1.1 Overview
WAH7003
This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the WAH7003.
The WAH7003 is a wireless router, which can connect to a mobile network and the Internet through
a wireless WAN connection and provide easy network access to mobile users without additional
wiring. You can set up a wireless network with other IEEE 802.11b/g/n compatible devices.
CHAPTER 1
Introduction
A range of services such as a firewall are also available for secure Internet computing.
Optionally, you can insert a micro SD card up to 32GB in size to use the WAH7003 as a portal
storage device at the same time.
Your WAH7003 is easy to install, configure and use. The embedded Web-based configurator enables
simple, straightforward management and maintenance. See the Quick Start Guide for how to make
hardware connections.
1.2 Ways to Manage the WAH7003
You can use the following way to manage the WAH7003.
Web Configurator
The Web Configurator allows easy WAH7003 setup and management using an Internet browser.
This User’s Guide provides information about the Web Configurator.

Chapter 1 Introduction
1.3 Good Habits for Managing the WAH7003
Do the following things regularly to make the WAH7003 more secure and to manage it more
effectively.
• Change the password often. 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). Restoring an earlier
working configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you
forget your password, you will have to reset the WAH7003 to its factory default settings. If you
backed up an earlier configuration file, you won’t have to totally re-configure the WAH7003; you
can simply restore your last configuration.
1.4 Hardware Connections
See your Quick Start Guide for information on making hardware connections. You need to insert a
SIM card before you can use the WAH7003.
1.5 Turn on/off the WAH7003
To turn on the device, press the power button and hold until the ZyXEL logo displays in the OLED
screen.
To turn off the device, press the power button and hold until the word “BYE” displays in the OLED
screen.
1.6 OLED Display and Icons
The OLED display is enabled by default when you turn on the WAH7003. You can check the icons
display in the OLED screen to see the connection status, battery life and signal strength.
Note: To enable or disable the OLED display, press the power button and release after the
WAH7003 is turned on.

1.7 Resetting the WAH7003
If you forget your password or IP address, or you cannot access the Web Configurator, you will need
to use the physical Reset button to reload the factory-default configuration file. This means that
you will lose all configurations that you had previously saved, the password will be reset to admin
and the IP address will be reset to 192.168.0.254.
1.7.1 How to Use the Physical Reset Button
1Make sure the WAH7003 is turned on.

2.2 Login Accounts
There are two system accounts that you can use to log in to the WAH7003: “admin” and “guest”.
These two accounts have different privilege levels. The web configurator screens vary depending on
which account you use to log in.
The admin accounts allows you full access to all system configurations. The default admin user
name is “admin” and password is “admin”.
With the guest account, you cannot access the WAN, Security and System screens except for the
System > About screen. The default username is “guest” and password is “guest”.
2.3 Access

This chapter discusses the WAH7003’s WAN screens. Use these screens to configure your
WAH7003 for Internet access.
A WAN (Wide Area Network) connection is an outside connection to another network or the
Internet. It connects your private networks, such as a LAN (Local Area Network) and other
networks, so that a computer in one location can communicate with computers in other locations.
