7. What is VPN?
VPN stands for “Virtual Private Networking.”
VPN creates a “tunnel” through an existing
Internet connection using PPTP (Point-to-Point
Tunneling Protocol) or IPSec (IP Security)
protocols with various encryption schemes
including Microsoft Challenge Handshake
Authentication Protocol (MS-CHAP).
This feature allows you to use your existing
Internet connection to connect to a remote site
with added security.
8. What can I do if my Ethernet cable does
not work properly?
First, ensure that there is a solid cable
connection between the Ethernet port on the
N3G005W Wireless Router, and your NIC
(Network Interface Card).
Second, ensure that the settings on your NIC
adapter are “Enabled,” and set to accept an
IP address from the DHCP (Please refer to
Computer Hardware Configuration on page 9
for additional information).
If all settings appear to be correct, ensure
that you are not using a crossover Ethernet
cable. Although the N3G005W Wireless Router
is MDI/MDIX compatible, not all NIC are.
Therefore, it is recommended that you use a
straight through Ethernet cable when possible.
