5.2 Frequently Asked Questions
1. Where is the SOHO Router installed on the network?
Typically, SOHO Router is installed between Cable/DSL modem and LAN. Plug SOHO Router WAN port
into Cable/DSL modem’s Ethernet port. (refer to Appendix-C for connect cabling)
2. Does the WAN connection of SOHO Router support 100Mb Ethernet?
Yes, SOHO Router does support 10/100Mb Ethernet on its WAN port. Since SOHO Router WAN is an
auto-sensing 10/100 port, it is also compatible with 10Mb only WAN devices.
3. What is NAT (Network Address Translation) and what is it used for?
NAT translates multiple private IP address in LAN into one public address(in WAN) that is sent out to the
Internet. NAT has 2 functions:
It adds a level security since the IP address of a PC connected to the private LAN is never transmitted
on the Internet.
NAT allows SOHO Router to be used with low cost Internet accounts, such as DSL or cable modems,
where only one IP address is provided by ISP. Users can have many private addresses behind this
single address provided by ISP.
4. If all fails in the installation, what can I do for it?
Reset SOHO Router by holding down the reset button for at lest 5 seconds and reset your cable or DSL
modem by powering the unit off and then on.
5. What can I do if l lost connection with SOHO Router when I change the LAN subnet from
192.168.8.1 into 192.168.1.1 (or like others) ?
This problem is often caused by that your LAN client PC is no longer the same subnet address as SOHO
Router. The solution is just to release your LAN client PC’s IP address (like 192.168.8.17) and renew the IP
address from SOHO Router once again. (most likely, IP address become 192.168.1.17)
6. With which type of firewall is SOHO Router equipped?
SOHO Router uses NAT and TCP/IP stateful packet inspections.
