one stand. Combine it with the side of router near the power
port. Push the stand up to snap it into place.
3. Place the Router.
Restore Default Button
1. Push the button for more than 5 seconds and then release it, the
system will return to factory default setting. In the meantime, system
rewrites flash to default value and Status LED halts for a while.
Approximately 60 seconds later, the Status LED blinks green
periodically, now the whole system parameters have returned to
factory default value. If the process has been interrupted by any
reason (power off…), the system will fail. Before performing the
process, ensure a safe operating environment please！
2. To reboot the Router, Press the button for 2-5 seconds and then
release it, and all the setting won’t be erased. Wait for the Router to
complete the reboot, and then you can start to use it.

Common configurations for WAN interface
There are some settings are able to be configured on each WAN access
types:
Enable Web Server Access To Enable the user to access this Router through Internet,
on WAN from port Enter the specific IP and the port number
Enable IPsec pass through Mark the check box to enable IPsec pass through on VPN

Enable L2TP pass through Mark the check box to enable L2TP pass through on VPN
on VPN connection connection and clear the checkbox to disable.
Clone MAC Address When ISP use MAC address authentication (with DHCP),
then the MAC address of the Ethernet card attached to
your Cable modem must be registered with the ISP
before connecting to the WAN (Internet). If the Ethernet
card is changed, the new MAC address must be
registered with the ISP.
MAC cloning feature allows the MAC address reported by
WAN side network interface card to be set to the MAC
address already registered with the ISP eliminating the
need to register the new MAC address with the ISP. This
feature does not change the actual MAC address on the
NIC, but instead changes the MAC address reported by
Wireless Router to client requests. To Change the MAC
address, enter it in the text box.

FAQ
Q: What can I do if I forgot my password, or my router is not
working correctly?
A: Step 1 Locate the reset pinhole on the back of the unit.
Step 2 With the unit powered on, press and hold the Reset button.
Step 3 Hold the Reset button for about 15 seconds.
Step 4 Release the Reset button.
Step 5 The unit will reboot. Allow 20-30 seconds before reconnecting.
Step 6 The device is now at factory defaults.

The default user name is admin and the password is admin.
Q: How can I configure my router to work with a DSL (PPPoE)

connection?
A: Make sure you disable or uninstall any PPPoE software such as

WinPoet, Broadjump, or Enternet 300 from your computer or you will
not be able to connect to the Internet. Do not disable until you’ve
downloaded the firmware in Step 1. Please make sure that your
modem is not also a router. If it is or you do not know, please contact
your ISP and change the modem to Bridge mode.
Note: In some areas, BellSouth and Verizon may not use PPPoE.
44

Step 1 Upgrade to the latest firmware.
Step 2 Take a paperclip and perform a hard reset. With unit on, use a
paperclip and hold down the reset button on the back of the unit for 15
seconds. Release it and the router will recycle, the lights will blink, and
then stabilize.
Step 3 After the router stabilizes, open your web browser (Internet
Explorer, Netscape, etc), enter 192.168.1.1 into the address window,
and hit the Enter key. When the password dialog box appears, enter
the username admin and password admin. Click OK.
If the password dialog box does not come up repeat Step 2.
Note: Do not run Wizard.
Step 4 Click on the WAN tab on top of the screen. Select PPPoE.
Step 5 Select PPPoE (unless your ISP supplied you with a static IP
address).
Step 6 For Earthlink users, under the username field enter

ELN/[email protected] and your password, where username
is your own username (some Earthlink users may not need the ELN/ in
front of username).
For SBC Global users, enter [email protected].

For Ameritech users, enter [email protected].
For BellSouth users, enter [email protected].**
For most other ISPs, enter username.
Step 7 Idle Time should be set to zero. Set MTU to 1492, unless
specified by your ISP.
Note: If you experience problems accessing certain websites and/or

email issues, please set the MTU to a lower number such as 1472,
1452, etc. Contact your ISP for more information and the proper MTU
setting for your connection.
Step 8 Click Apply. When prompted, click Continue. Once the screen
refreshes, unplug the power to the router.
45

Step 9 Turn off your DSL modem for 2-3 minutes. Turn back on. Once
the modem has established a link to your ISP, plug the power back into
the router. Wait about 30 seconds and log back into the router.
Step 10 Click on the Status tab in the web configuration where you
can view the device info. Under WAN, click DHCP Release, then click
Back, then click DHCP Renew, and then click Back. You should now
see that the device info will show an IP address, verifying that the
device has connected to a server and has been assigned an IP address.
