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.
