Using HSPA+ technology, you can achieve download speeds of up to 21.6 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 5.76 Mbps1. The built-in 3G antenna provides a reliable connection to your 3G service provider, and a separate Wi-Fi antenna gives extended coverage to the computers and mobile devices connected to

the DWR-710.

Mobile Internet for All ofYour Devices

The Le Petit HSPA+ Router lets you share your fast mobile connection over Wi-Fi from a device small enough to fit in your pocket.

Once the device is set up, you can simply power it on to start up your portable mobile network, meaning

that you can share your mobile Internet connection without even needing a computer.

Designed forTrue Portability

Section 2 - Installation

Wireless Installation Considerations

The DWR-710 can be accessed using a wireless connection from anywhere within the operating range of its wireless network. Keep in mind that the quantity, thickness, and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through may adversely affect wireless signals. Ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or office. The key to maximizing the wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:

1.Minimize the number of walls and ceilings between the router and other network devices. Each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range from 3 to 90 feet (1 to 30 meters).

2.Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (0.5 meters) appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick at a 45-degree angle. At a 2-degree angle it appears over 42 feet (14 meters) thick. Position devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.

3.Try to position access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through open doorways and drywall. Materials such as glass, metal, brick, insulation, concrete, and water can affect wireless performance. Large objects such as fish tanks, mirrors, file cabinets, metal doors, and aluminum studs may also have a negative effect on range.

4.If you are using a 2.4 GHz cordless phone, make sure that the 2.4 GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless device as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone is not in use. In some cases, cordless phones, X-10 wireless devices, and electronic equipment such as ceiling fans, fluorescent lights, and home security systems may dramatically degrade wireless connectivity.

Section 2 - Installation

Configuration

This section will show you how to configure your new D-Link mobile router using the configuration utility that can be obtained through a software interface or a web-based user interface.

Initial Connection to the Router

When configuring the router for the first time, you will need to establish a direct connection with the router in order to access the web-based configuration utility. This can be done by connecting the router to a powered USB port. Once you have configured your router, you will be able to connect using the Wi-Fi settings that you have specified in the configuration process. Ensure that the router is connected before commencing the setup process.

Connect via USB

To connect to the router via USB, plug the router into an available USB port on your computer. Your router is now ready for configuration, please refer to “Configuration Utility” on page 10 to continue the setup process.

Section 2 - Installation

Connect via Wi-Fi

Note: The following example uses Windows 7’s built-in wireless connection utility. If you are using a different operating system, or a third party connection utility, the process may be different. Please refer to the documentation that came with your operating system or wireless client for further information on how to connect to a wireless network.

To connect to the router using Wi-Fi, open your operating system’s wireless networking utility and scan for available networks to connect to. By default, the network name (SSID) of the DWR-710 will be in the format dlink_DWR-710xxxx, where “xxxx” represents the last four character’s of the router’s MAC address.

You will then be prompted to enter the network security key for your router. The unique security key for your router will be displayed on a sticker in the router’s battery bay. Enter the security key in the box provided and click OK. Your wireless connection utility should confirm that the connection is successful, and you can move to the next step to continue to configuration process.
