Wireless-G Router for 3G/UMTS Broadband

Chapter 7: Setting up the Wireless-G Router for Broadband

WAN and HSDPA/3G/UMTS or GPRS Service

Overview

This chapter covers the steps for configuring the Router for broadband WAN and HSDPA/3G/UMTS or GPRS

service. To configure the Router for HSDPA/3G/UMTS or GPRS service only, go to “Chapter 5: Setting up the

Wireless-G Router for HSDPA/3G/UMTS or GPRS Service.” To configure the Router for broadband WAN service

only, go to “Chapter 6: Setting up the Wireless-G Router for Broadband WAN Service Only.”

Before You Begin

Before you begin, make sure that you have the following:

•

your Vodafone Mobile Connect Card

•

the SIM card for your Vodafone Mobile Connect Card

•

your Vodafone Mobile Connect Card Services information

•

broadband modem

•

settings for your broadband Internet connection type.

The information about your Vodafone Mobile Connect Card was included with your Vodafone Mobile Connect Card

package. If you do not have this information, contact Vodafone Customer Service (refer to “Appendix J: Contact

Information” for Vodafone contact information).

IMPORTANT:

If you do NOT have your Vodafone Mobile Connect Card and SIM card, you cannot

configure the Router for HSDPA/3G/UMTS or GPRS service. However, you can configure the

Router for broadband WAN service; for instructions, proceed to “Chapter 6: Setting up the

Wireless-G Router for Broadband WAN Service Only.”

IMPORTANT:

If you do NOT have broadband WAN service, then you cannot configure the Router

for broadband WAN service. However, you can configure the Router for HSDPA/3G/UMTS or

GPRS service; for instructions, proceed to “Chapter 5: Setting up the Wireless-G Router for

HSDPA/3G/UMTS or GPRS Service.”
