2.2 Hardware Installation

1. Locate an optimum location for the WNRT-625G. Th e b est place for your WNRT-625G is usually
at the center of your wireless network, with line of sight to all of your mobile stations.
2. Adjust the antennas of WNRT-625G. Try to adjust them to a position that can best cover your wireless network. The antenna’s position will enhance the receiving sensitivity.
3. There are two way connecting to Internet, One is via 3G USB port, and another is from WAN port.
8
3-1. Connect your 3G/3.5G USB modem to the USB port located in front panel of WNRT-625G.
NOTE:
Please also check with your local dealer or PLANET Web site for supported 3G/3.5G USB adapter
3-2. Connect ADSL/Cable Modem to WAN port of WNRT-625G via RJ-45 Ethernet cable.
9
4. Connect all of your netw ork devices to LAN port of WNRT-625G. Connect all your computers,
0
network devices (network-enabled consumer devices other than computers, like game console, or switch / hub).Connect one of the LAN ports on WNRT-625G to your LAN switch/hub or a computer with a RJ-45 cable.
5. Plug in power adapter and conn ect to power source. After power on, WNRT-625G will start to operate.
6. Please check all LEDs on the front panel. ‘PWR’ LED should be steadily on. WAN and LAN LEDs should be on if the computer / network device connected to the respective port of the router is powered on and correctly connected. If PWD LED is not on, or any LED you expected is not on, please recheck the cabling, or jump to ‘Troubleshooting’ for possible reasons and solution.
Note:
1. ONLY use the power adapter supplied with the WNRT-625G. Otherwise, the product may be
damaged.
2. If you want to reset WNRT-625G to default settings, press and hold the RST(reset) button over
30 seconds and release. And then wait for WNRT-625G restart.

2.3 Network Setup

After you install your WNRT-625G, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server (WNRT-625G) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below:
1. Click on Start > Run.
2. In the run box type “cmd” and click OK. (Windows VistaR users type cmd in the Start .Search box.)At the prompt.
11
3. Type “ipconfig” and press Enter. It will display the IP address, subnet mask, and the default gateway of adapter.
4. If the address is 0.0.0.0, check your adapter installation, security settings, and the settings on your router. Some firewall software programs may block a DHCP request on newly installed adapters.
Assign a static IP address
If you are not using a DHCP capable gateway/router, or you need to assign a static IP address, please follow the steps below:
1. - Windows Vista® - Click on Start > Control .Panel > Network .and .Internet
>Network .and .Sharing .Center > Manage Network Connections.
- Windows® XP - Click on Start > Control .Panel > Network Connections.
- Windows® 2000 - From the desktop, right-click My Network Places > Properties.
2. Right-click on the Local Area Connection which represents your network adapter and select Properties.
3. Highlight Internet .Protocol .(TCP/IP) and click Properties.
4. Click Use .the .following .IP .address and enter an IP address that is on the same subnet as your
network or the LAN IP address on your router. Example: If LAN IP address of WNRT-625G is 192.168.0.1, make your IP address 192.168.0.X where X is a number between 2 and 99. Make sure that the numb er you choos e is not in use on the net work. Set Default Gateway the same as the LAN IP address of your router (192.168.0.1). Set Primary DNS the same as the LAN IP address of your router (192.168.0.1). The Secondary DNS is not needed or you may enter a DNS server from your ISP.
5. Click OK twice to save your settings.

2. Enter the IP address of your WNRT-625G in the address field (default IP address is
http://192.168.0.1
3. Please enter your User Name and Password in the dialog box. Default User Name and Password are both “admin”. Click OK.
4. Then you will see the WNRT-625G HOME screen as below.
