To test the router when 3G is on, connect a device that has a Web browser to the
router using wireless or Ethernet as discussed above. Then check that the device's
Web browser works. If it doesn't work, check that the router is on, connected to 3G
service via a 3G modem, and connected to your device's browser via wireless or
Ethernet. If you still have problems connecting, you should run the Setup Wizard that's
in the router's Configuration Manager. See
information.

Changing the Router's Default Values

Your Zoom 3G Wireless-N Router is preset with default values that meet the needs of
most users. However, you can change these settings by using the router's built-in
Configuration Manager. Here are some reasons why you might want to use the
Configuration Manager:
•
You want to change wireless n/g/b settings to, for instance, enable wireless
security.
•
You want to connect the router to your ADSL or cable modem. You can do
this while using your 3G modem as a backup Internet connection, or you can
do it without a 3G modem plugged in.
•
You do not want your 3G connection to be on whenever the 3G modem is
plugged into the router. The default value is Auto Reconnect (always on). You can
change the default value and specify when to begin (and end) a session.
•
You want to change router settings to, for instance, establish a firewall to
guard against unauthorized access to your network.
•
You want to back up router settings that you made using the Configuration
Manager.
To use the Configuration Manager, please follow these steps:
1
Connect the supplied Ethernet cable to the Ethernet ports on the router and computer.
2
In the computer's Web browser address bar, type http://192.168.1.1 and then click Enter.
When the USER'S MAIN MENU opens, it displays a Status page that lists the current
values for a variety of settings.
3
On the window's Toolbar, type admin in the System Password field, then click Login.
4
When the ADMINISTRATOR'S MAIN MENU opens, click Wizard or Advanced on the Toolbar.
•
Select Wizard if you are unfamiliar with network settings and configuration. The
program will guide you through the process.
•
Select Advanced if you are a network administrator or experienced setting up
wired and wireless networks and configurations. For Advanced users, the
Configuration Manager offers Basic Settings, Forwarding Rules, Security Settings,
Advanced Settings, or Toolbox) configuration menus. Click a menu to open the
configuration page for those settings, then select an option or enter new
