cable/DSL modem.

Via 3G network: make sure that your 3G broadband service provided by your local
ISP/operator is available, then insert the 3G USB modem into the USB Modem Port when the
router is powered off.
-
Via cable/DSL modem: connect your cable/DSL modem to the WAN Port of the router via an
Ethernet cable.
3)
Adjust the antennas to upright direction.

Connect your PC to the LAN Port of the router via the Ethernet cable included in the package.
