This Quick Start provides basic information for using your Zoom Wireless-N router.
Package Contents
The package contains the Zoom Wireless-N Router, an RJ-45 Ethernet cable, a 5V 1.2A power
adapter, this Quick Start flyer, and a CD that contains additional documentation and warranty
information. If anything is missing or damaged, please contact Zoom Customer Support or whoever
provided the Router.
System Requirements
Any DSL or cable modem or modem/router that has an Ethernet port should work with the Wireless-
N Router. The Wireless-N Router also works with many but not all mobile broadband USB modems
and smartphones. For an up-to-date list of modems and smartphones known to be compatible with
the Router and/or to download the latest firmware, please go to www.zoomtel.com/router/comp.
We attempt to support all popular mobile broadband (such as LTE, 4G, 3G) USB modems and
smartphones, but this is challenging because new ones are introduced almost every day. If you'd like
to let us know about a mobile broadband modem or smartphone that is incompatible with the router,
please send an email to 3gcomp@zoomtel.com
You can even use your mobile broadband modem as a backup to your DSL or cable modem. If the
DSL or cable Internet connection fails, the Router can be set up to automatically switch over to
mobile broadband for Internet access.
Connecting a DSL or Cable Modem to Your Router
If you wish to use the router with a DSL or Cable connection, please go to Chapter 2: Using the
Configuration Manager in the full length User Manual on your CD or our website.
Connecting a Smartphone or a Tablet to Your Router
If you are using the router with a mobile broadband USB modem please go to Connecting a Modem
or non-Android Smartphone or Tablet to Your Router, otherwise if you are using a smartphone or
tablet please read the information below before continuing.
If you are considering using the router with a tethered phone or tablet, please
consider the following:
Some service providers do not want you to connect your mobile phone or tablet to a
Ø
computer or router unless you have signed up for a data plan that allows data tethering.
These plans are commonly called Data Tethering, Mobile Broadband Connect, 3G
Mobile Hotspot, Phone as a Modem, or Laptop Connect.

WiFi or Bluetooth
