Office/Home Office (SOHO) networks and the users demanding higher networking performa nce.
3G/WAN Broadband Connection
The Wireless 3G Router, WNRT-617G, provides 3G and WAN (xDSL, static IP, or dynamic IP) two
kinds of broadband connection to get on the Internet. You can access the Internet no matter at home
or outside on business. Automatic 3G/WAN fail-over feature just provides non-stop internet
connection.
Multiple Wireless Network Technologies for Greater Access
PLANET WNRT-617G features 802.11n radio with 1T1R antenna technology compliant with
802.11b/g/n standards. Compared with general wireless routers, the WNRT-617G offers more
powerful and flexible capability for LAN client to access Internet with management functions.
Incredibly High Speed
Our 3G Router provides a speed of up to 150Mbps which is 3X fast of traditional 11g products,
surpassing 11g performance and enabling the use of high bandwidth-consuming applications such as
HD Videos.
Wide Range of Wireless Security Support
To secure the wireless communication, the WNRT-617G supports up-to-date encryption,
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK with TKIP/AES. In order to simplify the security settings, the WNRT-617G
supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) configuration with PBC/PIN methods. By just clicking the

Chapter 4. Quick Installation Guide
This chapter will show you how to configure the basic functions of your Wireless 3G Router using
Quick Setup within minutes.
A computer with wired Ethernet connection to the Wireless Router is required for the
first-time configuration.
4.1 Manual Network Setup - TCP/IP Configuration
The default IP address of the WNRT-617G is 192.168.1.1. And the default Subnet Mask is
255.255.255.0. These values can be changed as you desire. In this guide, we use all the default
values for description.
Connect the local PC to the LAN ports of the Router. And then you can configure the IP address for
your PC in the following two ways.
Obtain an IP address automatically
Configure the IP address manually
In the following sections, we’ll introduce how to install and configure the TCP/IP correctly in Windows
XP. First, make sure your Ethernet Adapter is working, and refer to the Ethernet adapter’s manual if
needed.
4.1.1 Obtain an IP Address Automatically
Summary:
Set up the TCP/IP Protocol in "Obtain an IP address automatically" mode on your PC.
Then the WNRT-617G built-in DHCP server will assign IP address to the PC automatically.
1. Install TCP/IP component
1) On the Windows taskbar, click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control
Panel.
2) Click the Network and Internet Connections icon, and then click on the Network
Connections tab in the appearing window.
3) Right click the icon shown below, select Properties on the prompt window.

4) In the prompt window shown below, double click on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
Figure 4-2
5) The following TCP/IP Properties window will display and the IP Address tab is open on this
window by default.

2. Setting IP address automatically
Select Obtain an IP address automatically, Choose Obtain DNS server automatically, as shown in
the Figure below:
Figure 4-3
Now click OK to save your settings.
4.1.2 Configure the IP Address Manually
Summary:
Set up the TCP/IP Protocol for your PC.
Configure the network parameters. The IP address is 192.168.1.xxx ("xxx" is any number
from 2 to 254), Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0, and Gateway is 192.168.1.1 (The Router's
default IP address)
1 Select Use the following IP address radio button.
2 If the Router's LAN IP address is 192.168.1.1, enter IP address 192.168.1.x (x is from 2 to 254),
and Subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
-13-
User’s Manual of WNRT-617G
3 Enter the Router’s LAN IP address (the default IP is 192.168.1.1) into the Default gateway field.
4 Select Use the following DNS server addresses radio button. In the Preferred DNS Server
field, you can enter the DNS server IP address which has been provided by your ISP
Figure 4-4
Now click OK to save your settings.
Now, you can run the Ping command in the command prompt to verify the network connection
between your PC and the Router. The following example is in Windows XP OS. Please follow the
steps below:
1. Click on Start > Run.
