Page 7: Setting The Wireless Network
You could compare a wireless network to radio signals. However, the range of a wireless network at home is not as big. Your home wireless network often has a range of 20 to 30 metres. This means that neighbours and passers-by too can make use of your network. As a result they can get away with surfing on your Internet connection, and they may gain access to your shared folders and files on your network. - Page 8 We recommend securing the wireless part of the router. How to do this is described further down in this manual. Once secured, the network will show as “Sweex LW050v2” with a message below detailing “Security-enabled wireless network”. When connecting to this secured network, you will be prompted for the “Network key”.
- Page 9 The default router IP address is: 192.168.50.1 An IP address is a unique number required by each network device, including a computer or router, in order to be active within that network. Without an IP address you are unable to make connections within a network. Type the router IP address in the browser address bar. You can now access the router.

- Page 19 The built-in firewall in this router cannot be disabled. However, ports can be opened for programmes and games which require this. We recommend using a fixed IP address for computers for which ports are opened. This is to ensure that these computers always use the same IP address as registered in the router.
- Page 20 English version In some instances, or when a game console is used, you may opt to place a computer or game console entirely outside the firewall. This can be done in the so-called “demilitarized zone” (“DMZ”). This option can be found in the main screen of the port settings (“Port Forwarding”) under (“Advanced”.) Note however, you no longer take advantage of the protection offered by the firewall of the router.
