Terminology list

This manual will contain a number of technical terms. It is important to know what they mean before you begin installing and configuring the router.

• Router: This is the product you have just bought. A router acts as a boundary between two networks, WAN and LAN.
• Network cable. A network cable is used for connecting network devices such as computers, modems and routers. You may already have such a cable, the cable in the package contents is intended to connect the router to your modem.
• ISP: Internet Service Provider, this is the company that supplies you your Internet connection.
• Broadband modem: From here on: modem. Your modem is the device you already have or that has been supplied to you by your ISP that currently provides your internet connection. The two most common modem types are cable modems and ADSL modems, but other kinds of modems also exist.
• LAN: LAN stands for "Local Area Network", in the case of this router, the LAN consists of the four yellow ports and the wireless network. With the router, all your computers will form a single LAN.
• WAN: WAN stands for "Wide Area Network", in most cases this means the Internet.
• Wireless security: By default, the router's wireless network is not secured. This means that anyone in range (including your neighbours) can connect to the network and use your internet connection. Wireless security protects your network so that only authorised devices can gain access. Sweex recommends all users to secure their wireless network after installation using either the WPA or WPS methods explained further on in the "securing your wireless network" chapter of this manual.

SSID

The most important setting in this screen is the SSID, this is the name of your wireless network, used for identification purposes. When SSID broadcast is enabled, you and everyone else in range of your network can see the name in the list of available wireless networks.

It is recommended that you change the SSID, the default SSID "Sweex LW320/321" can cause conflicts if multiple routers of this model are in range of each other. When changing the SSID, you will need to connect to your wireless network again as described in the chapter "Connecting to a wireless network".

Region

Per region the laws for wireless configurations can be different, choose the region where you are located from the "pull down" menu.

Channel

The Channel setting controls the frequency on which the router transmits its wireless signal. With the default option, "AutoSelect", the router will scan all channels when powered up and automatically select the channel with the best signal conditions. Changing the channel is only recommended when you experience poor wireless performance of the router.

Mode

The type of wireless standard can be chosen here, it is recommended to use the default setting.

Channel Width

In this section it is possible to manually select the channel width (20/40MHz), it is recommended to keep the default setting.

Max Tx Rate

The Tx speed can be selected in this section, it is recommended to make use of the default setting.

After changing any of the settings, click the "Save" button to apply the changes.

Securing your wireless network

Wireless security protects your wireless network so that only authorised devices can gain access. Sweex recommends all users to secure their wireless network. Securing your network should only be done after internet access through the router has successfully been set up.

There are four methods for securing your wireless network:

• WPA/WPA2 (Enterprise/Personal) is a manual method of securing your network. You configure a security key and only devices with this key can access the network. You have to manually enter the key in each device that you want to grant access. WPA is supported by Windows XP Service Pack 2 and newer and by most other devices. It is currently the recommended method for securing your wireless network. WPA2 is an upgrade to WPA and requires at least Windows XP Service Pack 3. To connect to a WPA/WPA2 Enterprise connection a RADIUS server IP and password is required.
• WPS is built on top of WPA and enables automatic configuration and exchange of WPA keys through a PIN code or the simple push of a button. WPS is supported by Windows Vista Service Pack 2 and Windows 7. Under Windows XP, WPS support is dependent on software or utilities provided by the manufacturer of your wireless network adapter.
• Some older devices, from 2005 or before and in some cases Windows 98, ME, 2000 and older Windows XP versions (before Service Pack 2) may not support WPA, in this case you will have to fall back to the older WEP method for wireless security. WEP is not recommended for normal operation since it is no longer considered fully secure by today's standards.

The Security Settings page can be accessed by clicking "Wireless" — "Wireless Security" in the menu on the left side.

Method 1: WEP

Securing your network with WEP is done in 3 steps:

1. Select the following settings:

Type: "Automatic" (it is recommended to use the default setting)

WEP Key Format: "Hexadecimal" or "ASCII"

Key Selected: Insert the chosen "WEP key" and define the "Key type"

1. When finished, click the "Save" button. If you were connected wirelessly, you will now observe that your connection is lost.

Follow the steps described in the "Connecting to a wireless network" section of the manual to regain the (now secure) connection.

Method 2: WPA

Securing your network with WPA is done in 2 steps:

1. Select the following settings:

Security Mode: "Mixed WPA/WPA2"

WPA Algorithms: TKIP (only for Enterprise) & AES

Pass Phrase: Here you have to set the security key (password) for your wireless network. This should be a difficult to guess word or phrase. The minimum length for the pass phrase is 8 characters. We also recommend you to write the pass phrase down and store it near the router. If the pass phrase is lost you please refer to the troubleshooting section of this manual.

1. When finished, click the "Save" button. If you were connected wirelessly, you will now observe that your connection is lost. Follow the steps described in the "Connecting to a wireless network" section of the manual to regain the (now secure) connection.

Method 3: WPS

For this method no additional settings are required, simply push the WPS button at the front of the router. After a few seconds, the WPS light at the front of the router will start to blink. As long as the light blinks, you are able to connect your WPS enabled device to the router. After a successful connection, the WPS light will stop blinking. To connect another WPS enabled device, simply push the button again before connecting.

After a WPS secured connection has been set up for the first time, all previously connected devices will lose their connection. You will have to connect them using the same WPS method or by manually entering the WPA key as described below.

To connect a non-WPS device to a WPS secured router, click "WPS" in the menu on the left side, the "WPS Key (ASCII)" is the WPA key you can use for connecting non-WPS enabled devices.

Advanced features

In this chapter we will describe some of the advanced features in the router. The following sections assume basic knowledge of computer networking technology and terminology.

Static DHCP

By default, the router dynamically assigns IP addresses to all connected devices through the DHCP protocol. This is the most user-friendly method of network configuration but it can also lead to IP addresses that change over time or when a device reconnects. In certain cases this is undesirable behaviour, for example when you use port forwarding it is necessary for the device's IP address to remain constant. One possible solution is to configure a static IP address in the device itself but this can cause problems when you also use the device on other networks. Another solution is to instruct the router to always assign the same IP address to the device. This is called static DHCP or DHCP address reservation.

To setup static DHCP for a device, log in to the router as described in the "Advanced setup" chapter and click "DHCP" — "Address Reservation" in the menu on the left. You will see the following screen:

SWEEX Add or Modify an Address Reservation Entry BAC Address: Reserved IP Address: Status: Enabled Save Back

To configure a device for a static DHCP address, fill out the device's corresponding MAC address in the "MAC Address" section and fill in the "desired IP in the "Reserved IP Address", then click the "Save" button. Look at the "DHCP Clients List" to see the IP and MAC addresses of all automatically configured devices currently active on your network.

Note: Do not assign static DHCP addresses in the range 192.168.32.100 to 192.168.32.200! This range is already used for dynamically assigned addresses. The addresses 192.168.32.1 (the router itself) and 192.168.32.255 (broadcast address) may also not be used.

Port forwarding (virtual server) and DMZ setup

For certain applications, devices and servers, it may be necessary so setup port forwarding for them to operate properly behind the router's firewall. This is because by default, the firewall blocks all incoming connections and allows only outgoing connections. For technical reasons the built-in firewall is inherent to the routing function and cannot be disabled completely.

Port forwarding instructs the router to accept an incoming connection on a certain port and forward it to the IP address of a device in your local network. Please note that use of the term port in this chapter refers to TCP or UDP ports and is not related to the physical WAN and LAN ports at the back of the router.

DMZ is a special case of port forwarding where the router is instructed to forward all incoming connections to the specified address.

To setup port forwarding, login to the router as described in the "Advanced setup" chapter and click "Forwarding" — "Virtual Servers" in the menu on the left. You will see the following screen:

SWEEX L WEDD WIRELESS 300N ROUTER Status Quick Swap WITS Network Wireless DNET Formability - Virtual Servers - Port Trapping - D462 UP/UP Security Prepaid Control Access Control Advanced Ordering Bandwidth Control IP & Mail Ordering Systems GUI System Tools Virtual Servers ID Service Port IP Address Protocol Status Modify Add New: Exchange Add Document Add Update Add Preview Focus

For a DMZ, click "DMZ" in the menu on the left, enter the IP address of the device, check the "Enable" checkbox and click the "Save" button.

Bandwidth Control

Bandwidth control is also known as "bandwidth management". It allows you to artificially restrict bandwidth for one or more devices on your network. This can be useful when, for example, you need to reserve bandwidth for a VOIP phone or you want to restrict the bandwidth available to peer-to-peer applications.

To setup Bandwidth Control, login to the router as described in the "Advanced setup" chapter, click "Bandwidth Control" — "Rules List" in the menu on the left and check the "Enable" checkbox. You will see the following screen:

SWEEX Connected Home Immersion mode Panel Bandwidth Control Rule Settings Enable: IP Manager Port Manager Protocol: ALL Min Bandwidth(0fps) Max Bandwidth(0fps) Egress Bandwidths: 0 Egress Bandwidths: 0 Save Back

First enter the WAN upload bandwidth and download bandwidth in kbps. As a rule, take the speeds advertised by your ISP and lower them by 10% or use a speed testing website to measure your bandwidth, and lower the outcome by 5%. Next you can start creating rules. Enter the desired port(s) and protocol(s) that the rule should apply to or select a predefined service, and set the IP address of your device or an IP range for multiple devices and set the desired guaranteed and maximum bandwidth. Next click the "Save" checkbox.

Note: When applying traffic control rules to a certain device, it is advisable to give it a static DHCP IP address first. Otherwise the device may change IP address and the rule will no longer apply, or apply to a different computer instead.

• My computer indicates that it is not connected to a network.
- This problem is usually resolved by carefully checking all connections and indicator lights. For a wired computer, follow the network cable to the router's backside. It must be plugged in to one of the yellow LAN ports. The yellow ports are also numbered and corresponding to each LAN port there is an indicator light at the front of the router. This light must be lit to indicate a working connection. If the light is off, fiddle the cable or try a different cable. For a wireless computer, check the wireless connection status icon at the bottom right of your screen, there should not be a red cross. If you see a red cross, follow the steps described in the "Connecting to a wireless network" section of the manual.
- I have Windows Vista and I get the error message "the settings saved on this computer for the network do not match the requirements of the network" when I try to connect wirelessly.

   • There are two possible solutions for this issue:

3. Access the router from a computer that is connected by network cable as described in the "Advanced setup" section of this manual. Click "Wireless Network" — "Security Settings", you can view the key there.

4. Reset the router to its factory default settings, which is an unsecured network. The reset procedure is described further on.

• I cannot find any wireless networks

- This problem usually happens on notebooks, most notebooks have a switch or keyboard combination to disable/enable its Wireless networking module. Consult the manual of your notebook for enabling the wireless module.

- I can find other networks, but I don't see the Sweex LW320/321 network

• There are two possible solutions for this issue:

1. You are out of range of the router. Please try to connect in the same room that the router is in.

2. The router is transmitting on a channel that you cannot receive. This may sometimes occur when the router is transmitting on channels 12 or 13, which not all devices can receive. To change the channel, see chapter "Wireless Network Configuration".

- My router no longer responds, or I want to start with a clean sheet (reset).

- This can be solved by resetting the router to its factory default settings. After the reset, your router will be as you unpacked it and you have to install it again according to this manual. To reset the router, press the WPS button for 15 seconds. After a successful reset you will see the SYS and WLAN lights go out.

- I want to connect more than 4 wired devices to the router. How can I expand the number of ports?

- This can be done by connecting an Ethernet network switch to one of the LAN ports.
