Overview
Introduction
This manual provides information related to the installation, operation, and utilisation of the 3G29WN2.
Target Users
The individual reading this manual is presumed to have a basic understanding of telecommunications terminology and concepts.
Prerequisites
Before continuing with the installation of your 3G29WN2, please confirm that you comply with the minimum system requirements
below.
ADSL Requirement:
An activated ADSL broadband connection to an ISP (Internet Service Provider)
ADSL In-Line Splitter/Filter (Please refer to “Do I need a micro filter?” for more information)
Note: Connection at ADSL2 or 2+ rates depends on the service offered by your ISP; the device will operate at standard ADSL rates in the absence of the 2 or 2+ service.
Consult your ISP for details.
3G Requirement:
An activated 3G SIM Card
PC Requirement:
A Web Browser such as Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari etc.
Computer with Windows, Macintosh, or Linux-based operating systems with a working Ethernet adapter with TCP/IP
Protocol installed.
Wireless Computer System Requirements:
oComputer with a working 802.11b, 802.11g or 802.11n wireless adapter.
Do I need a micro filter?
Micro filters are used to prevent interference between phones and fax machines, and your ADSL service. If your ADSL-enabled
phone line is being used with any equipment other than your ADSL Modem then you will need to use one Micro filter for each phone
device in use. Telephones and/or facsimiles in other rooms that are using the same line will also require Microfilters. A suitable Micro
filter can be purchased from NetComm or your Service Provider, if required.

Safety and Product Care
With reference to unpacking, installation, use and maintenance of your electronic device, the following basic guidelines are
recommended:
To avoid fire or shock hazard do not use or install this product near water. For example, do not install near a bathtub,
kitchen sink, 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 the power cord to lie freely. There should be no
obstructions in the path of the cord and no heavy items should be placed onto it. In addition, do not walk on, step on
or mistreat the cord.
To safeguard the equipment against overheating, make sure that all ventilation openings in the unit housing that offer
exposure to air are unobstructed.
WARNING
Disconnect the power line from the device before servicing.
Transport and Handling
When transporting the 3G29WN2, it is recommended to return the product in the original packaging. This ensures the product will
not be damaged.
In the event the product needs to be returned, ensure it is securely packaged with appropriate padding to prevent
damage during courier transport.

NetComm 3G29WN2 Dual ADSL2+/3G Gateway
Installation and Configuration of
the 3G29WN2
Placement of your 3G29WN2
Just like your mobile phone, the location of the 3G29WN2 will affect its signal strength to a 3G Mobile Base Station (Cell Tower).
The data speed achievable is relative to the 3G signal strength, which is affected by many environmental factors. Please keep in
mind that the 3G29WN2 will need adequate signal strength in order to provide Internet connectivity whilst choosing a location to
place your 3G29WN2 router.
Similar the 3G connection signal strength, the wireless connection signal strength between your 3G29WN2 and your WiFi devices
will be stronger the closer your connected devices are to your 3G29WN2. Your wireless connection and performance will degrade
as the distance between your 3G29WN2 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 3G29WN2 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 WiFi Devices and your 3G29WN2, please try the following steps:
In multi-storey homes, place the 3G29WN2 on a floor that is as close to the centre of the home as possible. This may
mean placing the 3G29WN2 on an upper floor.
Try not to place the 3G29WN2 near a cordless telephone that operates at the same radio frequency as the 3G29WN2
(2.4GHz).
Avoid obstacles and interference
Avoid placing your 3G29WN2 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 3G29WN2).
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 3G29WN2 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 3G29WN2.
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 3G29WN2 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 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 any other detected 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.
