Restoring factory defaults will reset the Telstra Ultimate Gateway to its factory default configuration. Occasions may present
themselves where you need to restore the factory defaults on your Telstra Ultimate Gateway such as:
You have lost your username and password and are unable to login to the web configuration page;
You have purchased your Telstra Ultimate Gateway from someone else and need to reconfigure the device to work
with your Next G service;
You are asked to perform a factory reset by support staff.
In order to restore your Telstra Ultimate Gateway to its factory default settings, please follow these steps:
Ensure that your Telstra Ultimate Gateway Router is powered on (for at least 10 seconds);
Use a paper clip or a pencil tip to depress the reset button for ten seconds and release. At this point, the reset is in
progress. Do not power off the unit at this point.
When the indicator lights return to steady blue, the reset is complete. The default settings are now restored. The entire
process takes about 45 seconds to complete.
Once you have reset your Telstra Ultimate Gateway Router to its default settings you will be able to access the
device’s configuration web interface using

Safety and Product Care
With reference to unpacking, installation, use and maintenance of your electronic device, the following basic guidelines are
recommended:

laundry tub, or near a swimming pool. Also, do not expose the equipment to rain or damp areas (e.g. a wet basement).
Do not connect the power supply cord on elevated surfaces. Allow it to lie freely. There should be no obstructions in its
path and no heavy items should be placed on the cord. In addition, do not walk on, step on or mistreat the cord.
To safeguard the equipment against overheating, make sure that all openings in the unit that offer exposure to air are
unobstructed.
WARNING
Disconnect the power line from the device before servicing.

Installation and Configuration of
the 3G42WT
Placement of your 3G42WT
The wireless connection between your 3G42WT and your Wi-Fi devices will be stronger the closer your connected devices are to
your 3G42WT. Your wireless connection and performance will degrade as the distance between your 3G42WT and connected
devices increases. This may or may not be directly noticeable, and is greatly affected by the individual installation environment.
If you have concerns about your network’s performance that might be related to range or obstruction factors, try moving the
computer to a position between three to five meters from the 3G42WT in order to see if distance is the problem.
Please note: While some of the items listed below can affect network performance, they will not prohibit your wireless
network from functioning; if you are concerned that your network is not operating at its maximum effectiveness, this
checklist may help.
If you experience difficulties connecting wirelessly between your Wi-Fi Devices and your 3G42WT, please try the following steps:
In multi-storey homes, place the 3G42WT on a floor that is as close to the centre of the home as possible. This may
mean placing the 3G42WT on an upper floor.
Try not to place the 3G42WT near a cordless telephone that operates at the same radio frequency as the 3G42WT
(2.4GHz).
Avoid obstacles and interference
Avoid placing your 3G42WT near devices that may emit radio “noise,” such as microwave ovens. Dense objects that can inhibit
wireless communication include:
Refrigerators
Washers and/or dryers
Metal cabinets
Large aquariums
Metallic-based, UV-tinted windows
If your wireless signal seems weak in some spots, make sure that objects such as those listed above are not blocking
the signal’s path (between your devices and the 3G42WT).
Cordless Phones
If the performance of your wireless network is impaired after considering the above issues, and you have a cordless phone:
Try moving cordless phones away from your 3G42WT and your wireless-enabled computers.
Unplug and remove the battery from any cordless phone that operates on the 2.4GHz band (check manufacturer’s
information). If this fixes the problem, your phone may be interfering with the 3G42WT.
If your phone supports channel selection, change the channel on the phone to the farthest channel from your wireless
network. For example, change the phone to channel 1 and move your 3G42WT to channel 11. See your phone’s user
manual for detailed instructions.
If necessary, consider switching to a 900MHz or 5GHz cordless phone.
Choose the “Quietest” Channel for your Wireless Network
In locations where homes or offices are close together, such as apartment buildings or office complexes, there may be wireless
networks nearby that can conflict with your wireless network. Use the Site Survey capabilities found in the Wireless Utility of your
wireless adapter to locate any other wireless networks that are available (see your wireless adapter’s user manual), and switch your
Router and computers to a channel as far away from other networks as possible.
Experiment with more than one of the available channels, in order to find the clearest connection and avoid interference from
neighbouring cordless phones or other wireless devices.
