Section 1 - Product Overview
• Faster Wireless Networking - The L7-N-R2000 provides up to 300Mbps* wireless connection with other
802.11n wireless clients. This capability allows users to participate in real-time activities online, such as
video streaming, online gaming, and real-time audio.
• Compatible with 802.11b and 802.11g Devices - The L7-N-R2000 is still fully compatible with the IEEE
802.11b and IEEE 802.11g standard, so it can connect with existing 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g PCI,
USB and Cardbus adapters.
• Advanced Firewall Features - The Web-based user interface displays a number of advanced network
management features including:
• Content Filtering - Easily applied content ltering based on MAC Address, URL, and/or
Domain Name.
• Filter Scheduling - These lters can be scheduled to be active on certain days or for a
duration of hours or minutes.
• Secure Multiple/Concurrent Sessions - The L7-N-R2000 can pass through VPN sessions. It
supports multiple and concurrent IPSec and PPTP sessions, so users behind the L7-N-R2000
can securely access corporate networks.
• User-friendly Setup Wizard - Through its easy-to-use Web-based user interface, the L7-N-R2000 lets
you control what information is accessible to those on the wireless network, whether from the Internet or
from your company’s server. Congure your router to your specic settings within minutes.
* Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g and Draft 802.11n specications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and
environmental factors, including volume of network trafc, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental
conditions will adversely affect wireless signal range.

Wireless Installation Considerations
The L7 Networks wireless router lets you access your network using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere
within the operating range of your wireless network. Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location
of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary
depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key
to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:
1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the L7 Networks router and other network devices to a
minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position
your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5 meters), at a
45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet
(14 meters) thick! Position devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead
of at an angle) for better reception.
3. Building Materials make a difference. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative effect on
range. Try to position access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through
drywall or open doorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water
(sh tanks), mirrors, le cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.
4. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that
generate RF noise.
5. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless products such as ceiling fans, lights, and
home security systems), your wireless connection may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make
sure your 2.4GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits
a signal even if the phone in not in use.

Section 2 - Installation
If you are connecting the router to BTU, please follow the steps below:
1. Place the router in an open and central location. Do not plug the power adapter into the router.
2. Turn the power off on your modem. If there is no on/off switch, then unplug the modem’s power adapter. Shut down
your computer.
3. Unplug the Ethernet cable (that connects your computer to your modem) from your computer and place it into the
WAN port on the router.
4. Plug an Ethernet cable LAN ports (1~3) on the router. Plug the other end into the Ethernet port on your computer.
5. Turn on or plug in your modem. Wait for the modem to boot (about 30 seconds).
6. Plug the power adapter to the router and connect to an outlet or power strip. Wait about 30 seconds for the router
to boot.
7. Turn on your computer.
8. Verify the link lights on the router. The power light, Internet light, WAN light, and the LAN light (the port that your
computer is plugged into) should be lit. If not, make sure your computer, modem, and router are powered on and
verify the cable connections are correct.
9. Skip to page 16 to congure your router.
