Wireless Networking
To setup Wireless networking you must select the Wireless option in the
Advanced Setup section.
1. To create a wireless network, the Router and wireless PCs must have the
same SSID and encryption settings. The default wireless settings for the
Router are shown below:
•

The SSID is the name given to your wireless LAN. Only PCs with the
same SSID as the Router can connect to the wireless LAN.

To set up your wireless network, set the encryption to off in both the
Router and the wireless PC. Wireless encryption can be set up later,
after you have established a wireless network.

The Router will automatically select a clear wireless channel. If there
are no other wireless networks in the area, the Router will default to
channel 6. The wireless PCs will automatically scan the channels to
detect which channel the Router is using.
If this is your only wireless network, then you can use the Router's default
settings. Now set your wireless PC to have the same SSID and encryption
settings as the Router. The wireless PCs must also be set to use
infrastructure mode.
2. If your computer has both a wired and wireless connection installed, then
you must ensure that only one type is used at a time, to connect to the
LAN. To use the wireless connection, unplug the wired Ethernet cable and
reboot the PC.
3. Once you have setup the same SSID and Encryption in the Router and
wireless PC, open a browser and try to connect to www.smc.com. If you can
access the internet, then you have successfully set up your wireless LAN.
4. SMC recommends that you enable wireless encryption to improve the
security of your wireless network. Note that if you change the wireless
settings (e.g. SSID or WEP) of your Router from a wireless PC, then you
may lose contact with your Router. To re-establish the wireless connection,
change the wireless settings of your PC to be the same as the Router.

Thank you for choosing the SMC Barricade
TM
g Wireless Broadband Router. This
Quick Installation Guide will enable you to have your new router up and running
in a few minutes. Please complete each stage of these easy to follow instructions.
The position of your Router is important to its wireless
performance. The Router should be located in a
central position relative to the wireless PCs that will
connect to it. A suitable location might be on a high
shelf or a similar position that allows good wireless
coverage from the Router to the wireless PCs.
To meet the FCC wireless radiation exposure
regulations, the Router should be located in a position
to maintain a minimum distance of 20cm (8 inches)
from any personnel.
Connect all of the computers that you want to share
on your internet connection to your router. During
the initial setup, SMC recommend that the Router is
configured from a wired Ethernet PC as shown in the
diagram.
To keep the high-frequency ADSL signals from
interfering with telephone calls, each phone must be
connected to the phone-line through a splitter (also
known as and ADSL microfilter). The ADSL connection
of the router does not require to be filtered as the
frequencies produced by telephones do not interfere
with the ADSL connection.
