Installation
This section will guide you through the installation process. Placement of the router is very important. Do not place the router in an enclosed area
such as a closet, cabinet, or in an attic or garage.
1. Ensure that your DWR-953 Wireless AC750 4G LTE Router is disconnected and powered off.
2. To use your 3G / 4G Internet connection, insert a 3G / 4G SIM card into the SIM card slot on the back of the device.
3. Insert your Internet/WAN network cable into the WAN port on the back of the router.
Note:
The 3G/4G connection can also be used as a backup WAN. Once a backup is configured, the router will automatically use 3G / 4G for the
Internet connection if the Ethernet WAN is not available.
4. Insert the Ethernet cable into any LAN Port 1 on the back panel of the DWR-953 Wireless AC750 4G LTE Router and an available Ethernet port
on the network adapter in the computer you will use to configure the router.
Note:
The DWR-953 Wireless AC750 4G LTE Router LAN Ports are Auto-MDI/MDIX, so both patch and crossover Ethernet cables can be used.
5. Connect the power adapter to the socket on the back panel of your DWR-953 Wireless AC750 4G LTE Router. Plug the other end of the power
adapter into a wall outlet or power strip and turn the device on.
a. The Status LED will light up to indicate that power has been supplied to the router.
b. The LEDs on the front panel will flash on and off as the DWR-953 Wireless AC750 4G LTE Router performs initialization and Internet connection
processes.
c. After a few moments, if a connection has been established, the following LEDs will turn solid green: Power, Status, WAN, WLAN, and any LAN
Port LEDs that are connected computers or other devices.
