This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
-
-
-
-
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Reviewing Safety Precautions
Please review the following safety precautions before you begin to install the AT-WR2304N IEEE 802.11
b/g/n, Small Business Wireless Router.
Warning
To prevent electric shock, do not remove the cover. No user-serviceable parts inside. This unit
contains hazardous voltages and should only be opened by a trained and qualified technician. To
avoid the possibility of electric shock, disconnect electric power to the product before connecting
or disconnecting the LAN cables.
Warning
Do not work on equipment or cables during periods of lightning activity.
Warning
Power cord is used as a disconnection device. To de-energize equipment, disconnect the power
cord.
Pluggable Equipment. The socket outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily
accessible.
Warning
Operating Temperature. This product is designed for a maximum ambient temperature of 40°
degrees C.
All Countries: Install product in accordance with local and National Electrical Codes.
Caution
Do not install in direct sunlight, or a damp or dusty place.
Installation Guidelines
Allied Telesis recommends that you have an Allied Telesis-certified RF specialist conduct a site survey to
determine the ideal locations for all your Allied Telesis wireless network devices. To conduct a proper site
survey, you need to have proper equipment and training.
The following general practices should be followed in any installation:
•
•
•
•
•
Locate routers centrally within areas requiring coverage.
Overlap router radio coverage areas to avoid shadow areas.
Position the router so that its LEDs are visible. The LEDs are useful for troubleshooting.
Install wired LAN cabling within node limit and cable length limitations.
Use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) when AC power is not reliable.
Proper antenna placement can help improve range. For information about antenna options, contact your
local Allied Telesis representative.
When determining ideal locations for the routers, be aware that you may see network performance
degradation from microwave ovens, cordless telephones, and other routers. For more information, see the
next sections.

AT-WR2304N - IEEE 802.11 b/g/n, Small Business Wireless Router - User Manual
Microwave Ovens
Microwave ovens operate in the same frequency band as 802.11g and 802.11b radios; therefore, if you use
a microwave oven within range of your wireless network, you may notice network performance
degradation. Both your microwave oven and your wireless network will continue to function, but you may
want to consider relocating your microwave oven out of range of your router and wireless clients.
Cordless Telephones
IEEE 802.11bg radio may experience interference from some cordless telephones. For optimal performance,
consider operating cordless telephones out of range of your routers.
Other IEEE 802.11b devices
IEEE 802.11b devices that are configured for the same frequency and that are in the same radio coverage
area may interfere with each other and decrease throughput. You can reduce the chance of interference by
configuring routers at least five channels apart, such as channels 1, 6, and 11.

Chapter 7:Troubleshooting
Why Can I Not Access Setting Page with a Cable
Connection
•
Rechecking your physical connections. Make sure that power cable and RJ-45 cables are inserted tightly
and LED lights up correctly. If LED does not light up properly, try to swap RJ-45 cables.
•
If your client has a valid IP address, you can use “ping” to verify network connectivity. Run a command
window from the client’s PC’s start menu and ping your router’s LAN IP address (such as 192.168.1.1).
If pinging your router repeatedly timeout, you should try one of the following:
)
)
Check your PC’s Network Connections in Control Panel.
Reset the router and configure again.
My Laptop Cannot FindWi-Fi Signal
•
Checking router’s Wireless LED lights up correctly. If LED does not light up properly, try to configure
the router via setting page.
•
Verify the client’s wireless adapter is installed and working properly. On a Windows client, check your
wireless connection from the Network Connections panels and make sure that its status is “Enabled”. If
the adapter is not listed, please check if the adapter is plug-in well and installed the driver. If the adapter
is listed but can not enable the connection, please check the Properties panel to make sure no resource
conflicts.
TheWireless Router Cannot Connect to the Internet
Correctly
If the AT-WR2304N IEEE 802.11 b/g/n, Small Business Wireless Router cannot connect to the Internet
correctly, check the following:
•
•
Make sure that your ISP provides service to you.
Rechecking your physical connections. Make sure that a RJ-45 cable connects WAN port on the router
and modem firmly.
•
Make sure that the router has a correct setting corresponds to your Internet type. If not, configure the
router again via setting page.
Resetting Factory Default Configuration
If you are experiencing problems with the AT-WR2304N and have tried all other troubleshooting measures,
use the Reset Configuration function. This will restore factory defaults and clear all settings, including
settings such as wireless settings.
Hold in the Reset button until the Power LED turns on to restore the factory default settings.

Appendix B: Radio Bands
Allied Telesis’s AT-WR2304N IEEE 802.11 b/g/n, Small Business Wireless Router is capable of operating in
the 2.4GHz (IEEE 802.11b/g/n).
IEEE 802.11 n standard provides a major improvement in the speed at which data can be transferred over a
wireless network. The amount of data being passed over most networks is increasing with many more large
files, including photos, video clips (and videos), etc. being transferred.
IEEE 802.11 n standard uses Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) exploiting multipath propagation; that
increases the data rate by using a technique known as spatial division multiplexing. The data is split into a
number of spatial streams and these are transmitted through separate antennas to corresponding antennas
at the receiver. Increasing the spatial streams you get a greater utilization of the available bandwidth.
