Hardware Installation for Connection to An Existing Router

Now that the hardware installation is complete, proceed to “Chapter 5: Configuring the Wireless-G

Broadband Router with 2 Phone Ports,” for directions on how to configure the Router.

Hardware Installation for Connection to An Existing Router

Your existing Router may have the same default IP address (192.168.0.1) as your new T-Mobile router. If this is

the case, the T-Mobile router’s IP address will change to 192.168.24.1.

1.

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

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.

Fix the direction of the antennas. 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 T-Mobile router’s Internet port. Then, connect the other end

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

5.

Decide which network computers or Ethernet devices you want to connect to the Router.

Placement Options

Wireless-G Broadband Router with 2 Phone Ports

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.

Another option is to install the stand onto the bottom of the Router, so the Router is in an upright position. Make sure to place

the Router’s bottom edge of the Cisco logo in between the stand’s prongs until tight. The third way is to mount it on a wall.This

option uses the Router’s four wall-mount slots on its bottom panel. The distance between two adjacent slots is 60 mm (2.36

inches).

To use the wall-mount option, follow these instructions:

1.

Make sure you have four screws that are size #4—this indicates a diameter measurement of 2.845 mm (0.112 inches).

2.

Determine where you want to mount the Router.

3.

Drill four holes into the wall. Make sure adjacent holes are 60 mm (2.36 inches) apart.

4.

Insert a screw into each hole, and leave 5 mm (0.2 inches) of its head exposed.

5.

Maneuver the Router so the wall-mount slots line up with the four screws.

6.

Place the wall-mount slots over the screws and slide the Router down until the screws fit snugly into the wall-mount

slots.

Proceed to

“Chapter 5: Configuring the Wireless-G Broadband Router with 2 Phone Ports” for directions

on how to configure the Router.

SIM Card Installation

Two SIM cards are required for a 2-line configuration.

To install a SIM card, follow these steps:

1.

Slide the SIM card cover down, then lift off.

2.

Gently slide up the SIM card holder. Then from the bottom side, carefully lift up the SIM card holder. Do not lift

the holder until it is correctly in place or it could break.

3.

Position the SIM card with the gold metal side up and towards the card slot opening. Carefully insert the SIM

card into the slot until it lines up with the bottom edge of the top piece of the holder and before it hits the

bottom piece of the holder or the SIM card or holder could break.

4.

Fold down the SIM card holder and slide down into place.

5.

Replace the SIM card cover. You might need to push it hard to lock it in place.
