Preface
Your Etisalat Travel Router Congratulations on the purchase of your Etisalat Travel Router.
Etisalat’s Travel Router is a versatile and portable solution
for wireless mobile broadband for the home, office or on
the road. This device creates an instant Wireless N hotspot
allowing you to share an Internet connection across
multiple devices like smart phones, gaming consoles or other
computers. With wireless data speeds of up to 150Mbps it is
300% faster than Wireless G technology.
Connection to the Internet is achieved through either
a 3G USB modem or via a fixed line (DSL/Cable/Satellite)
connection to the routers WAN port. The integrated Lithium-
Ion battery delivers networking power for up to 5 hours in
one power-charge-cycle, which means you can set up your
own Wireless network without searching for a power point.
Featuring automatic Internet failover, this device will keep
you connected. In case the DSL/Cable/Satellite connection
drops out, it activates the 3G connection. The WAN port
can also be configured optionally as a LAN port for a wired
connection to a network client.
The device also features advanced security such as VPN pass-
through, a full complement of wireless security options and a
built in firewall. The setup is simple via a web browser interface.
The Etisalat Travel Router is compatible with Mac OS X,
Windows OS and Linux.

Etisalat Travel Router USER GUIDE
Placement
PLACEMENT
Just like your mobile phone, a 3G USB Modem’s location will affect its signal strength to
the 3G Mobile Base Station (Cell Tower). The data speed achievable from a 3G USB modem
is relative to this signal strength, which is affected by many environmental factors. Please
keep in mind that the 3G USB Modem will need adequate signal strength in order to provide
Internet connectivity whilst choosing a location to place your Travel Router.
Similarly to the 3G USB Modem, the wireless connection between the Router and your
Wi-Fi devices will be stronger the closer your connected devices are to your Router. Your
wireless connection and performance will degrade as the distance between your Router
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 Router in order to see if distance is the problem. If difficulties persist even at
close range, please contact Etisalat Technical Support.
Note: While some of the items listed 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,
please contact Etisalat Technical Support.
Router Placement
Place your Router as close as possible to the centre of your wireless network
devices. To achieve the best wireless network coverage for your “wireless clients”
(i.e., computers with built-in or USB Wireless Adapters, Laptops with built-in Wireless,
Wireless PDA / iPhone, etc):
•In multi-storey homes, place the Router on a floor that is as close to the centre of the
home as possible. This may mean placing the Router on an upper floor.
•Avoid placing the Router near a cordless telephone that operates at the same radio
frequency (2.4GHz).
Avoid obstacles and interference
Avoid placing your Router 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 these are
not blocking the signal’s path (between your devices and the Router).

Placement
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 Travel Router 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 Wi-Fi Router.
•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 Travel Router to channel 11. See your phones 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.

Network and System Requirements
Before continuing with the installation of your Travel Router,
please confirm that you comply with the minimum system
requirements below.
•Compatible 3G USB Modem with an Active SIM/Data
Service if you want to use 3G Broadband service.
Note: Subject to terms and conditions from your 3G Mobile Broadband
Service Provider.
•Computer with Windows, Macintosh, or Linux-based
operating systems with a working Ethernet network
adapter with TCP/IP Protocol installed.
•A web browser such as Internet Explorer, Netscape
Navigator, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari etc.
Wireless Computer System Requirements
•Computer with a working IEEE 802.11b, 802.11g or
802.11n wireless adapter.
Modem Requirements
In order to use the WAN Ethernet port for Internet
connectivity your fixed line service (Cable/xDSL/Satellite)
modem must be equipped with an RJ45 Ethernet port. Many
modems have both an RJ45 Ethernet port and a USB port.
If you have a modem with both Ethernet and USB, and are
using the USB port at this time, you will be instructed to use
the RJ45 Ethernet port during the installation procedure. If
your modem only has a USB port, you can request a different
type of modem from your Internet Service Provider, or you
can purchase a modem that has an RJ45 Ethernet port on it.

Advanced Routing
This page allows you to configure static and dynamic routing rules for your Travel Router.
ADVANCED ROUTING – STATIC
Static Routing allows computers that are connected to your Travel Router to communicate
with computers on another LAN segment which are connected to it via another router. To
set a rule, you need to specify the following:
•Destination
•Netmask (if applicable - select the “Net” range as the route type)
•Gateway
•Interface
ADVANCED ROUTING – DYNAMIC
Dynamic Routing uses the RIP protocol to allow the Travel Router to adapt to changes in
the network. RIP enables the device to determine the best route for each packet based on
the “hop count” or number of hops between Source and Destination. To enable Dynamic
Routing, select Enable from the dropbox and click Apply.
