Configuration

Initial Connection to the Router

This section will show you how to configure your new D-Link mobile router using the configuration utility that can be obtained through a software

interface or a web-based user interface.

When configuring the router for the first time, you will need to establish a direct connection with the router in order to access the web-based

configuration utility. This can be done using the included USB cable, or by connecting wirelessly to the DWR-730. Once you have configured your

router, you will be able to connect using the Wi-Fi settings that you have specified in the configuration process. Ensure that the router is powered

on and has sufficient battery power before commencing the setup process.

Connect via USB

To connect to the router via USB, plug the provided micro USB cable into the micro USB port on the bottom of the router, and plug the other end

into an available USB port on your computer. Your router is now ready for configuration, please refer to “Configuration Utility” on page 12 to continue

the setup process.
