Hardware Installation for Connection to An Existing Router

Your existing Router may have the same default IP address (192.168.0.1) as your new T-Mobile router. If this is
the case, the T-Mobile router's IP address will change to 192.168.24.1.
1. Power down your network devices. Now you will begin the hardware installation of router.
2. Locate an optimum location for the Router. The best place for the router is usually at the center of your
wireless network, with line of sight to all of your mobile stations.
3. Fix the direction of the antennas. Try to place the Router in a position that will best cover your wireless
network. Normally, the higher you place the antenna, the better the performance will be.
4. Connect a standard Ethernet network cable to the T-Mobile router's Internet port. Then, connect the other end
of the Ethernet cable to one of the numbered Ethernet ports on your existing router.
