Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the 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. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. 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 of the following
measures:
◆Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
◆Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver
◆Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected
◆Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help
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, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate
this equipment.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
FCC RADIATION EXPOSURE STATEMENT

ANTENNAS The access point includes integrated MIMO antennas for wireless
communications. A MIMO antenna system uses two or more identical
antennas to receive and transmit signals, helping to increase data
throughput and range. The antennas transmit the outgoing signal as a
toroidal sphere (doughnut shaped), with the coverage extending most in a
direction perpendicular to the antenna. The antenna should be adjusted to
an angle that provides the appropriate coverage for the service area.
LED INDICATORS The wireless 3G Broadband Router includes four status LED indicators, as
described in the following figure and table.
Figure 2: LEDs
Table 2: LED Behavior
LED Status Description
Power On Blue The unit is receiving power and is operating normally.
Off There is no power currently being supplied to the
unit.
WLAN On/Blinking Blue The 802.11n radio is enabled and
transmitting or receiving data through wireless links.
Off The 802.11n radio is disabled.
WPS On Blue Indicates the WPS authentication of a device has
been successfully completed.
Fast Blinking Blue Indicates the WPS authentication of a client device is
in progress.
If the WPS authentication of a device does not
complete after 120 seconds, the LED changes to Slow
Blinking.
Slow Blinking Blue Indicates the WPS authentication of a device did not
complete after 120 seconds. The LED status does not
change until the user restarts or disables the WPS
connection.
Off The WPS is not in progress.

◆Slow blinking is an on-off cycle of once every 2 seconds.
◆Fast blinking is an on-off cycle of once of every 0.5 seconds.
◆Untra Fast flashing is an on-off cycle of once of every 0.2 seconds.
ETHERNET WAN PORT A 100BASE-TX RJ-45 port that can be attached to an Internet access
device, such as a DSL or Cable modem.
ETHERNET LAN PORT The wireless 3G Broadband Router has four 100BASE-TX RJ-45 ports that
can be attached directly to a PC or 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX LAN segments.
These ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use
straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs, switches, or
hubs.
3G MODEM USB
PORT
The 3G Modem USB Port supports connection to a wireless cellular 3G or
3.5G modem for broadband Internet access.

POWER CONNECTOR The wireless 3G Broadband Router must be powered with its supplied
power adapter. Failure to do so results in voiding of any warrantly supplied
with the product. The power adapter automatically adjusts to any voltage
between 100~240 volts at 50 or 60 Hz, and supplies 12 volts DC power to
the unit. No voltage range settings are required.
WPS BUTTON Press the WPS button to automatically configure the wireless 3G
Broadband Router with other WPS devices in the WLAN.
RESET BUTTON The Reset button is used to restore the factory default configuration. If you
hold down the button for 5 seconds or more, any configuration changes
you may have made are removed, and the factory default configuration is
restored to the wireless 3G Broadband Router.

2INSTALLING THE WIRELESS 3G
BROADBAND ROUTER
The wireless 3G Broadband Router has two basic operating modes that can
be set through the web-based management interface. For information on
setting the mode suitable for your network environment. See “Operation
Mode” on page 46
◆Router Mode — A router mode that connects a wired LAN and wireless
clients to an Internet access device, such as a cable or DSL modem.
This is the factory set default mode.
◆Bridge Mode — An access point mode that extends a wired LAN to
wireless clients.
In addition to these basic operating modes, the wireless interface supports
a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) link to another wireless 3G
Broadband Router. These advanced configurations are not described in this
section. See “Network Planning” on page 25 for more information.
In a basic configuration, how the wireless 3G Broadband Router is
connected depends on the operating mode. The following sections describe
connections for basic Router Mode and Bridge Mode operation.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
You must meet the following minimum requirements:
◆An Internet access device (DSL or Cable modem) with an Ethernet port
connection.
◆An up-to-date web browser: Internet Explorer 6.0 or above or Mozilla
Firefox 2.0 or above.
