Using a Wired/Wireless Router

A wireless/regular router connects several PCs and mobile devices to one internet line and enables the use of internet and the network.

A wireless/regular router has to be bought separately. Refer to the manual provided by the manufacturer for instructions.

Connecting a Wireless or Regular Router

If one internet line is used with a wired/wireless router and several devices are connected, this may result in a slower connection.

In case of a wireless LAN, it is recommended to change the network name and security settings for a more secure connection.

Network speed can differ according to operation environment and specifications.

  1. Connect the internet cable of the modem that was provided by your internet provider to the router's WAN port.

  2. Connect all devices (PC, IPTV, internet phone, etc.) with a LAN cable to LAN ports 1 to 4 of the router.

    The number of LAN ports can vary for each router model.

  3. Please refer to the manual provided by the router manufacturer for setup of the network and internet.

Tip:

Changing the wireless LAN security settings

  • If you are using WEP for security settings, you can improve your wireless LAN environment by changing it to WPA2/AES that provides better security.

    If WEP is used for security settings, the speed is limited to 54 Mbps.

  • Enter the wireless router's IP address (e.g. 192.168.0.1) in the address bar to go to the [Wireless Setup/Security] menu.

  • Change the security settings to WPA2/AES and save the settings.

    Right-click the [Network] icon on the right side of the taskbar and select [Network and Internet settings] > [Properties] to check the wireless network speed.
