Chapter 1 Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of an Instant Wireless 11n Router with 4-port Fast Ethernet Switch and
802.11b/g, 802.11n for cable and DSL application. The Wireless 11n Router is the perfect option to connect a
small group of PCs to a high-speed Broadband Internet connection or to an Ethernet backbone. Configurable as a
DHCP server, the Broadband Router acts as the only externally recognized Internet device on your local area
network (LAN). The Router serves as an Internet firewall, protecting your network from being accessed by outside
users. The data rates up to 300Mbps for wireless connection, user can easy to share HD video or data transfer.
1.1 Overview
Unlike a simple hub or switch, the setup of the Cable/DSL Router consists of more than simply plugging
everything together. Because the Router acts as a DHCP server, you will have to set some values within the
Router, and also configure your networked PCs to accept the IP Addresses the Router chooses to assign them.
And generally there are three different operating modes for your applications. And you can know which mode is
necessary for your system from ISP. These three modes are PPPoE, DHCP client and Static IP. Actually all these
are for IP address of WAN.
