Installation

This section will guide you through the installation process. Placement of the router is very important. Do not place the router in an enclosed area such as a closet, cabinet, or in an attic or garage.

Connect to Your Network

Note: Ensure that your DIR-455 Mobile Router is disconnected and powered off before performing the installation steps below.

1.Insert a standard U(SIM) card into the SIM card slot on the back of the router with the gold contacts facing downwards.

2.Insert your Internet/WAN network cable into the INTERNET port on the back of the router.

Note: The 3.5G connection can also be used as a backup WAN. Once a backup is configured, the router will automatically use 3.5G for the Internet connection if the Ethernet WAN is not available.

3.Insert the Ethernet cable into the LAN Port 1 on the back panel of the DIR-455 Mobile Router, and an available Ethernet port on the network adapter in the computer you will use to configure the unit.

Note: The DIR-455 Mobile Router LAN Ports are “Auto-MDI/MDIX.” Therefore, patch or crossover Ethernet cables can be used.

4.Connect the power adapter to the socket on the back panel of your DIR-455 Mobile Router. Plug the other end of the power adapter into a wall outlet or power strip.

a.The Status LED will light up to indicate that power has been supplied to the router.

b.The LEDs on the front panel will flash on and off as the DIR-455 Mobile Router performs initialization and Internet connection processes.

c.After a few moments, if a connection has been established, the following LEDs will turn solid green: Power, Status, WAN, WLAN, and LAN Port 1 (or whichever port(s) your Ethernet cable has been connected to).

Caution! Always unplug/power down the router before installing or removing the SIM card. Never insert or remove the SIM card while the router is in use.
