Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
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.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the Following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference
(2) This Device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure set forth for an uncontrolled environment. In order to
avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to the antenna
shall not be less than 20 cm (8 inches) during normal operation.
R&TTE Compliance Statement
This equipment complies with all the requirements of DIRECTIVE 1999/5/CE OF THE EUROPEAN
PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF 9 March 1999 on radio equipment and telecommunication terminal
Equipment and the mutual recognition of their conformity (R&TTE).
The R&TTE Directive repeals and replaces in the directive 98/13/EEC (Telecommunications Terminal
Equipment and Satellite Earth Station Equipment) As of April 8, 2000.
Safety
This equipment is designed with the utmost care for the safety of those who install and use it. However, special
attention must be paid to the dangers of electric shock and static electricity when working with electrical
equipment. All guidelines of this and of the computer manufacture must therefore be allowed at all times to
ensure the safe use of the equipment.
National Restrictions
This device is intended for home and office use in all EU countries (and other countries following the EU
directive 1999/5/EC) without any limitation except for the countries mentioned below:
Country Restriction Reason/remark
Bulgaria None General authorization required for outdoor use and
public service
France
Outdoor use limited to 10
mW e.i.r.p. within the band
2454-2483.5 MHz
Military Radiolocation use. Refarming of the 2.4 GHz
band has been ongoing in recent years to allow current
relaxed regulation. Full implementation planned 2012
Italy None If used outside of own premises, general authorization is
required
Luxembourg None General authorization required for network and service
supply(not for spectrum)
Norway Implemented This subsection does not apply for the geographical area
within a radius of 20 km from the centre of Ny-Ålesund
Russian
Federation
None Only for indoor applications
Note: Please don’t use the product outdoors in France
WEEE regulation
To avoid the potential effects on the environment and human health as a result of the presence of
hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, end users of electrical and electronic
equipment should understand the meaning of the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol. Do not dispose of
WEEE as unsorted municipal waste; they have to be collected separately.

1.2 Product Description
3G Broadband Sharing
PLANET Wireless 3G Router, WNRT-617G, provides home and SOHO users with a reliable and cost
effective wireless solution by featuring 3G/WAN backup Internet access and high speed IEEE 802.11n
wireless transmission. The WNRT-617G is equipped with one USB port for connection to mobile
network of UMTS / HSPA / EVDO via 3G/3.5G USB modem and one WAN port for wired cable and
DSL service connection. The 3G/3.5G USB capability of the WNRT-617G features activating internet
connection anytime and the redundant WAN interface to ensure the most reliable connection. The
WNRT-617G provides more flexible and easier way for users to create an instant wireless network
sharing service via 3G modem wherever at Home, Hotspot or in public places like transportation,
outdoor event, etc.
High Speed 802.11n Wireless
The WNRT-617G features the latest IEEE 802.11n radio with 1T1R antenna technology to provide
improved wireless speed and coverage with up to 150Mbps upload and download data rate. The
incredible wireless speed makes it ideal for handling multiple video stream, on-line music, VoIP and
data streams at the same time stably and smoothly. It is also backward compliant with 802.11g and
802.11b standards; thus it does not need to change the existing network for maintaining connectivity.
Just connect to the WNRT-617G and you can immediately enjoy the high-speed wireless sharing.
Wireless Coverage Plus !
With one 5dBi high-gain antenna attached, the WNRT-617G provides stronger signal quality and more

excellent performance than normal wireless routers especially when in the long range or poor
environment condition for further wireless coverage range. With the detachable RP-SMA connector
design, the WNRT-617G allows users to manually exchange higher gain antenna for greater wireless
distances and coverage range across home and building. Besides essential wireless sharing for Wi-Fi
clients, the WNRT-617G provides WDS (Wireless Distribution System) bridge mode to facilitate
wireless network deployments and range expansion. It provides more flexibility for users while establishing
wireless network.
Wide Range of Wireless Security Support
To secure the wireless communication, the WNRT-617G supports not only 64/128/152-Bit WEP, but
also up-to-date encryptions including WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK with TKIP/AES, wireless MAC filtering
and SSID broadcast control to consolidate the wireless network security and prevent unauthorized
wireless connection.
Easy, Secure Wireless Connection
In order to simplify security settings for home and SOHO network, the WNRT-617G supports Wi-Fi
Protected Setup (WPS) with configuration in PBC and PIN type. Just push the WPS button or key in
the PIN code and the secure connection between the WNRT-617G and wireless clients will be built
immediately. It offers a convenient and fast method for users.
Advanced Firewall Security
To protect user’s network from external attacks, the WNRT-617G provides dual firewall mechanisms –
NAT and SPI. The NAT function allows multiple users to access to Internet via a single legal IP, and the
SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) firewall protects intranet PCs from unauthorized access and prevents possible
DoS attacks from the Internet. In the aspect of firewall, the WNRT-617G supplies flexible IP-Based
Access Control, schedulable MAC access control andURL block toprevent possible hackers attack.
Full Functioned Router
As a robust broadband router, the WNRT-617G supports various Internet connection protocols and
auto detect function to establish Internet service when the ISPs use different connection type. It also
provides Virtual Server and DMZ functions for LAN PC to act as an application server and offer certain
service to the clients in the LAN. The WNRT-617G allows users to set up trigger ports of special

applications and utilize Internet services smoothly. Moreover, IP-Based ingress and egress bandwidth
control optimizes time-critical applications such as VoIP or video conference not to be interrupted or
lagged due to P2P file download by other clients in the same network environment.
Easy to Set up
Users can easily configure the wireless router by running the Smart Setup! Wizard included in the
CD-ROM provided in the package. Just click the wizard and set up step by step. You can easily get in
the wireless network and enjoy high speed Internet transmission in home or office.
