Chapter 1: Introduction
CNet Smart Wireless-G Router is the upcoming 54Mbps wireless networking standard that’s
almost five times faster than the widely deployed Wireless-B (802.11b) products found in homes,
businesses, and public wireless hotspots around the country —but since they share the same
2.4GHz radio band, Wireless-G devices can also interoperate with existing 11Mbps Wireless-B
equipment.
Since both standards are built in, you can protect your investment in existing 802.11b
infrastructure, and migrate to the new screaming fast Wireless-G standard as your needs grow.
The CNet Smart Wireless-G Router is really three devices in one box. First, there’s the Wireless
Access Point, which lets you connect Wireless-G or Wireless-B devices to the network. There’s
also a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100 Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices. Connect
four PCs directly, or daisy-chain out to more hubs and switches to create as big a network as you
need. Finally, the Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a
high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection.

Simply put, a router is a network device that connects two networks together. In this instance, the
Router connects your Local Area Network (LAN), or the group of PCs in your home or office, to the
Internet. The Router processes and regulates the data that travels between these two networks.
The Router’s NAT feature protects your network of PCs so users on the public, Internet side
cannot “see” your PCs. This is how your network remains private. The Router protects your
network by inspecting every packet coming in through the Internet port before delivery to the
appropriate PC on your network. The Router inspects Internet port services like the web server, ftp
server, or other Internet applications, and, if allowed, it will forward the packet to the appropriate
PC on the LAN side.
Remember that the Router’s ports connect to two sides. The LAN ports connect to the LAN, and
the Internet port connects to the Internet. The LAN and Internet ports transmit data at
10/100Mbps.

What’s an IP Address?
IP stands for Internet Protocol. Every device on an IP-based network, including PCs, print servers,
and routers, requires an IP address to identify its “location,” or address, on the network. This
applies to both the Internet and LAN connections. There are two ways of assigning an IP address
to your network devices. You can assign static IP addresses or use the Router to assign IP
addresses dynamically.
Static IP Addresses
A static IP address is a fixed IP address that you assign manually to a PC or other device on the
network. Since a static IP address remains valid until you disable it, static IP addressing ensures
that the device assigned it will always have that same IP address until you change it. Static IP
addresses must be unique and are commonly used with network devices such as server PCs or
print servers.
If you use the Router to share your cable or DSL Internet connection, contact your ISP to find out if
they have assigned a static IP address to your account. If so, you will need that static IP address
when configuring the Router. You can get that information from your ISP.
Dynamic IP Addresses
A dynamic IP address is automatically assigned to a device on the network, such as PCs and print
servers. These IP addresses are called “dynamic” because they are only temporarily assigned to
the PC or device. After a certain time period, they expire and may change. If a PC logs onto the
network (or the Internet) and its dynamic IP address has expired, the DHCP server will
automatically assign it a new dynamic IP address.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Servers
PCs and other network devices using dynamic IP addressing are assigned a new IP address by a
DHCP server. The PC or network device obtaining an IP address is called the DHCP client. DHCP
frees you from having to assign IP addresses manually every time a new user is added to your
network.
A DHCP server can either be a designated PC on the network or another network device, such as
the Router. By default, the Router’s DHCP Server function is enabled.
If you already have a DHCP server running on your network, you must disable one of the two
DHCP servers. If you run more than one DHCP server on your network, you will experience
network errors, such as conflicting IP addresses. To disable DHCP on the Router, see the DHCP
section in “Chapter 6: The Router’s Web-based Utility.”

This User Guide covers the steps for setting up a network with the Router (see Figure 1-1). After
going through “Chapter 2: Getting to Know the CNet Smart Wireless-G Router,” most users will
only need to use the following chapters:
• Chapter 3: Connect the Router
This chapter instructs you on how to connect a cable or DSL modem to the Router and connect
your PC(s) to the Router.
• Chapter 4: Configure the PCs
This chapter instructs you on how to configure your PCs to be DHCP clients, if you have
previously set static IP addresses on your PCs.
• Chapter 5: Configure the Router’s Basic Settings
This chapter explains how to configure the Router using your web browser and the Router’s
web-based utility. You will configure the Router for Internet access using the settings provided
by your ISP.
When you’re finished with these basic steps, you will be ready to connect to the Internet. You
can also modify the Router’s settings further; for example, you can adjust security features and
other settings to enable online gaming (see “Chapter 6: The Router’s Web-based Utility”).

The Router’s ports are located on the Router’s back panel.
Internet The Internet port is where you connect your cable or DSL modem through an Ethernet
network cable. Your modem connection will not work from any other port.
Ports 1-4 These four LAN (Local Area Network) ports connect to network devices, such as PCs,
print servers, and network attached storage (NAS). Each of the ports will auto-detect
whether a straight-through or crossover cable is plugged into it, so there is no need for
an uplink port. Any one of the four ports can serve as an uplink port to other network
devices.
Power
The Power port is where you will connect the power adapter.
The Router’s LEDs display information about the Router’s status.

Chapter 3: Connect the Router
The Router’s setup consists of more than simply plugging hardware together. You will have to
configure your networked PCs to accept the IP addresses that the Router assigns them (if
applicable), and you will also have to configure the Router with setting(s) provided by your Internet
Service Provider (ISP).
The installation technician from your ISP should have left the setup information for your modem
with you after installing your broadband connection. If not, you can call your ISP to request that
data.
Once you have the setup information you need for your specific type of Internet connection, you
can begin installation and setup of the Router.
If you want to use a PC with an Ethernet adapter to configure the Router, go to “Wired Connection
to a PC.” If you want to use a PC with a wireless adapter to configure the Router, go to “Wireless
Connection to a PC and Boot-Up.”
1. Before you begin, make sure that all of your network’s hardware is powered off, including the
Router, PCs, and cable or DSL modem.
2. Connect one end of an Ethernet network cable to one of the LAN ports (labeled 1-4) on the back
of the Router, and the other end to an Ethernet port on a PC.
Repeat this step to connect more PCs, a switch, or other network devices to the Router.
3. Connect a different Ethernet network cable from your cable or DSL modem to the Internet port
on the Router’s rear panel. This is the only port that will work for your modem connection.

Security CNet Smart Wireless-G Router provide 40/64/128 bit WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
and 256-bit WPA ( Wi-Fi Protected Access ). WEP and WPA are an encryption method used to
protect your wireless data communications. WEP uses 40-bit or 64-bit or 128-bit keys to provide
access control to your network and encryption security for every data transmission. WPA uses
256-bit keys to provide access control to your network and encryption security for every data
transmission. To decode data transmissions, all devices- Wireless-G and Wireless-B-in a network
must use an identical WEP or WPA key. Higher encryption levels offer higher levels of security,
but due to the complexity of the encryption, they may decrease network performance.
To Enable wireless encryption function, click the Enable radio button. Then click the Config
Security button to configure the Security settings. To disable wireless encryption, keep the default

WEP Encryption Select the level of WEP encryption you wish to use, 64-bit 10 hex digits or
128-bit 26 hex digits. Higher encryption levels offer higher levels of security, but due to the
complexity of the encryption, they may decrease network performance.
Passphrase Instead of manually entering WEP keys, you can enter a Passphrase. This
Passphrase is used to generate one or more WEP keys. It is case-sensitive and should not be
longer than 16 alphanumeric characters. (This Passphrase function is compatible with CNet
wireless products only. If you want to communicate with non-CNet wireless products, enter the
WEP key manually on the non-CNet wireless products.) After you enter the Passphrase, click the
Generate button to create WEP keys.
Keys 1-4 WEP keys enable you to create an encryption scheme for wireless LAN transmissions. If
you are not using a Passphrase, then manually enter a set of values. (Do not leave a key field
blank, and do not enter all zeroes. These are not valid key values.)
If you are using 64-bit WEP encryption, then the key must be exactly 10 hexadecimal characters in
length. If you are using 128-bit WEP encryption, then the key must be exactly 26 hexadecimal
characters in length. Valid hexadecimal characters are “0”-“9” and “A”-“F”.
Check all the values, and click the Apply button to save your WEP settings. To cancel any

DMZ The DMZ hosting feature allows one local user to be exposed to the Internet for use of a
special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or videoconferencing. DMZ hosting forwards all
the ports at the same time to one PC. The Port Forwarding feature is more secure because it only
opens the ports you
want to have opened, while DMZ hosting opens all the ports of one computer, exposing the
computer so the Internet can see it.
Any PC whose port is being forwarded must have its DHCP client function disabled and should
have a new static IP address assigned to it because its IP address may change when using the
DHCP function.
1. To expose one PC, select Enable.
2. Enter the computer's IP address in the DMZ Host IP Address field.
3. Click the Apply button.
Block WAN Request By enabling the Block WAN Request feature, you can prevent your network

DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Its clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast
and multicast messages.
RTS Threshold This value should remain at its default setting of 2347. The range is 0-2347 bytes.
Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications are recommended. If a
network packet is smaller than the preset RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will not be
enabled. The Router sends Request to Send (RTS) frames to a particular receiving station and
negotiates the sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS, the wireless station responds with
a Clear to Send (CTS) frame to acknowledge the right to begin transmission.
Fragmentation Threshold This value should remain at its default setting of 2346. The range is
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
256-2346 bytes. It specifies the maximum size for a packet before data is fragmented into multiple
packets. If you experience a high packet error rate, you may slightly increase the Fragmentation
Threshold. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor network performance.
Only minor modifications of this value are recommended.
