W±reless-G Router for 3G/UMTS Broadband
Chapter 1:
Product Overv±ew
Thank you for choosing the Linksys Wireless-G Router
for 3G/UMTS Broadband. The Wireless-G Router for 3G/
UMTS Broadband, lets you access the Internet through
either your HSDPA/3G/UMTS or GPRS service (requires a
Vodafone Mobile Connect HSDPA/3G/UMTS data card,
available separately), or you can use a cable or DSL modem
for broadband service. Plus, this access can be shared over
the four switched ports or via the wireless broadcast at up
to 54Mbps for Wireless-G or up to 11Mbps for Wireless-B.
A variety of security features help to protect your data
and your privacy while online. Security features include
WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) security, a Stateful Packet
Inspection (SPI) firewall, and NAT technology. Configuring
the Router is easy using the Setup Wizard or through the
provided browser-based utility.
Top Panel
If you have a Vodafone data card, use the PC Card slot.
If you have a Vodafone USB adapter, use one of the USB
ports.
NOTE:
The Router supports a single mobile
broadband device. Connect either a data card
or a USB adapter—do not connect both at the
same time.
3G/UMTS USB Ports
Insert the Vodafone
Mobile Connect HSDPA/3G/UMTS data card
(available separately) into this port if the
Router will connect to a HSDPA/3G/UMTS or
GPRS service.
Mob±le PC Card Slot
If the Router will
connect to a mobile broadband service, insert
the mobile broadband data card (available
separately) into this slot. After the data card
is inserted, the eject button will pop up. To
remove the data card, press the eject button.
Mob±le Connect/D±sconnect Button
Press
this button to connect to and disconnect from
the mobile network. (You can also use the
Basic Setup
screen of the Router’s web-based
utility.)
Side Panel
USB Port
Reserved for future use.
Power
(Green) The Power LED lights up and
stays on while the Router is powered on.
Ethernet 1-²
(Green) These numbered LEDs,
corresponding with the numbered ports on the
Router’s back panel, serve two purposes. If the
LED is continuously lit, the Router is successfully
connected to a device through that port. It
flashes to indicate network activity over that
port.
W±reless
(Green) The Wireless LED lights up
when the wireless feature is enabled. It flashes
when the Router is actively sending or receiving
data over the wireless network.
MODEM
Modem Internet
(Green) The Modem LED
lights up and stays on when there is a connection
made through the Modem port. It flashes to
indicate network activity over the Modem port.
3G/UMTS
3G/UMTS Internet
(Blue/Green) The 3G/UMTS
LED flashes as the Router connects to the mobile
network. When the LED stops flashing and
stays on, then the connection is active. When
the LED is blue, a 3G/UTMS/HSDPA connection
has been established. When the LED is green, a
GPRS connection has been established.
If the LED flashes quickly, the Router is not
connected to the mobile network. Before
pressing
the
Mobile
Connect/Disconnect
button, make sure the mobile broadband data
card or USB adapter is already installed.
