FAQs

No, you can't. The ADN-4000v2 equips with two dipped antennas inside the device.

There is a RESET BUTTON on the real panel of the device. To restore factory default settings, keep the device powered on and push a paper clip into the hole. Press down the button over 5 seconds and then release it. After resetting, the username and password will be restored to default settings admin and admin.

No, you can't. There are different hardware control codes inside these two versions. Each firmware can be used only for each model. Please double check the version before upgrading.

You can establish a IPSec VPN tunnel between ADW-4401v4 and VRT-311S/401. It is easy to configure and share the resource between two-sites through a secure and safe connection.
You can configure your devices as below example.
In this example, 2 LANs are connected via IPSec VPN. The subnet of LAN-A is 203.67.31.0/24 and LAN-B is 192.168.0.0/24.

Network Topology


Note
• The LANs MUST use different IP address ranges.
• Both endpoints have fixed WAN (Internet) IP addresses

Site A : IPSec Settings of ADW-4401v4
Step 1.Select “Enable” and click “Apply” to enable the VPN, it needs to take several minutes.
Step 2.Enter a Name for this connection.
Step 3.Enter the Local public IP as “203.67.54.208”.
Step 4.Enter the Remote public IP as “210.66.155.78”. (VRT-311S/401 WAN IP)
Step 5.Enter the Local private IP as “203.67.31.0/24”.
Step 6.Enter the Remote private IP as “192.168.0.0/24”. (Site B Subnet)
Step 7.Enter the PSK Key as “1234567890”, it must match with VRT-311S/401.
Step 8.Click “Add” to add this VPN connection.
Step 9.Click “listen” to wait remote site for connection.


Site B : IPSec Settings of VRT-311S/401
Configure VRT-311S/401 VPN rule as the following image:


You will see the successfully message if the settings of two sites are properly.
And now status of the IPSec connection is up! The clients on Site A and Site B can access the resource by each other.


Note: When you reboot the ADW-4401v4, the IPSec function will disable. Please enable it again and re-connect the VPN connection by above steps.

By default configuration of Planet wireless products, the wireless security is disabled. If you would like to make your network environment stay is safe and secure, there are four ways as following can help you to secure your network environment.
1.SSID: Disable SSID, and other wireless network client wont able to search
　your wireless AP or router, but this way is not the best for wireless security.
2.WEP key: this is the original wireless encryption, it provides 64/128-bits
　encryption key, so you can follow your demand to setup this function.
　After finished setup, you will need to type the same WEP key on your
　wireless network client, so the client can connect to router.
3.WPA-PSK/WPA-PSK2: this encryption is more secure than WEP key,
　you need to type 8-63 ASCII characters or 64 hexadecimal characters as
　the "Pre-Shared Key".
　After finished setup, you will need to type the same WEP key on your
　wireless network client,so the client can connect to router.
4.Wireless MAC Filter: You can fill in the MAC address of your wireless
　client,and select "deny" or "allow" to control your wireless network.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is the simplest way to build connection between wireless network clients and the router, and there are two types of WPS: Push-Button Configuration (PBC), and PIN code.
You don't have to select encryption mode and input a long encryption pass phrase every time when you need to setup a wireless client, you only have to press a button on wireless network client and the router, and then WPS will do the setup for you.

802.11n is a draft high-speed wireless standard. In addition to throughput, 802.11n will significantly enhance the reliability and range of existing 802.11 networks.
The standard defines procedures by which throughputs greater than 100Mbps and significant range improvements also are possible. Some of the important features that are included in current 802.11n draft are multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), channel bonding and packet aggregation.
The MIMO technology uses several antennas to move multiple data streams from one place to another. Instead of sending and receiving a single stream of data, MIMO can simultaneously transmit three streams of data and receive two. This allows more data to be transmitted in the same period of time.
The IEEE 802.11n not only extends the range, or the distance over which data can be transmitted, but also increases the amount of data that can be transmitted.
