Important Notice
Due to the nature of wireless communications, transmission and reception of data can never be guaranteed.
Data may be delayed, corrupted (i.e., have errors) or be totally lost. Although significant delays or losses of
data are rare when wireless devices such as the router are used in a normal manner with a well-constructed
network, the router should not be used in situations where failure to transmit or receive data could result in
damage of any kind to the user or any other party, including but not limited to personal injury, death or loss
of property. Axesstel accepts no responsibility for damages of any kind resulting from delays or errors in
data transmitted or received using the Axesstel router or for failure of the Axesstel router to transmit or
receive such data.
Safety Precautions
Do not operate the router:
• In areas where blasting is in progress
• Where explosive atmospheres may be present
• Near medical equipment
• Near life support equipment or any equipment that may be susceptible to any form of radio
interference. In such areas, the router MUST BE POWERED OFF. The Axesstel router can transmit
signals that could interfere with this equipment.
Do not operate the router in any aircraft, whether the aircraft is on the ground or in flight. In aircraft, the
router MUST BE POWERED OFF. When operating, the router can transmit signals that could interfere with
various onboard systems.
Note: Some airlines may permit the use of cellular phones while the aircraft is on the ground and the door is
open. The router may be used at this time.
The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate the router while in control of a vehicle. Doing so will
detract from the driver or operator’s control and operation of that vehicle. In some states and provinces,
operating such communications devices while in control of a vehicle is an offense
.

1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Ice.net R90 EV-DO router .This user manual will help you setup, configure and
outline best practices for maximizing your wireless home network performance with the router.
2 Product Overview
In minutes, you will be able to connect your computers to the Internet, share your Internet connection and
network your computers.. The following is a list of features that make your new Ice.net EV-DO router an
ideal solution for your home or small office network. Implementation of these features depends on the
particular service provider and account features you have chosen.
Some features described in this manual may not be supported by your service provider or may not be
available with your network account. For details of the services and accounts available, contact your service
provider.
Plug-and-Play
• Your router was factory-set for compatibility with a particular service provider. Thus, your router
operates on radio channels and enables services specific to your network service provider. Once
your router has been activated on your service provider’s network, you can connect to the Internet.
After your router is activated, connect it to your computer using the Ethernet (RJ-45) cable or via
WiFi. You are now ready to use the Internet.
Web-Based Advanced User Interface
You can easily setup the router’s advanced functions through your web browser and without having to install
additional software onto your computer. There are no drivers to install and, you can easily make changes
and perform setup functions from any computer which is connected to your R90
• NAT IP Address Sharing
• Support for VPN Pass Through
• Built in Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
• Integrated 802.11b/g/n Wireless Access Point
• MAC Address Filtering
Integrated 10/100 4-Port Switch
The R90 has a built-in, 4-port network switch to allow your wired computers to share printers, data and MP3
files, digital photos, and much more. The switch features automatic detection so it will adjust to the speed of
connected devices. The switch will transfer data between computers and the Internet simultaneously without
interrupting or consuming resources.
Integrated 802.11 b/g/n Wireless Access Point
The R90 supports Wi-Fi modes b/g and n. Your router as default is set to Wi-Fi mode g. To use mode n you
can change this by logging into the web interface (instructions are in section 3.10). Although, please ensure
that your Wi-Fi card supports n mode.

2.1 Placement of your R90
Place your R90, the central connection point of your network, as close as possible to windows or in rooms at
the outer side of your house. If you also use the Wi-Fi feature of the R90, it should be placed near the center
of your wireless network devices.
To achieve the best wireless network coverage:
♦ Ensure that your R90’s networking antennas are parallel to each other, and are positioned vertically
(toward the ceiling). If your R90 itself is positioned vertically, point the antennas as much as possible in
an upward direction. In multistory homes, place the R90 on an upper floor.
♦ Avoid placing your R90 near devices that may emit radio “noise,” such as microwave ovens. Dense
objects can interfere with wireless communication
♦ If your wireless signal seems weak in some areas, try to move the R90 to another location while
observing the signal strength indicator

3.9 Setting up your hardware
1 Make sure your router is not connected to any power source and that all the LEDs are OFF.
2 How to setup the antennas for maximized performance
:
① Antennas are located on both sides of the router.
② Attach the antennas to the back of the router
③ Hand tighten the antennas so that they are securely attached to the router
3 Locate the power supply that is included with your router. Plug the power supply’s small connector into
the power port on the router (6). Plug the power supply into an empty power outlet.
4 Switch on the router (8). Look at the Power LED on top of the router and make sure the lights are ON.
5 Wait for a few seconds while the router searches for network service. When the router finds a suitable
network, the Signal LED turns blue and will flash dependent upon the strength of the acquired signal.
Refer to the Signal Strength LED description for more details.
6 Locate the Ethernet cable that is included with your router. Plug one end of this cable into ANY
Ethernet port on your router. Plug the other end of the cable into the networking port on your computer.
Alternatively connect to the router through WiFi (see below).
3.10 Connecting and Configuring your Router
Each router is factory built for use with a particular service provider. Thus, each router is set to use particular
radio channels and to enable services specific to a provider.
Once your router has been activated with the network, connect your computer to the router using the
provided Ethernet (RJ-45) cable or WiFi. You are now ready to use the Internet.
When connecting through WiFi you must enter the unique password for your router. This can be found on
the sticker on the bottom of your router.
