PW-3G401/PW-3G401D 3G Wireless Lite-N Router
Chapter 1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing the PW-3G401/PW-3G401D 3G Wireless Lite-N Router.
1.1 Overview of the Router
The 3G Wireless Lite-N Router delivers exceptional range and speed, which can fully meet the
need of Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) networks and the users demanding higher
networking performance.
3G/WAN Broadband Connection
The PW-3G401/PW-3G401D 3G Wireless Lite-N Router provides 3G and WAN (xDSL, static IP,
or dynamic IP) two kinds of broadband connections to get on the Internet, you can access the
Internet no matter at home or outside on business. Automatic 3G/WAN failover feature just
provide nonstop internet connection.
Incredibly High Speed
Our 3G Router provides a speed of up to 150Mbps which is 4x that of traditional 11g products,
surpassing 11G performance and enabling the use of high bandwidth-consuming applications
such as HD Videos.
Just by pressing the 'WPS' button, your router will automatically establish a WPA2 secure
connection for solid security within a minute.
QoS acts as a “bandwidth manager” to ensure that those programs that are sensitive to lag are
given as much bandwidth as possible to avoid lag. This feature makes an impression
immensely when users are streaming video or music and especially when playing online games
where lag often means “Game Over”.

Chapter 3. Quick Installation Guide
This chapter will show you how to configure the basic functions of your 3G Wireless Lite-N
Router using Quick Setup Wizard within minutes.
3.1 TCP/IP Configuration
The default IP address of the 3G Wireless Lite-N Router 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.
¾ Configure the IP address manually
1) Set up the TCP/IP Protocol for your PC. If you need instructions as to how to do this,
please refer to Appendix B: "Configuring the PC."
2) 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)
¾ Obtain an IP address automatically
1) Set up the TCP/IP Protocol in "Obtain an IP address automatically" mode on your
PC. If you need instructions as to how to do this, please refer to Appendix B:
"Configuring the PC."
2) Then the built-in DHCP server will assign IP address for the PC.
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 2000 OS.
Open a command prompt, and type ping 192.168.1.1, and then press Enter.
¾ If the result displayed is similar to Figure 3-1, it means the connection between your PC
and the Router has been established well.
-8-
PW-3G401/PW-3G401D 3G Wireless Lite-N Router
Figure 3-1 Success result of Ping command
¾ If the result displayed is similar to Figure 3-2, it means the connection between your PC
and the Router has failed.
Figure 3-2 Failure result of Ping command
Please check the connection following these steps:
1. Is the connection between your PC and the Router correct?
Note:
)
The 1/2/3/4 LEDs of LAN ports which you link to on the Router and LEDs on your PC's adapter
should be lit.
-9-
PW-3G401/PW-3G401D 3G Wireless Lite-N Router
2. Is the TCP/IP configuration for your PC correct?
Note:
)
If the Router's IP address is 192.168.1.1, your PC's IP address must be within the range of
192.168.1.2 ~ 192.168.1.254.
3.2 Quick Installation Guide
With a Web-based (Internet Explorer or Netscape® Navigator) utility, it is easy to configure and
manage the 3G Wireless Lite-N Router. The Web-based utility can be used on any Windows,
Macintosh or UNIX OS with a Web browser.
1. To access the configuration utility, open a web-browser and type in the default address
http://192.168.1.1
in the address field of the browser.

3. Click Next, and then Internet Access page will appear, shown in Figure 3-6. Select a
desired Internet access mode and then click Next. The configuration for each mode is
similar. Here we take 3G Preferred mode for example.
Figure 3-6 Choose Internet Access Mode
¾ 3G Preferred
In this mode, the router will try 3G access first. If 3G access fails and WAN access is valid,
or if no 3G USB modem is inserted, the router would switch to WAN access. Once the
router succeeds to connect to the 3G network, the router would stop the WAN connection
and switch back to 3G access immediately.
¾ 3G Only
In this mode, the router will try 3G access only. WAN access is disabled.
¾ WAN Preferred
In this mode, the router will try WAN access first. If the WAN access fails, and 3G access is
valid, the router would switch to 3G access. Once the router succeeds to connect to the
-11-
PW-3G401/PW-3G401D 3G Wireless Lite-N Router
WAN network, the router would stop the 3G connection and switch back to WAN access
immediately.
¾ WAN Only
In this mode, the router will try WAN access only. 3G access is disabled.
