Getting started
This is a step-by-step instruction on how to start using the router and get
connected to the Internet.
1) Setup your network as shown in the setup diagram above (fig 1.2).
2) You will need to set your LAN PC clients so that it can obtain an IP address
automatically. All LAN clients require an IP address. Just like the mailing
address in real world, it allows LAN clients to find one another. (If you already
configured your PC to obtain an IP automatically, please jump to step 3, page
11)
Configure your PC to obtain an IP address automatically
Broadband router’s DHCP function is switched on by default; this means that
you can obtain an IP address automatically once you’ve configured your PC

your LAN.
Once you’ve configured your PC to obtain an IP address automatically,
please proceed to Step 3
15
3) Once you have configured your PCs to obtain an IP address automatically,
the router’s DHCP server will automatically give each of your LAN clients an IP
address. By default the Broadband Router’s DHCP server is enabled so that
you can obtain an IP address automatically. To see if you have obtained an IP
address, see Appendix A.
Note: Please make sure that the Broadband router’s DHCP server is the
only DHCP server on your LAN. If there is another DHCP on your network,
then you’ll need to switch one of the DHCP servers off. (To disable the
Broadband router’s DHCP server see chapter 2 LAN Port)

Step 2) 3G/3.5G Internet Configuration
3G-6200Wg supports most of 3G/3.5G modem cards, just connect the modem card
to the USB port of 3G-6200Wg and 3G-6200Wg will recognize it automatically, no
additional setup procedure required. However, some of modem cards require PIN
code or account / password (you have to use 3G-6200Wg’s web interface to input
these information), and some modem cards requires you to connect the modem card
with your PC and install driver / utility before you connect it with 3G-6200Wg (all PCs
which need to access Internet by 3G-6200Wg requires to perform this procedure
once). If you still not able to connect to Internet, please use wired Internet connection
to access our website :http://www.edimax.com/ ,download latest version of firmware
and upgrade 3G-6200Wg’s firmware. If you still not be able to get connected by your
3G/3.5G modem card, please contact your dealer of purchase and provide the model
name of the 3G/3.5G modem card you have, we’ll try our best to help you to solve
the problem.
Only one Internet connection (wireless / wired) can be used at the same time.
Wireless connection (3G/3.5G) will be selected first, and use wired Internet
connection as backup. Therefore, please DO NOT connect your 3G/3.5G modem
card with 3G-6200Wg, or your telecomm service provider may charge you with high
communication fee. For example, if you connect 3G/3.5G modem card with
3G-6200Wg when you’re using wired Internet connection, wired connection will be
dropped and use 3G/3.5G wireless connection instead. If 3G/3.5G wireless signal
reception is poor and the connection can not be restored within 60 seconds,
3G-6200Wg will use wired Internet connection again, and will not switch back to
wireless Internet connection (This only happens with wired Internet connection is
available. If wired connection is unavailable, 3G-6200Wg will try to establish 3G/3.5G
wireless connection again and again). If you want to use 3G/3.5G wireless
connection again, you need to remove 3G/3.5G modem card from 3G-6200Wg and
reconnect it back after 5 seconds.
( A ) Plug and play, no setup procedure required.
Connect the USB 3G/3.5G modem card with 3G-6200Wg and make sure the
corresponding USB LED indicator of 3G-6200Wg lights up, then you can use the web
browser to access Internet.
( B ) PIN code or user name / password required:
Please check the authentication method you want to use. Most of telecomm service
providers require you to input PIN Code, please check ‘SIM’ and input the PIN code
provided by telecomm service provider. Most of options listed here are optional and
you don’t have to provide those information if telecomm service provider doesn’t
provide you with those information.
If telecomm provider provides you with username / password, please check /User
20
Name / Password box and input the user name / password provided by telecomm
service provider, then click ‘APPLY’ button. Wait for 1 minute (for 3G-6200Wg to
reboot), then you can access Internet.
( C ) Driver / Utility required on PC side
Some 3G/3.5G modem card does not work with instructions (A) or (B) listed above
(ex. BandLuxe C100S). You need to install 3G/3.5G modem card driver / utility on
every PC which needs to access Internet first. After driver / utility installation is
complete, every PC will be able to access Internet via 3G/6200Wg.

Step 3) Broadband Type
3G-6200Wg provides two types of Internet connection method: wireless (3G/3.5G) or
wired connection. You can access internet via USB 3G/3.5G modem card, or via
wired xDSL / cable modem connection. However, only one connection method
(wireless or wired) can be used at the same time.
In this section you have to select one of six types of connections that you will
be using to connect your broadband router’s WAN port to your ISP (see
screen below).
Note: Different ISP’s require different methods of connecting to the Internet,
please check with your ISP as to the type of connection it requires.
