Answer 2

You have two options of connecting this router: l hope you have an english maual. But before you continue to connect, you need to setup the wireless passwords etc. That means dont connect it to anything except your laptop using a network cable. Make sure your laptop is configured to obtain ip addresses automatically.

Ping 192.168.1.1 to make sure tyour laptop is communicating with the router.

to get ping:

Click “Start” -> “Run”

 Type the command “cmd”, and then click "OK"

 Enter the command “ping 192.168.1.1”, and then press ”enter”

You should get respond everything is ok! Then fire up internet explorer of any browser you use.

input http://192.168.1.1 in Internet Explorer’s address bar, you will see the homepage.

Enter
“admin”
for the User name and Password, both in lower case letters. Then click the “OK” or press
“Enter”
.
Now proceed to setup your wireless passwords etc.

Now proceed to the following


1.  N100RE can be used as a repeater and a Wireless AP

This is the is easiest way l recommend to you. Take a second network cable and connect it to the back of your telone modem, then connect the other end to the N100RE. Use any one of the 4 switch port, avoid using the yellow labeled port, any red ones will do.
