3G/4G Wireless N Router User Guide
Quality of Service-Qos
Wi-fi Protected Setup
Incredibly High Speed
3G/4G and WAN Broadband
Chapter 1. Introduction
1.1 Overview of the Router
TP-LINK understands the need for sharing the 3G/4G connection locally that benefits our end
users. We realize the convenience with our latest wireless N 3G/4G Routers ----- they give you
the freedom to quickly set up a stable and high speed wireless network, up to 150Mbps,
on-the-go and share a 3G/4G connection. By connecting a LTE/HSPA/UMTS/EVDO USB Card
to the Router, a Wi-Fi hotspot is instantly established allowing users to share a Internet
connection anywhere 3G/4G coverage is available. So whether you’re on the train, camping, or
at a construction site, you’ll have a reliable wireless connection to accommodate your
networking needs.
The TL-MR3220 3G/4G Wireless N Router provides 3G/4G and WAN (xDSL, static IP, or
dynamic IP) two kinds of broadband connections to get on the Internet, you can via the Internet
no matter at home or outside on business. Automatic 3G/4G and WAN failover feature just
provide nonstop internet connection.
TP-LINK 3G/4G Router provides up to 150Mbps, faster than that of traditional 11g products,
surpasses 11G performance enabling the use of high bandwidth-consuming applications such
as HD Videos.
With just pressing on the 'WPS' button, the Router automatically establishes a WPA2 secure
connection for solid security in under 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”.
1.2 Conventions
The Router or TL-MR3220 mentioned in this guide stands for TL-MR3220 3G/4G Wireless N
Router without any explanation.
1.3 Main Features
One 10/100M Auto-Negotiation RJ45 WAN port, four 10/100M Auto-Negotiation RJ45 LAN
ports, supporting Auto MDI/MDIX

Chapter 3. Quick Installation Guide
This chapter will show you how to configure the basic functions of your 3G/4G Wireless N
Router using Quick Setup Wizard within minutes.
3.1 TCP/IP Configuration
The default IP address of the 3G/4G Wireless N Router is 192.168.0.1. 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.
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 192.168.0.xxx ("xxx" is any number
from 2 to 254), Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0, and Gateway is 192.168.0.1 (The Router's
default IP address)
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.
3.2 Quick Installation Guide
With a Web-based (Internet Explorer or Netscape® Navigator) utility, it is easy to configure and
manage the 3G/4G Wireless 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://192.168.0.1 in the address field of the browser.

Figure 3-4 Choose Internet Access Mode
3G/4G Preferred
In this mode, the Router will try 3G/4G access first. If 3G/4G access fails and WAN
access is valid, or if no 3G/4G USB modem is inserted, the Router would switch to WAN
access. Once the Router succeeds to connect to the 3G/4G network, the Router would
stop the WAN connection and switch back to 3G/4G access immediately.
3G/4G Only
In this mode, the Router will try 3G/4G access only. WAN access is disabled.
WAN Preferred
In this mode, the Router will try WAN access first. If the WAN access fails and 3G/4G
access is valid, the Router would switch to 3G/4G access. Once the Router succeeds to
connect to the WAN network, the Router would stop the 3G/4G connection and switch
back to WAN access immediately.
WAN Only
In this mode, the Router will try WAN access only. 3G/4G access is disabled.
