Overview

Most users who are connecting the Router to the Internet for the first time can proceed to the appropriate chapter about the Setup Wizard and use this chapter as reference on how to connect the hardware. There are three chapters about the Setup Wizard available. If you want to configure the Router for mobile broadband service only, go to “Chapter 5: Setting up the Wireless-G Router for Mobile Broadband Service.” If you want to configure the Router for broadband WAN service only, go to “Chapter 6: Setting up the Wireless-G Router for Broadband WAN Service Only.” If you want to configure the Router for broadband WAN and mobile broadband service, go to “Chapter 7: Setting up the Wireless-G Router for Broadband WAN and Mobile Broadband Service.”

This chapter includes three sets of instructions. Follow the instructions for your configuration.

•If the Router will use the mobile broadband service only, follow the instructions in “Hardware Installation for Use of the Mobile Broadband Service.”

•If the Router will be the only router in your network and you have a broadband modem, follow the instructions in “Hardware Installation for Connection to Your Broadband Modem.”

•If you want to install the Wireless-G Router for Mobile Broadband behind another router in your network, then follow the instructions in “Hardware Installation for Connection to Another Router.”

Hardware Installation for Use of the Mobile Broadband Service Only

1.Power down your network devices.

2.Locate an optimum location for the Router. The best place for the Router is usually at the center of your wireless network, with line of sight to all of your mobile stations.

3.Attach the antenna and fix its direction. Try to place the Router in a position that will best cover your wireless network. Normally, the higher you place the antenna, the better the performance will be.
