Verifying the Hardware

Installation

To verify the hardware installation, complete the following tasks:

•Check the LED states, as described in Getting to Know the WRV210,

page 1.

•If the LED does not show the expected status, check the cable

connections.

NOTE If you need help resolving a problem, visit the Cisco Small

Business Support Community at www.cisco.com/go/

smallbizsupport. For technical documentation and other links, see

Where to Go From Here, page 14.

Getting Started with the

Configuration

The following instructions explain how to set up the Internet connection,

configure the wireless network, and secure the wireless network.

Setting Up the Internet Connection

Before you begin, make sure that you have the setup information for the

specific type of Internet connection for your Internet Service Provider

(ISP). The installation technician from the ISP should have provided this

information when installing the broadband connection. If not, contact your

ISP to request the settings.

STEP 1Using one of the PCs that you previously connected to the router,

start your web browser.

NOTE You must complete the initial installation from a PC that is

physically connected to the router. You cannot configure the

router from a PC that is connected wirelessly.

Cisco Small Business WRV210 Quick Start Guide 7

STEP 2To connect to the web-based Configuration Utility, enter the

router’s default LAN IP address in the browser’s Address bar:

http://192.168.1.1

A password request prompt appears.

STEP 3Enter the following user name and password, and then click OK.

•User name: admin

•Password: admin

NOTE For added security, you should later set a new administrator

password by using the Administration > Management page in

the web-based Configuration Utility.

The web-based Configuration Utility appears, displaying the Basic

Setup page.

STEP 4In the Internet Setup section, choose the Internet Connection

Type that was specified by your ISP:

• Automatic Configuration - DHCP: This type of connection

allows your router to obtain an IP address dynamically from

your ISP’s network.

•StaticIP:This type of connection requires that your ISP

assigned a fixed IP address to your account.

• PPPoE: This type of connection requires a login for each

Internet connection.

• PPTP: This type of connection is used in Europe only.

•L2TP:This type of connection is used mostly in Europe.

•HeartBeatSignal:This type of connection is used in Australia.

STEP 5Enter the information that your ISP provided. The fields vary,

depending on the selected connection type.

• IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway: Enter the

information that the ISP provided for your fixed IP address.

• Primary DNS and Secondary DNS: Enter the IP address of at

least one Domain Name System (DNS) server for your ISP.

8 Cisco Small Business WRV210 Quick Start Guide

• Username and Password: Enter the login information for your

ISP account.

• PPTP Server or Authentication Server: Enter the server IP

address or name, as provided by your ISP.

• Host Name and Domain Name: Complete these fields only if

required by your ISP (often required by cable ISPs).

• Connect on Demand and Max Idle Time: Choose this option to

automatically disconnect from the Internet if the connection is

idle for the specified number of seconds. This option is helpful

if you are billed based on the amount of connection time.

• Keep Alive: Choose this option to remain connected to the

Internet regardless of the level of activity.

STEP 6When you are finished entering the Internet connection settings,

click Save to save the changes.

STEP 7To test the Internet connection, start a web browser on any

connected computer and enter a valid website address, such as

www.cisco.com.

Configuring the Wireless Network

STEP 1To configure the router for the wireless network, click Wireless >

Basic Wireless Settings in the navigation tree.

STEP 2From the Wireless Network Mode drop-down list, choose the

appropriate mode for your network devices:

•Mixed:Supports Wireless-G and Wireless-B devices

•G-Only:Supports only Wireless-G devices

•B-Only:Supports only Wireless-B devices

• Disable: Disables wireless networking

STEP 3Enter the following information in the SSID table to configure up to

four wireless networks:

• Wireless Network Name (SSID): Enter a name for your

network to identify it to the wireless devices that connect to the

router.

•TXRateLimitation:Keep the default value for the transmission

rate.

Cisco Small Business WRV210 Quick Start Guide 9

• SSID Broadcast: Click Enabled to allow all wireless devices in

range to see the SSID for this wireless network. Click Disabled

for increased privacy. With this feature disabled, your users will

need to know the SSID in order to configure their wireless

connections, since the SSID will not appear automatically when

they scan the area for available networks.

•WMM:Check this box to enable Wi-Fi Multimedia. This feature

provides basic prioritization of data packets to support voice

and video applications.

STEP 4From the drop-down list, choose the Wireless Channel to be used

by the wireless network devices. In most cases, the default

selection should be sufficient, but you may need to change this

setting if there is interference from other wireless networks in the

area.

NOTE During the initial configuration, ignore the Wireless LAN

Schedule section of this page. Later, if needed, you can

configure a schedule to enable or disable each wireless

network during specified days and times.

STEP 5When you are finished entering the wireless network settings, click

Save to apply the changes.

Securing the Wireless Network

STEP 1To choose the security options for your network, click Wireless >

Wireless Security in the navigation tree.

STEP 2From the Select SSID drop-down list, choose the SSID that you

want to configure. You will need to repeat this procedure for each

SSID that you enabled on the Basic Wireless Settings page.

STEP 3Choose the Security Mode. Cisco recommends using the highest

level of security that is supported by your network devices.

Choose from the following options:

•WEP:Weak security with a basic encryption method that is not

as secure as WPA. WEP may be required if your network

devices do not support WPA.
