1.

Power down your network devices.

2.

Locate an optimum location for the Router. The best place for the Router is usually at the center of your

wireless network, with line of sight to all of your mobile stations.

3.

Attach the antenna and fix its direction. Try to place the Router in a position that will best cover your wireless

network. Normally, the higher you place the antenna, the better the performance will be.

4.

Connect a standard Ethernet network cable to the Router’s Internet port. Then, connect the other end of the

Ethernet cable to your cable or DSL broadband modem.

Hardware Installation for Connection to Another Router

Before you install the Wireless-G Router for 3G/UMTS Broadband, you must change the default IP address of the

other router. This is mandatory because both routers may be set to the same IP address by default. If you do not

change the other router’s default IP address, then you may not be able to set up the Router.

First, make sure the Router is NOT connected to your network. Then follow these instructions:

1.

To access the other router’s web-based utility, launch Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, and enter the

other router’s default IP address,

192.168.1.1

, in the

Address

field. Then press

Enter

.

2.

A password request page will appear. Leave the

User Name

field blank. In the

Password

field, enter the

password you have set (the default password is

admin

). Then click the

OK

button.

3.

The first screen that appears will display the Setup tab. In the

Network Setup

section, there is a setting called

Local IP Address

, which is set to 192.168.1.1. Change this to

192.168.2.1

.

4.

Click the

Save Settings

button to save your change, and then exit the web-based utility.

5.

Power down your network devices. Now you will begin the hardware installation of Router.

6.

Locate an optimum location for the Router. The best place for the Router is usually at the center of your

wireless network, with line of sight to all of your mobile stations.

7.

Attach the antenna and fix its direction. Try to place the Router in a position that will best cover your

wireless network. Normally, the higher you place the antenna, the better the performance will be.

8.

Connect a standard Ethernet network cable to the Router’s Internet port. Then, connect the other end

of the Ethernet cable to one of the numbered Ethernet ports on your other router.

NOTE:

Steps 1-4 are instructions for a typical

Linksys router; however, if you are using a non-

Linksys router, refer to the other router’s

documentation for instructions on how to change its

local IP address to 192.168.2.1.

Placement Options

There are three ways to place the Router. The first way is to place it horizontally on a surface, so it sits on its four

rubber feet. The second way is to stand the Router vertically on a surface. The third way is to mount it on a wall.

The second and third options are explained in further detail below.

Stand Option

1.

Line up the center of the Router’s stand with the center of the Router’s labeled edge.

2.

Insert the Router into the stand.

If you want 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.”

If you want to configure the Router for broadband WAN service only, go to “Chapter 6: Setting up the

Wireless-G Router for Broadband WAN Service Only.”

If you want to configure the Router for broadband WAN and HSDPA/3G/UMTS or GPRS service, go to

“Chapter 7: Setting up the Wireless-G Router for Broadband WAN and HSDPA/3G/UMTS or GPRS Service.”
