CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
Introduction to your Router
Congratulations on your purchase of the RIDGEWAVE 6300NEL (4G/LTE Wireless Broadband
Router). This router is a compact and advanced broadband router that offers flexible and multiple
Internet connection options, EWAN and embedded 4G/LTE interfaces, for home, SOHO, and office
users to enjoy high-speed, high-level security Internet connection via cellular wireless and/or Ethernet
WAN. With an integrated 802.11n wireless access point and 4-port Gigabit Ethernet LAN, this router
enables faster wireless speed of up to 300Mbps and LAN connection 10 times faster than regular
10/100Mbps Ethernet LAN. RIDGEWAVE 6300NEL (4G/LTE Wireless Broadband Router) provides
a unique Management Center enabling users to monitor 4G/LTE signal strength, bandwidth, download
speed, and many more.
4G/LTE Mobility
With 4G/LTE-based Internet connection (4G/LTE embedded module, requires an additional SIM card),
you can access to the Internet through 4G/LTE whether you are seated at your desk or taking a
cross-country trip.
4G/LTE Management Center
RIDGEWAVE 6300NEL (4G/LTE Wireless Broadband Router) Mobile Management Center visually
displays its current 4G/LTE signal status also calculates the total amount of hours or data traffic used
per month, allowing you to manage your 4G/LTE monthly subscriptions.
Wireless Mobility and Security
With an integrated 802.11n Wireless Access Point, this router delivers up to 3 times the wireless
coverage of a 802.11b/g network device, so that wireless access is available everywhere in the house
or office. If your network requires wider coverage, the built-in Wireless Distribution System (WDS)
allows you to expand your wireless network without additional wires or cables. RIDGEWAVE
6300NEL (4G/LTE Wireless Broadband Router) also supports the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
standard and allows users to establish a secure wireless network just by pressing a button. Multiple
SSIDs allow users to access different networks through a single access point. Network managers can
assign different policies and functions for each SSID, increasing the flexibility and efficiency of the
network infrastructure.
IPv6 Supported
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is a version of the Internet Protocol that is designed to succeed IPv4.
IPv6 has a vastly larger address space than IPv4. The router is already supporting IPv6, you can use
it in IPv6 environment no need to change device. The dual-stack protocol implementation in an
operating system is a fundamental IPv4-to-IPv6 transition technology. It implements IPv4 and IPv6
protocol stacks either independently or in a hybrid form. The hybrid form is commonly implemented in
modern operating systems supporting IPv6.
