Attach the Antennas
You must install the antennas for a 4G L TE™ connection. The antennas are interchangeable.
To attach the antennas:
1. Align the antennas with the antenna posts on the router
2. Attach the antennas on the threaded antenna posts, ensuring that the connection is secure.
3. Adjust the antenna positions.
You can swivel the antennas in any direction.
.
Find the Best Spot for Your Router
The router lets you access your network from anywhere within the operating range of your
wireless network. However, the operating distance or range of your wireless connection
depends on where you put your router. For example, the thickness and number of walls the
wireless signal passes through can limit the range.
Position your router upright. Place the router near an AC power outlet in a location with a
strong wireless broadband signal, such as near a window

U.S. Cellular® 4G LTE™ Router (LG2200D)
To position your router:
1. Place your router in a location that receives
a strong wireless signal (for example, near a
window).
2. Use the Signal Quality LED to
position the router for the best signal strength.
3. Place your router near the center of the area
where your computers and other devices
operate, and within line of sight to your
wireless devices.
4. Make sure that the router i
s within reach of an
AC power outlet and near Ethernet cables for
wired computers.
5. Place the router i
n an elevated location,
minimizing the number walls and ceilings
between the router and your other devices.
6. Place the router away from electrical devices
such as these:
• Ceiling fans
• Home security systems
• Microwaves
• Computers
• Base of a cordless phone
• 2.4 GHz cordless phone
7. Place the router away from large metal surfaces, large glass surfaces, and insulated walls
such as these:
• Solid metal door
• Aluminum studs
• Fish tanks
• Mirrors
• Brick
• Concrete

Connect to the Network
You can connect to the router’s network through a wired or WiFi connection. If you set up
your computer to use a static IP address, change the settings so that it uses Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
Wired Connection
You can connect your computer to the router using an Ethernet cable and join the router’s
local area network (LAN).
To connect your computer to the router with an Ethernet cable:
1. Make sure that the router has power (its Power LED is lit).
2. Connect an Ethernet cable to an Ethernet port on your computer.
3. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to one of the numbered Ethernet ports.
Your computer connects to the local area network (LAN). A message might display on
your computer screen to notify you that an Ethernet cable is connected.
WiFi Connection
You can find and select the WiFi network, or you can connect to the router’s WiFi network
with WiFi Protected Setup (WPS.
To find and select the WiFi network:
1. Make sure that the router has power (its Power LED is lit).
2. On your computer or wireless device, find and select the WiFi network.
The WiFi network name is on the router’s label.
3. Join the WiFi network and enter the WiFi password.
The password is on the router’s label.
Your wireless device connects to the WiFi network.
To use WPS to connect to the WiFi network:
1. Make sure that the router has power (its Power LED is lit).
2. Check the WPS instructions for your computer or wireless device.
3. Press the WPS button on the router.

Block Services from the Internet
Services are functions that server computers perform at the request of client computers. For
example, web servers serve web pages, time servers serve time and date information, and
game hosts serve data about players’ moves. When a computer on the Internet sends a
request for service to a server computer, a port number identifies the requested service. This
number displays as the destination port number in the transmitted IP packets. For example, a
packet that is sent with the destination port number 80 is an HTTP (web server) request.
