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.

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.
