This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in
a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:
1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio technician for help.
FCC Caution:
To assure continued compliance, (example-use only shielded interface cables when connecting to computer or
peripheral devices) any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Chapter 4. Quick Installation Guide
This chapter will show you how to configure the basic functions of your Wireless 3G Router using
Quick Setup within minutes.
A computer with wired Ethernet connection to the Wireless Router is required for the
first-time configuration.
4.1 Manual Network Setup - TCP/IP Configuration
The default IP address of the WNRT-617 is 192.168.1.1. And the default Subnet Mask is
255.255.255.0. These values can be changed as you desire. In this guide, we use all the default
values for description.
Connect the local PC to the LAN ports of the Router. And then you can configure the IP address for
your PC in the following two ways.
Obtain an IP address automatically
Configure the IP address manually
In the following sections, we’ll introduce how to install and configure the TCP/IP correctly in Windows
XP. First, make sure your Ethernet Adapter is working, and refer to the Ethernet adapter’s manual if
needed.
4.1.1 Obtain an IP Address Automatically
Summary:
Set up the TCP/IP Protocol in "Obtain an IP address automatically" mode on your PC.
Then the WNRT-617 built-in DHCP server will assign IP address to the PC automatically.
1. Install TCP/IP component
1) On the Windows taskbar, click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control
Panel.
2) Click the Network and Internet Connections icon, and then click on the Network
Connections tab in the appearing window.
3) Right click the icon shown below, select Properties on the prompt window.

4.1.2 Configure the IP Address Manually
Summary:
Set up the TCP/IP Protocol for your PC.
Configure the network parameters. The IP address is 192.168.1.xxx ("xxx" is any number
from 2 to 254), Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0, and Gateway is 192.168.1.1 (The Router's
default IP address)
1 Select Use the following IP address radio button.
2 If the Router's LAN IP address is 192.168.1.1, enter IP address 192.168.1.x (x is from 2 to 254),
and Subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
