Chapter 1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing Compex 3G Wireless-11N Router!
The 3G Wireless-11N Router, which complies with the latest IEEE802.11n and
IEEE802.11b/g standards and provides up to 150Mbps（One
antenna）/ 300Mbps (Two
antennas) wireless receiving and transmitting rate with its wireless transmitting distance 3
times farther than G-products. It includes Wireless AP, Router, 4-Port Switch, and Firewall
in one, and basically provides three ways to access the Internet sharing with other
computers. The first way is to share 3G Internet connection with all network users using a
3G USB modem card to connect the USB port of the Router. It is especially suitable for the
users who are not convenient in using fixed broadband or those who need to share the
Internet movably.
The second way is to use the unique wireless WAN feature to access wireless broadband.
When wireless broadband signals provided by ISP are not strong enough in some Wi-Fi
hot area, you can set the wireless WAN feature to amplify wireless signals and share the
Internet with other computers.
The third way is to connect the Router’s WAN port with the traditional DSL or Cable
broadband line to access the Internet. With powerful compatibility, it can break through
some access restricted area to share the Internet with multiple computers easily.
Besides those access ways, WDS (Wireless Distribution System) enables you to bridge
other wireless Routers and extend wireless coverage area. Meanwhile, QoS bandwidth
control is used to control downloading speeds of the specific computers.
In a word, 3G Wireless-11N Router is your premier choice to share the Internet via 3G,
wireless broadband, and wired broadband access ways.

4.1 WAN Mode
The Router provides three access medium types. If you are provided the 3G broadband
by your ISP to access the Internet, you can connect the 3G USB modem card to the
Router’s USB port and select 3G WAN to set the device. If you are provided the wired
WAN access broadband such as ADSL MODEM, CABLE MODEM or ISP broadband
access line, you can connect the access line directly to the WAN port on the Router’s rear
panel. In addition, if you are provided the wireless broadband by your ISP, you can access
the Internet conveniently.
3G WAN: If you have a 3G USB modem card and you want to share 3G signals and
access the Internet, please select this type.
Wired WAN: In this type the WAN link line must be wired. Please connect the access line
to the WAN port on the Router’s rear panel. The default type is wired WAN.
Wireless WAN: If you are provided the wireless WAN to access the Internet or you want
to amplify the wireless signals, you can use this type.
Please select the different WAN medium type according to the different access ways
provided by your ISP. After saving and rebooting the device, you can enter the “Setup
Wizard” menu to set the connection type.
