If you have difficulty connecting to the Internet when your phone or tablet is plugged into

the Zoom router, verify that you can browse the Internet with your phone or tablet
directly connected to a PC. If you can't browse with the phone or tablet connected
directly to a PC, contact your wireless service provider for help. If you can connect

Non-Android Smartphone or Tablet users should go to Connecting a Modem or non-Android
Smartphone or Tablet to Your Router. Android users should continue below.
Connecting an Android based Smartphone or Tablet to your Router
If you are using an Android based smartphone, you should check whether your phone is already
supported; and if not, you should download the ZoomTether application. To check whether your
Android phone is already supported, please go to www.zoomtel.com/router/comp and click on the
Check Smartphone Compatibility link. If your phone is listed on the compatibility list, you do not
need to download the ZoomTether application. If you phone is not listed specifically on this page or if
you have an Android based tablet with mobile broadband capability, please go to
www.zoomtel.com/ztdownload to download ZoomTether into your Zoom Router. Then when you
plug your Android smartphone or tablet into the router, the router will install an application on your
phone or tablet that allows tethering to work. The website provides directions on how to install and
configure your router to use this code.
If your router is now working with your Android smartphone or tablet, you should jump to Changing
the Router's Default Values. Otherwise jump to Troubleshooting.
