Connecting to the Internet

If the router has been connected and configured correctly, the computers which are
connected to the router (also via a wireless connection) should now be able to
connect to the Internet.
In most cases, the connection to the Internet will be made in the same way as it
would have been made without a router. A short description is given below of how to
connect to the Internet.

Note:

If Internet Explorer is configured to connect to the Internet using a dial-
up connection, the connection will not be made. See chapter 6.1 for
instructions on how to turn this off.

1. 

Make sure the computer is turned on.

2. 

Click on ‘Start – Programs – Internet Explorer’.

3. 

Internet Explorer will be opened.

4. 

You are now connected to the Internet.

Note:

If you are unable to make a connection, see the “INTERNET
SHARING” instruction manual. This instruction manual contains most
aspects of sharing an Internet connection and networks. A step-by-
step explanation is given of how to make a network connection and
how to share your Internet connection.

Wireless connection security

A wireless connection does not stop at your front door. A wireless connection has
the following problems:

-

 

Neighbours or passers-by can access the network and also access any
computers which are connected to the network.

-

 

The information which is sent over the network can be intercepted, including
passwords, etc.

-

 

Outsiders can connect to the Internet via the network and hack other
computers or send spam (junk mail), while the owner of the network will get
the blame.

Therefore, it is necessary to enable security. This router has a WEP key function.
This allows you to assign a number to your router and only the people who know this
number are able to make a wireless connection. Carry out the following to secure
your wireless connection.
1. 

Open the router configuration menu as described in chapter 6.2.

2. 

The router’s logon screen will appear (see figure 6). Enter the password that
you gave in chapter 6.3.

3. 

The router configuration menu will be opened. Figure 7 will appear.

4. 

Select the ‘Wireless’ option (left-hand side of the window).

5. 

A new window will appear which has the ‘Basic’, ‘WEP’ and ‘Advanced’
buttons at the top.

6. 

Click on 'Advanced'. A new window will appear which includes some
information.

7. 

Select ‘Shared Key’ for ‘Authentication Type’.

8. 

Click on the ‘Apply’ button at the bottom of the window.

9. 

A new window will appear which displays the message “The device is
restarting…”.

10. 

Wait 10 seconds until the diagnosis LED (B, figure 1) is no longer lit. Next,
click on ‘Back’.

11. 

You will now return to the ‘Advanced’ window.
