Normally, it takes 2 minutes to achieve successful Internet access. However, if you are unable to access Internet successfully after 2 minutes and your 3G modem card is included in the Compatibility List of 3G Modems (Appendix 5), then log in to the Web-based management interface to check the system status as below:

3G150B 150Mbps Portable 3G Wireless Router

If the Connection Status field displays “Disconnected”, click “Advanced Settings” > “WAN Settings”, then select your ISP (System may not automatically dialup if the device’s network environment is different from that of your 3G modem; in this case, you need to select your ISP.) from the provided list on the screen below if available, and then click the “OK” button.

If your ISP is not included in the list, please select “OTHER” and inquire your ISP for the relevant parameters, and then input and save them.

Step 1： Select your ISP from whom you applied the 3G service.

3G150B 150Mbps Portable 3G Wireless Router

And in case your ISP is not in the provided list, select “OTHER”.

Step 2: Enter the name of the AP provided by your ISP. Step 3: Enter dialup information provided by your ISP. Step 4: Enter the Username and password provided by your ISP.

For example: Provided that your ISP is not in the list, then enter “www.xlgprs.net” for Access Point Name, “*99#” for dialup, “xlgprs” for username and “proxl” for password and then click the “OK” button. For other options, just leave them blank, if your ISP has not provided you with relevant information.

Note: In 3G router mode, the device’s 3G mode LED a solid blue light.

displays

4.2 In Wireless AP Mode

The 3G150B is set to wireless AP mode by default. In this mode, as the converter between the wired and wireless sig nals, it pro vide s a central access point for wireless clients (Here the term “wireless clients” mainly refer to computers with installed wireless network adapters) and allows them to access simultaneously to the wireless network. To implement Internet connection share in this mode, simply connect the 3G150B to a broadband interface with a network cable, eliminating the trouble to configure the device, and set all such computers to “Obtain an IP address automatically”. (Normally, a broadband router on the network, which is designed with a built-in DHCP server, will assign IP addresses to such PCs).

Note: In AP mode, the device’s AP mode LED displays a

solid blue light.

4.3 In Wireless Router Mode

In wireless router mode, you can directly connect the 3G150B to broadband devices such as DSL modem, and CABLE modem or a broadband cable. To establish Internet connect ion qu ickly in this mode , firs t log in to

3G150B 150Mbps Portable 3G Wireless Router

the router’s management interface following instructions in chapter 3 and then do as follows:

4.3.1 Next to where it says “Enable Wireless Rout er ”, click on the “Yes” button.

NOTE: In Wireless Router mode, the LAN/WAN port

functions as a WAN port only. So once enabling this mode, you can only use a wireless connection (a computer with an installed wireless network adapter) to re-log in to the device’s Web-based utility (Refer to chapter 3.3). To wirelessly connect to the device, you need to set your computer to “Obtain an IP address automatically” (Refer to appendix 1) or configure a valid IP for your computer (Refer to chapter 3.1).

3G150B 150Mbps Portable 3G Wireless Router

4.3.2 Select your Internet connection type

Select the type of Internet connection you will use on your WAN connection.

A. Select ADSL virtual dialup (PPPoE)

ADSL virtual dialup is the device’s default Internet connection type. Enter the username and password provided by your ISP and click “OK”. Inquire your ISP if you forget or are not clear about this information. For example: If you are provided with pppoe_user as username and pppoe_passwd as password by your ISP, and you want to setup a wireless security key, just enter them and click “OK" to finish the settings. Note: the wireless security key can only consist of 8 characters and is 12345678 by default.
