This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the WAH7706.
The WAH7706 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
WAH7706
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 WAH7706 as a portal storage
device at the same time.
Your WAH7706 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 WAH7706
You can use the following way to manage the WAH7706.

Chapter 1 Introduction
Web Configurator
The Web Configurator allows easy WAH7706 setup and management using an Internet browser. This
User’s Guide provides information about the Web Configurator.
1.3 Good Habits for Managing the WAH7706
Do the following things regularly to make the WAH7706 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 WAH7706 to its factory default settings. If you backed up an
earlier configuration file, you won’t have to totally re-configure the WAH7706; 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 WAH7706.
1.5 Turn on/off the WAH7706
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 “Shut Down” displays in the OLED
screen.
1.6 OLED Display and Icons
The OLED display is enabled by default when you turn on the WAH7706. 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 or the WPS button and release
after the WAH7706 is turned on.

1.7 Resetting the WAH7706
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 1234 and the IP
address will be reset to 192.168.1.1.
1.7.1 How to Use the Physical Reset Button
1Make sure the WAH7706 is turned on.
2Remove the bottom cover and press the Reset button until the WAH7706 reboot and set the WAH7706
back to its factory-default configurations.

4.1 Overview
This chapter discusses the WAH7706’s Internet screens. Use these screens to configure your WAH7706 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.
