User’s Guide Configuring your Computers WPS Introduction of WPS Although home Wi-Fi networks have become more and more popular, users still have trouble with the initial set up of network. This obstacle forces users to use the open security and increases the risk of eavesdropping. Therefore, WPS is designed to ease set up of security-enabled Wi-Fi networks and subsequently network management (Wi-Fi Protected Setup Specification 1.0h.pdf, p. 8).
User’s Guide Configuring your Computers AP mode For AP mode, Wireless Gateway supports three roles, registrar, proxy, and enrollee in registration protocol. At different scenarios, Wireless Gateway will automatically switch to an appropriate role depending on the other device’s role or a specific configuration. AP as Enrollee If users know AP’s PIN and enter it into external registrar, the external registrar will configure AP with a new wireless profile such as new SSID and new security settings.
User’s Guide Configuring your Computers Instructions of AP’s and Client’s operations At this state, AP is transparent to users. If users want to configure a station or any device that is capable of being an enrollee, they have to enter device’s PIN into an external registrar and choose an appropriate wireless profile. After the PIN is entered, the external registrar will inform AP this event. AP then conveys the encrypted wireless profile between the device and the external registrar.
User’s Guide Configuring your Computers Field Description Disable WPS Check to disable the Wi-Fi protected Setup. WPS Status When AP’s settings are factory default (out of box), it is set to open security and un-configured state. “WPS Status” will display it as “UnConfigured”.

User’s Guide 46 Configuring your Computers Diagnostic The DSL device supports some useful diagnostic tools. Ping Once you have your DSL device configured, it is a good idea to make sure you can ping the network. A ping command sends a message to the host you specify. If the host receives the message, it sends messages in reply. To use it, you must know the IP address of the host you are trying to communicate with and enter the IP address in the Host Address field.

User’s Guide IP Addresses, Network Masks, and Subnets B IP Addresses, Network Masks, and Subnets IP Addresses This section refers only to IP addresses for IPv4 (version 4 of the Internet Protocol). IPv6 addresses are not covered. Note This section assumes basic knowledge of binary numbers, bits, and bytes. IP addresses, the Internet's version of telephone numbers, are used to identify individual nodes (computers or devices) on the Internet.
User’s Guide IP Addresses, Network Masks, and Subnets scope of this discussion.) These classes have different uses and characteristics. Class A networks are the Internet's largest networks, each with room for over 16 million hosts. Up to 126 of these huge networks can exist, for a total of over 2 billion hosts. Because of their huge size, these networks are used for WANs and by organizations at the infrastructure level of the Internet, such as your ISP.
User’s Guide IP Addresses, Network Masks, and Subnets 255.255.255.192 or 11111111.11000000 11111111. 11111111. The two extra bits in field4 can have four values (00, 01, 10, 11), so there are four subnets. Each subnet uses the remaining six bits in field4 for its host IDs, ranging from 1 to 62. Sometimes a subnet mask does not specify any additional network ID bits, and thus no subnets. Such a mask is called a default subnet mask. These masks are: Note Class A: Class B: Class C: 255.0.0.0 255.255.0.

User’s Guide Troubleshooting Problem Troubleshooting Suggestion My LAN PCs cannot display web pages on the Internet. Verify that the DNS server IP address specified on the PCs is correct for your ISP, as discussed in the item above. If you specified that the DNS server be assigned dynamically from a server, then verify with your ISP that the address configured on the Wireless ADSL2+ Router is correct, then You can use the ping utility, to test connectivity with your ISP’s DNS server.
User’s Guide Troubleshooting Diagnosing Problem using IP Utilities ping Ping is a command you can use to check whether your PC can recognize other computers on your network and the Internet. A ping command sends a message to the computer you specify. If the computer receives the message, it sends messages in reply. To use it, you must know the IP address of the computer with which you are trying to communicate. On Windows-based computers, you can execute a ping command from the Start menu.
User’s Guide Troubleshooting nslookup You can use the nslookup command to determine the IP address associated with an Internet site name. You specify the common name, and the nslookup command looks up the name in on your DNS server (usually located with your ISP). If that name is not an entry in your ISP’s DNS table, the request is then referred to another higher-level server, and so on, until the entry is found. The server then returns the associated IP address.

User’s Guide Glossary When a computer connects to the LAN, DHCP assigns it an IP address from a shared pool of IP addresses; after a specified time limit, DHCP returns the address to the pool. DHCP relay Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol relay A DHCP relay is a computer that forwards DHCP data between computers that request IP addresses and the DHCP server that assigns the addresses. Each of the Wireless ADSL2+ Router's interfaces can be configured as a DHCP relay. See DHCP.
