The Zyxel Device is an LTE (Long Term Evolution) router that supports (but not limited to) the following:
• WAN Backup (LTE3301-PLUS / LTE5388-M804 / LTE5398-M904 / LTE3316-M604)
• Gigabit Ethernet connection
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server
• NAT (Network Address Translation)
• DMZ (Demilitarized Zone)
• Port Forwarding/Triggering
• ALG (Application Layer Gateway)
• Embedded Bridge/Router mode
• Dynamic DNS (Domain Name System) for the first APN (Access Point Name)
• Static/Dynamic Route setting for RIP (Routing Information Protocol)
• Remote Management under Bridge mode
• Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
• Firewall that uses Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) technology
• Protects against Denial of Service (DoS) attacks
• Filter of LAN MAC address, LAN IP address and URLs
• Local and remote device management

LTE
• Firmware upgrade via TR-069 and Web Configurator
The embedded Web-based Configurator enables straightforward management and maintenance. Just
insert the SIM card (with an active data plan) and make the hardware connections. See the Quick Start
Guide for how to do the hardware installation, wall/pole mounting, and Internet setup.
1.2 Application for the Zyxel Device
Wireless WAN
The Zyxel Device can connect to the Internet through a 2G/3G/4G LTE SIM card to access a wireless
WAN connection. Just insert a SIM card into the SIM card slot at the bottom of the Zyxel Device.
Note: You must insert the SIM card into the card slot before turning on the Zyxel Device.
You can install two external antennas to improve your wireless WAN signal strength. See Table 1 on page
16 for the feature differences.
Wireless LAN (WiFi)
Wireless clients can connect to the LTE Device to access network resources and the Internet. Your LTE
Device supports WiFi Protected Setup (WPS), which allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with
strong security.
Internet Access
Your Zyxel Device provides shared Internet access by connecting to an LTE network. A computer can
connect to the Zyxel Device’s PoE injector or a LAN port for configuration via the Web Configurator. See
Table 1 on page 16 for the feature differences.

Ethernet WAN (LTE3301-PLUS / LTE5388-M804 / LTE5398-M904 / LTE3316-M604)
If you have another broadband modem or router available, you can use the Ethernet WAN port and
then connect it to the broadband modem or router. This way, you can access the Internet via an
Ethernet connection and still use the Firewall function on the Zyxel Device.
Note: For LTE3301-PLUS, convert LAN port number four as a WAN port first. See Section 6.4 on
page 90 for more information about the Network Setting > Broadband > Ethernet WAN
screen.
Note: For LTE5388-M804 / LTE5398-M904 / LTE3316-M604, convert LAN port number one as a
WAN port first. See Section 6.4 on page 90 for more information about the Network Setting > Broadband > Ethernet WAN screen.

1.3 Manage the Zyxel Device
Use the Web Configurator for management of the Zyxel Device using a (supported) web browser.
1.4 Good Habits for Managing the Zyxel Device
Do the following things regularly to make the Zyxel Device more secure and to manage the Zyxel
Device more effectively.
• Change the password. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists of different types of
characters, such as numbers and letters.
• Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
• Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Refer to Section 33.2 on page
266. Restoring an earlier working configuration may be useful if the Zyxel Device becomes unstable or
even crashes. If you forget your password to access the Web Configurator, you will have to reset the
Zyxel Device to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would
not have to totally re-configure the Zyxel Device. You could simply restore your last configuration.
Write down any information your ISP provides you.
