1 Safety Precautions Before operating GW-WR151N, read the following precaution information carefully:

Use the type of power that user manual marks. Use the power adapter that is packed within the device package. Pay attention to the power load of the outlet or the prolonged lines. An

overburden power outlet or damaged lines and plugs may cause electric shock or fire accident. Check the power cords regularly. If you find any damage, replace it at once.

Leave proper space for heat dissipation to avoid damage caused by device overheating. Heat dissipation holes enable the device to work normally. Do not cover heat dissipation holes.

Keep the device away from heat outlets, high temperature places, and direct sunlight.

Keep the device in dry places. Do not spill any liquid on this device. Do not connect the device to any PC or electronic product unless our

customer engineer or your broadband provider instructs you to do this, because any wrong connection may cause power or fire risks.

Do not place this device on an unstable surface.

21

Start IP(PC)/End IP(PC)

Set the start and end IP addresses to specify a pool of IP addresses to be assigned by the DHCP server. After you set Start IP and End IP, hosts in the LAN obtain IP addresses that are in the range of the start and end IP addresses.

Lease Time

The valid time for an IP address that is automatically assigned by the DHCP server to a host. The DHCP server does not assign the IP address to other hosts within the specified time.

Click Submit to save the settings.

6.3.2 WAN Configuration Choose Setup > WAN to display the WAN Configuration page. WAN (Wide Area Network) Settings are used to connect to your ISP (Internet Service Provider). The WAN settings are provided by your ISP.

If GW-WR151N is disconnected from the network because of external factors when you are using the Internet access service, the system attempts connection in an interval of the specified time (for example, 10 seconds) until the connection is established. If you pay for Internet access monthly, we recommend you to use this connection mode.

On Demand: If you select it, the system automatically establishes a connection when a network access request from the LAN is received. If no network access request is sent from the LAN within the specified time of Idle Timeout, the system automatically interrupts the connection. If you pay for Internet access by time, you are recommended to use this connection mode, which effectively saves the expense of Internet access.
