Product Features
The 4G100W 4G LTE WiFi Router creates a secure WiFi network, providing Internet access for up to 15 users using your 4G
provider’s mobile broadband network. With quick and easy setup, the 4G100W provides a fixed internet experience without the
need for fixed line connections. Simply plug the 4G100W into a power outlet and insert an active SIM card to access your 4G
provider’s mobile internet connection within minutes.
The 4G100W 4G LTE WiFi Router incorporates a WLAN 802.11b/g/n access point, one Gigabit WAN/LAN port and three
10/100Mbps Ethernet ports. Two USB ports provide connectivity to attached USB Storage devices for connected clients. It features
the latest security options such as WPA and WPA2 data encryption, SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) Firewall and VPN pass
through.
Speeds are dependent on network coverage. See your 3G/4G provider coverage maps for more details. The total number of WiFi
users connected to the router can also affect data speeds. Maximum wireless signal rate and coverage values are derived from
IEEE Standard 802.11g and 802.11n specifications. Actual wireless speed and coverage are dependent on network and
environmental conditions included but not limited to volume of network traffic, building materials and construction/layout.

Safety and Product Care
With reference to unpacking, installation, use and maintenance of your electronic device, the following basic guidelines are
recommended:
To avoid fire or shock hazard do not use or install this product near water. For example, near a bathtub, kitchen sink,
laundry tub, or near a swimming pool. Also, do not expose the equipment to rain or damp areas (e.g. a wet basement).
Do not connect the power supply cord on elevated surfaces. Allow it to lie freely. There should be no obstructions in its
path and no heavy items should be placed on the cord. In addition, do not walk on, step on or mistreat the cord.
To safeguard the equipment against overheating, make sure that all ventilation areas on the router panels are
unobstructed.
WARNING
Disconnect the power line from the device before servicing.
Transport and Handling
When transporting the 4G100W 4G LTE WiFi Router, it is recommended the product be returned to the original packaging. This will
ensure the product will not be damaged during transportation.
In the event the product needs to be returned, ensure it is securely packaged with appropriate padding to prevent
damage during courier transport.

Installation and Configuration of
the 4G100W 4G LTE WiFi
Router
Placement of your 4G100W 4G LTE WiFi Router
Just like your mobile phone, the 4G100W 4G LTE WiFi Router’s location will affect its signal strength to the Mobile Base Station
(Cell Tower). The data speed achievable from the 4G100W 4G LTE WiFi Router is relative to this signal strength, which is affected
by many environmental factors. When choosing a location to place your 4G100W 4G LTE WiFi Router, please keep in mind that the
4G100W 4G LTE WiFi Router will need adequate signal strength in order to provide Internet.
Similarly, the wireless connection between your 4G100W 4G LTE WiFi Router and your WiFi devices will be stronger the closer your
connected wireless devices are to your 4G100W 4G LTE WiFi Router. Your wireless connection and performance will degrade as
the distance between your 4G100W 4G LTE WiFi Router and connected devices increases. This may or may not be directly
noticeable, and is greatly affected by the individual installation environment.
If you have concerns about your network’s performance that might be related to range or obstruction factors, try moving the
computer to a position between three to five meters from the 4G100W 4G LTE WiFi Router in order to see if distance is the
problem.
Note: While some of the items listed below can affect network performance, they will not prohibit your wireless network
from functioning; if you are concerned that your network is not operating at its maximum effectiveness, this checklist may
help.
If you experience difficulties connecting wirelessly between your WiFi Devices and your 4G100W 4G LTE WiFi Router, please try the
following steps:
In multi-storey homes, place the 4G100W 4G LTE WiFi Router on a floor that is as close to the centre of the home as
possible. This may mean placing the 4G100W 4G LTE WiFi Router on an upper floor.
Try not to place the 4G100W 4G LTE WiFi Router near any cordless telephones that operate at the same radio
frequency as the 4G100W 4G LTE WiFi Router (2.3GHz).
Avoid obstacles and interference
Avoid placing your 4G100W 4G LTE WiFi Router near devices that may emit radio “noise,” such as microwave ovens. Dense
objects that can inhibit wireless communication include:
Refrigerators.
Washers and/or dryers.
Metal cabinets.
Large aquariums.
Metallic-based, UV-tinted windows.
If your wireless signal seems weak in some spots, make sure that objects such as those listed above are not blocking
the signal’s path (between your devices and the 4G100W 4G LTE WiFi Router).
Cordless Phones
If the performance of your wireless network is impaired after considering the above issues, and you have a cordless phone:
Try moving cordless phones away from your 4G100W 4G LTE WiFi Router and your wireless-enabled computers.
Unplug and remove the battery from any cordless phone that operates on the 2.3GHz band (check the
manufacturer’s information). If this fixes the problem, your phone may be interfering with the 4G100W 4G LTE WiFi
Router.
If your phone supports channel selection, change the channel on the phone to the farthest channel from your wireless
network. For example, change the phone to use wireless channel 1 and set your 4G100W 4G LTE WiFi Router to use
wireless channel 11. See your phone’s user manual for detailed instructions.
If necessary, consider switching to a 900MHz or 5GHz cordless phone.

YMLN4G100W
Choose the “Quietest” Channel for your Wireless Network
In locations where homes or offices are close together, such as apartment buildings or office complexes, there may be wireless
networks nearby that can conflict with your wireless network and cause interference. Use the Site Survey capabilities found in the
Wireless Utility of your wireless adapter to locate any other wireless networks that are available (see your wireless adapter’s user
manual), and switch your Router and computers to a channel as far away from other networks as possible.
Experiment with more than one of the available channels, in order to find the clearest connection and avoid interference from
neighbouring cordless phones or other wireless devices.
Hardware installation
1. Insert your SIM card (until you hear a click) into the SIM slot. Please be careful to insert the SIM card with the correct
orientation by viewing the printed icon on the router housing.
2. Connect the power adapter to the power socket on the back of the 4G100W 4G LTE WiFi Router.
3. Plug the power adapter into your power point and switch on the power.
4. Wait approximately 60 seconds for the 4G100W 4G LTE WiFi Router to power up.
Connecting via an Ethernet cable
1. If you wish to connect a computer via Ethernet cable, connect the yellow Ethernet cable provided to one of the Ethernet
ports on the back of the 4G100W 4G LTE WiFi Router.
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to your computer or to another Ethernet-enabled device such as a gaming
console, a TV or a home cinema system.
3. Wait approximately 30 seconds for the connection to establish.
Connecting wirelessly
You can connect multiple WiFi devices, including laptops, desktops, tablets and PDA’s to your Router by following these two
basic steps.
1. Ensure WiFi is enabled on your device (computer/laptop/smartphone).
2. Scan for wireless networks in your area and connect to the network name shown on the included Wireless Security Card.
3. When prompted for your wireless security settings, enter the Wireless security key shown on the included Wireless Security
Card.
4. Wait approximately 30 seconds for the connection to establish.
5. To connect additional devices via WiFi, repeat steps 1 through 4.
