Installation

This section will guide you through the installation process.

Connect to Your Network

1. Ensure that your DWR-730 HSPA+ Mobile Router is powered o.
2. Remove the back cover and take out the battery. Slide your (U)SIM card into the slot provided, ensuring that the alignment is the same as indicated by the logo next to the

Caution: Always unplug and turn o the router before installing or removing the SIM card.
Never insert or remove the SIM card while the router is in use.
3. Press and hold the power button on the side of the router.
a. “D-Link” will be displayed on the screen as the router performs its initialization processes.

Driver Installation

When you plug the DWR-730 into your computer, any necessary drivers will immediately install (with your permission).
Note: These drivers are Windows-only. Mac and Linux users will still be able to congure the DWR-730 using the web conguration utility described in “Conguration Utility” on page 12.
7D-Link DWR-730 User Manual
Section 2 - Installation

Wireless Installation Considerations

The DWR-730 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 aect wireless signals. Ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or oce. 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 aect wireless performance. Large objects such as sh tanks, mirrors, le cabinets, metal doors, and aluminum studs may also have a negative eect 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, uorescent lights, and home security systems may dramatically degrade wireless connectivity.

Conguration
This section will show you how to congure your new D-Link mobile router using the conguration utility that can be obtained through a software interface or a web-based user interface.

Initial Connection to the Router

When conguring the router for the rst time, you will need to establish a direct connection with the router in order to access the web-based conguration utility. This can be done using the included USB cable, or by connecting wirelessly to the DWR-730. Once you have congured your router, you will be able to connect using the Wi-Fi settings that you have specied in the conguration process. Ensure that the router is powered on and has sucient battery power before commencing the setup process.

Connect via USB

To connect to the router via USB, plug the provided micro USB cable into the micro USB port on the bottom of the router, and plug the other end into an available USB port on your computer. Your router is now ready for conguration, please refer to “Conguration Utility” on page 12 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 dierent operating system, or a third party connection utility, the process may be dierent. 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-730 will be in the format dlink_DWR-730xxxx, where “xxxx” represents the last four character’s of the router’s MAC address.
Once you have located this network with your wireless utility, connect to the network using your wireless networking utility.
10D-Link DWR-730 User Manual
Section 2 - Installation
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 conrm that the connection is successful, and you can move to the next step to continue to conguration process.
