To quick setup your network, make sure you have logged in; the default password is
admin. ClickAdmin Setupto quick set your device after log in .
And you can do settings as following:
Name your Wi-Fi network (SSID): This name is visible to other Wi-Fi-enabled
devices, and is used to identify your Wi-Fi network. The length of the SSID must
be 1-32 characters long including _.
Set up Wi-Fi security: Select a security type and create a password for it. The
recommended setting is WPA. Anyone can access your device and use your
Internet connection if you disable this function.

password automatically.
If you want to see all security types, click the link and you will find there are totally 10
options for you to choose in the Wi-Fi security type, the options are:
None: Not security. It is not recommended since anyone can access your device
and use your internet connection.
WEP 64 Bit - Shared: Lower security. Works with older and newer Wi-Fi devices.
Recommended only if your devices don't support WPA or WPA2. Shared WEP
uses the same key for encryption and authentication which is considered to be
less secure than open WEP. 10 HEX characters needed.
WEP 128 Bit - Shared: Lower security. Works with older and newer Wi-Fi
devices. Recommended only if your devices don't support WPA or WPA2.
Shared WEP uses the same key for encryption and authentication which is
considered to be less secure than open WEP. 26 HEX characters needed.
WEP 64 Bit - Open: Lower security. Works with older and newer Wi-Fi devices.
Recommended only if your devices don't support WPA or WPA2. Open WEP
uses the key only for encryption. 10 HEX characters needed.
WEP 128 Bit - Open: Lower security. Works with older and newer Wi-Fi devices.

Channel: Different domain has different channels (Channel 1~11 in FCC (US)/IC
(Canada); Channel 1~13 in ETSI (Europe); Channel 1~13 in MKK (Japan)). If
your network has problems (possibly caused by other Wi-Fi networks in the
vicinity using the same channel), change to another one.
Max Number of Users: Set the maximum number of Wi-Fi users. If your network
has problems, you may want to decrease the number of Wi-Fi users allowed to
connect to the device. The default and maximum value is 5.
SSID Broadcast: Disable SSID broadcast in the access point or device to secure
Wi-Fi detected as a "cloaked" network.
Beacon Period: Beacon Period is the frequency of broadcast packets from the
device which is used to synchronize wireless networks. Set lower value for finding
and connecting to the device fast when higher value helps to save power.
Data Rate: There are different options when you select different Wireless
Interface. 802.11b Only: Auto, 1, 2, 5.5, and11Mbps; 802.11g Only: Auto, 6, 9, 12,

newer Wi-Fi devices. 8 to 63 ASCII characters needed.
WPA/WPA2 - Personal: Wi-Fi devices that use either WPA or WPA2 can
connect to the device. Supported by most Wi-Fi devices. 8 to 63 ASCII characters
needed.
The length of your Wi-Fi password depends on the type that you've selected.

this page.
The old PIN is needed if you want to unlock SIM or set a new PIN. Select Lock and
click Save button when you dont want to use the PIN.
Note: The PUK (an 8-digit code) is required when PIN is input incorrectly 3 times. If
the PUK is wrongly input for continuously 10 times, the card will be damaged. Please
contact the network service provider for details.
Router IP Address: The router's IP address on the LAN. The default setting is
192.168.1.1.
Subnet Mask: The router's internal LAN subnet mask. The default setting is
255.255.255.0.
Hostname: User can access the device directly via entering the hostname in the
address bar of the browser.
DHCP Server: DHCP Server will automatically assign IP addresses to devices on
the network. The default setting is Enable.
DHCP IP Pool: Set a range of IP addresses available to access.
DHCP Lease Time: Amount of time that a Wi-Fi-enabled device can use its
assigned IP address before it is required to renew the lease.
Static DHCP
With DHCP, IP addresses are assigned dynamically; devices typically don't have a
permanent IP address. But sometimes you may want to assign a static IP address to
a device, while still using DHCP for the rest of the devices on your network.
17
You may want to do this with, for example, a Web server, FTP server, media server.
Hostname: the name of the device that you want to assign IP Address to.
MAC Address: the MAC Address of the device that you want to assign IP
Address to.
IP Address: input the permanent IP Address that you want to assign to the
device.
You can determine to enable it or not, and can also add new client and edit or delete
existing ones.

Select No Filtering" to disable this function.
Select Block all in the list" to deny all devices in the LAN to access the URLs that
you have set in the URL filtering list.
You can select to add new configuration in the list (no more than 10), edit or delete
exist ones.
Device List
The Device List lists the information about the device in the LAN including IP address,
host name, MAC address and connect mode.
UPnP: UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) provides connectivity among consumer
electronics, intelligent appliances and mobile devices from many different
vendors.
Note: When not required, it should be disabled since they may cause security risk.
