Setting up your router
Installation
After you unpack the box, follow the steps, documented below, in order to properly connect the device. For better Wi-
Fi performance, put the device in clearly visible spot, as obstacles such as walls and door hinder the signal.
1. First assemble your router by attaching the necessary antennas and inserting the SIM card.
2. To power up your router, please use the power adapter included in the box. (IMPORTANT: Using a different
power adapter can damage and void the warranty for this product.).
3. If you have a wired broadband connection you will also have to connect it to the WAN port of the router.

has to be 192.168.1.1. Finally we enter primary and secondary DNS server IPs. One will suffice, though it is
good to have a secondary one as well as it will act as a backup if the first should fail. The DNS can be your
routers IP (192.168.1.1), but it can also be some external DNS server (like the one Google provides: 8.8.8.8).

press the Enter key. You have now successfully logged into the router and should see the Status page.
From here on out you can configure almost any aspect of your router.
Operation Modes
The RUT500 router supports various operation modes. It can be connected to the internet (WAN) via 3G, standard
Ethernet cable or via a wireless network. If you connect to the internet via an Ethernet cable of Wi-Fi, you may also
backup your connection with 3G for added stability. On every case except when you connect to the internet via Wi-Fi,
you can distribute your internet via an Ethernet cable (3 ports) and/or a wireless network. When you connect via Wi-Fi,
you cannot have Wi-Fi in your LAN.
