Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the WL-370 Wireless Concurrent Dual
Band Gigabit Router 300N. The WL-370 is compliant with 802.11a and
802.11n and up to 6 times faster than standard 802.11g based routers while
still being compatible with 802.11g & 802.11b devices. The WL-370 is not
only a Wireless Access Point, but also doubles as a 4-port full-duplex Gigabit
switch that connects your wired-Ethernet devices together at 10/100/1000
Mbps speeds.
At 300 Mbps wireless transmission rate, the Access Point built into the Router
uses advanced MIMO (Multi-Input, Multi-Output) technology to transmit
multiple streams of data in a single wireless channel, giving you seamless
access to multimedia content. The robust RF signal travels farther, eliminates
dead spots and extends the network range. For data protection and privacy,
the WL-370 encodes all wireless transmissions with WEP, WPA, or WPA2
encryption.
With the inbuilt DHCP Server & powerful SPI firewall, the WL-370 protects
your computers against intruders and most known Internet attacks and also
provides safe VPN pass-through. With the incredible speed and QoS function
of 802.11n the WL-370 is ideal for media-centric applications like streaming
video, gaming, and VoIP telephony to run multiple media-intense data
streams through the network at the same time, with no degradation in
performance.

LAN settings
The LAN tab gives you the opportunity to change the IP settings of the WL-
370.
Click <Apply> at the bottom of this screen to save any changes.
IP address 192.168.0.1. It is the router’s LAN IP address (Your LAN clients
default gateway IP address).
IP Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 Specify a Subnet Mask for your LAN segment.
802.1d Spanning Tree is Disabled by default. If the 802.1d Spanning Tree
function is enabled, this router will use the spanning tree protocol to prevent
network loops.
DHCP Server Enabled by default. You can enable or disable the DHCP server.
When DHCP is disabled no ip-addresses are assigned to clients and you have to
E |3
use static ip-addresses. When DHCP server is enabled your computers will be
assigned an ip-address automatically until the lease time expires.
Lease Time Forever. In the Lease Time setting you can specify the time period
that the DHCP lends an IP address to your LAN clients. The DHCP will change
your LAN client’s IP address when this time threshold period is reached.
IP Address Pool You can select a particular IP address range for your DHCP
server to issue IP addresses to your LAN Clients.
Note: default IP range is 192.168.0.100 ~ 192.168.0.200. If you want
your PC(s) to have a static/fixed IP address, then you’ll have to choose
an IP address outside this IP address Pool
