Connections

A cable modem may support only Ethernet connection, only USB connection, or both types of connections.

Cable modem with only USB Connection

Your TrueMobile 2300 router is designed to function with only Ethernet connection on its Broadband interface. If your cable

modem supports only USB connection, you need to replace it with a model with at least one Ethernet connection.

Cable modem with both USB and Ethernet Connections

If your cable modem supports both USB and Ethernet connections, but is connected to your computer via USB cable, follow

the instructions below to switch to the Ethernet connection.

1. Make sure that your cable modem is powered off.

2. Disconnect the USB cable from your computer and the cable modem.

3. Connect one end of an standard Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port of the Ethernet card on your computer

4. Insert the other end of the cable into the Ethernet port on your cable modem.

Configuring Your Router for the Existing Network

If you have an existing network, chances are you have already configured network services on the network. In this case, you

would use the router as a pure Access Point to extend the range of your network by allowing more attachment of wireless and

wired computers. You

MUST

also turn off the DHCP server on the router if there is a DHCP server running to avoid IP

address conflict.

To configure the router as an Access Point with the DHCP server disabled:

1. Open your web browser and go to

http://my.router

, (or the default address

.)

2. Click the

Basic Settings

tab on the top navigation bar.

3. Select

Access Point

Mode.

4. Click the

Next

button.

5. Click

OK

to dismiss the DHCP disabled message box (The DHCP server will be disabled in Access Point Mode by

default).

6. Click the

Advanced Settings

tab on the top navigation bar.

7. Click the

Advanced IP Settings

tab on the left navigation bar.

8. Assign an IP address to the Wireless Broadband Router.

NOTE: The IP address should be reserved by the DHCP server. The Wireless Broadband Router cannot act as a

DHCP client, therefore, it needs a static IP address for its LAN interface.

9. Click the

Submit

button.

10. Click the

Save & Restart

button.

11. Note the status bar at the bottom of the screen.

12. While the Wireless Broadband Router resets, the

Power

light on the front of the unit blinks.

13. When your web browser returns to the main page of the Wireless Broadband Route, the device has successfully

restarted with the new settings.

NOTE:

The main page may not return if you have changed IP address of the router in Step 8. To view the main

page, type the new IP address of the router in the web browser to access it.

14. Plug an Ethernet cable from the existing local network into any

LAN

port on the Wireless Broadband Router.
