WEP is Wired Equivalent Privacy, a data privacy mechanism based on a 64-bit or 128-
bit shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11 standard.
What is a MAC Address?
The Media Access Control (MAC) address is a unique number assigned by the
manufacturer to any Ethernet networking device, such as a network adapter, that allows
the network to identify it at the hardware level. For all practical purposes, this number is
usually permanent. Unlike IP addresses, which can change every time a computer logs
onto the network, the MAC address of a device stays the same, making it a valuable
identifier for the network.
How do I reset the Router to default?
Press and hold the Reset button on the back panel until all the LED has been lightened
(for about ten seconds). This will reset the Router to its default settings.
How do I resolve issues with signal loss?
There is no way to know the exact range of your wireless network without testing. Every
obstacle placed between the Router and a wireless PC will create signal loss. Lead
glass, metal, concrete floors, water and walls will inhibit the signal and reduce range.
Start with the Router and your wireless PC in the same room and move it away in small
increments to determine the maximum range in your environment. You may also try
using different channels, as this may eliminate interference affecting only one channel.
I have excellent signal strength, but I cannot see my network.
WEP is probably enabled on the Router, but not on your wireless adapter (or vice
versa). Verify that the same WEP keys and levels (64 or 128) are being used on all
nodes of your wireless network.
How many channels/frequencies are available with the Router?
There are fourteen available channels, ranging from 1 to 14. For 802.11g we support 11
channels for North America, 13 for Europe (ETSI) and 14 for Japan.
Do the Corinex powerline products cause interference with other home
networking or powerline products?
No. The Corinex powerline products can co-exist with phone line and wireless
networking technologies.
How do the Instant Powerline products handle node addressing in the network?
The Corinex Powerline products adhere to standard Ethernet addressing protocols using
the destination and source of MAC addressing.
How can your technology be beneficial in general?
General benefits are inexpensiveness, fastness and reliably manageable installation.
How can your technology be beneficial for me as Internet provider?
Our technology lowers the costs, and adds manageability.
How can your technology be beneficial for me as Internet user?
Lower the cost, reach points where there is no other alternative.
In which frequency band operates your Powerline technology?
Our Powerline technology operates in 4-21 MHz spectrum using OFDM modulation.
Can I manage Powerline devices remotely?
Yes, you can manage all of our devices remotely by using Open Powerline Management
software (OPM) or you can use the Corinex Open Management for Hotels.
