Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the AC2600 WiFi Router. This router is compliant with
802.11a/b/g/n/ac and up to 6 times faster than standard 802.11n based routers while still being
compatible with 802.11g & 802.11b devices. This router 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 800Mbps wireless transmission rate on 2.4GHz and 1750 Mbps wireless transmission rate on
5GHz, 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 router encodes all
wireless transmissions with WEP, WPA, or WPA2 encryption.
With the built-in DHCP Server & powerful SPI firewall, the router 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 router 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.

There are several connection types to choose from: Static IPv6, Autoconfiguration, 6RD and
Link-local only. If you are unsure of your connection method, please contact your IPv6 Internet
Service Provider.
Static IPv6 Mode
This mode is used when your ISP provides you with a set IPv6 addresses that does not change.
The IPv6 information is manually entered in your IPv6 configuration settings. You must enter
the IPv6 address, Subnet Prefix Length, Default Gateway, Primary DNS Server and Secondary
DNS Server. Your ISP provides you with all this information.
6RD Mode
In the 6RD mode, no additional configuration is necessary.

nodes on the same link. This mode enables IPv6-capable devices to communicate with each
other on the LAN side.
Configure your Router
Status
The System status section allows you to monitor the current status of your router, the UP time,
hardware information and serial number as well as firmware version information is displayed
here.
DHCP Server
The DHCP Server tab gives you the opportunity to change the IP settings of the router.
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: 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 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: One Week. 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. The 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
• Domain Name: You can specify a Domain Name for your LAN or just keep the default
(sitecom.router).
Device Status
View the router’s current configuration settings. Device Status displays the configuration
settings you’ve configured in the Internet Settings and WiFi Settings sections.

packets for N compliant wireless nodes. Highest to lowest data rate can be fixed.
• Channel Bandwidth: This is the range of frequencies that will be used.
• Preamble Type: The “Long Preamble” can provide better wireless LAN compatibility
while the “Short Preamble” can provide better wireless LAN performance.
• TX Power: The transmit power can be set to a bare minimum or maximum power for
better performance or power saving.
Remote Management
The remote management function allows you to designate a host in the Internet the ability to
configure the Broadband router from a remote site. Enter the designated host IP Address in the
Host IP Address field.
Host Address: This is the IP address of the host in the Internet that will have
