1 Installing the 3G Wireless-N Travel Router Package Contents The Zoom 3G Wireless-N Travel Router package contains the Zoom 3G Wireless-N Travel Router, a Li-ion battery, an RJ-45 Ethernet cable, a 5V 2.0A Power adapter, a Quick Start installation manual, and a CD that contains additional documentation and warranty information. If anything is missing or damaged, please contact Zoom Customer Support or your retailer or distributor.
Powering Your Router If the Zoom 3G Wireless-N Travel Router’s battery is charged, you can use the router without plugging it into AC power. After being fully charged, the battery will typically power the 3G router for 3 hours or more, depending on how actively you’re using 3G and wireless n/g/b. When you’re not using the router, you should switch it OFF. Using AC Power To use AC power, plug the router’s power cube into an AC outlet and into the POWER jack on the back of the router.
Using Your Router with a 3G Modem or Other Devices 1 Plug your 3G USB modem into the router's USB port. 3G modem plugged into USB port 2 Optionally, connect the power adapter to the POWER jack on the back panel of your router and plug the other end of the power adapter into a wall outlet or power strip. ON/OFF switch POWER jack Note: If the battery is charged, you have the option of using the router without the power adapter. 3 Turn ON the router's power switch, located on the rear panel.
4 5 A computer, mobile phone, game station, or other device with wireless 802.11n, g, or b capability can access the Internet wirelessly through the 3G router. The router comes set up for wireless with no security. If that’s okay, you simply need to go to the wireless network setup in your device, and there you need to attach to the Zoom network.

TIP: Other wireless networks might be within range of your network. Your neighbors, for instance, may be within range. If possible, there should be at least a five-channel difference between your network and neighboring networks with strong signals. Having less than a five-channel difference may result in interference with your connection.
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK Authentication We recommend this setting if all devices on your network support either WPA or WPA2. Your router will automatically detect whether is should use WPA or WPA2. When you select WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK from the Authentication dropdown menu, the Encryption field expands, as shown in the following figure. Field Entry Authentication Accept WPA-PSK/WPA2 PSK as the default value.
Field Entry Authentication Select WEP Encryption Select WEP If all the wireless devices in the network are Zoom products, select Hex. Otherwise, select ASCII. Although Zoom products support both Hex and ASCII, we recommend using Hex. Encryption WEP Key 1, 2, 3, 4 If you selected Hex format and you chose a 128-bit key length, 26 hexadecimal values are required. Write the 26-hexadecimal key in the space below for future reference, and then enter it in the Key 1 box.

4 Wireless and Wireless Security Setup Your 3G Wireless-N Travel Router's default (factory) settings provide no wireless network security. If you don't want unauthorized wireless access to your network, we recommend that you enable wireless network security. To do this, you'll need to configure the router and each device on your network for the level of security that you want. Before setting up wireless security you must decide which method to use.
Method Two Use this method if your client device already has a WPS PIN number. The client is the Enrollee. 1 If you haven't already done so, open a Web browser and type http://192.168.1.1 in the address bar. 2 When the Configuration Manager launches, log in as admin, then select Advanced > Basic Settings > Wireless to open the Wireless Setup page. 3 Click the WPS Setup button to open the Wi-Fi Protected Setup page. 4 Select PIN Code from the Config type dropdown menu.
Configuring Wireless Security Manually WPA2/WPA Configuration Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an encryption method that offers a stronger security standard than WEP. Important! If you choose to configure your router using either WPA2 or WPA encryption, then you must configure all devices on your wireless network with the same WPA encryption method and shared key. You can configure WPA2 or WPA encryption using the Wireless Setting Page of the Configuration Manager's Advanced program.
Field Entry Wireless Mode Accept the default, B/G/N mixed if the client devices on your network use various wireless standards. Otherwise, select the wireless standard used by all wireless devices on your network. Having a single standard will speed up the wireless throughput. Authentication Select WPA-PSK/WPA2 PSK if your devices support both authentication methods. Optionally, select WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK if all devices on your network support only one of the authentication methods.
Field Entry Wireless Module Accept the default, Enable. Click the Disable checkbox only if you do not want wireless clients to access your network. Network ID (SSID) Refers to the Service Set Identifier for your device. By default, the SSID for the 3G Wireless-N Travel Router is Zoom. You can change the SSID to a name of your choice. The SSID can be up to 32 alphanumeric characters. If you change the name, make sure that all devices on your network use the new SSID as the access point.
Click the WPS Setup button to launch the WPS program. Please refer to WPS Configuration on page 25 for more information.
5 Using the Configuration Manager's Advanced Program Most users will not need to manually set up their router but if you do, you can use the Configuration Manager's Advanced program to change the router's default settings.

The Virtual Server Page You can use the Virtual Server page to configure a virtual server. Because your router's firewall filters out unrecognized packets to protect your network, all computers behind this product are invisible to the outside world. If you want, you can make some of them accessible by enabling Virtual Server mapping. A virtual server will allow access to your computer on certain ports. A port is like a channel that is used by applications (such as games) to communicate on.
Schedule Rule and Rule Setting Pages on page 52 for more information. For example, if you have an FTP server (port 21) at 192.168.1.5, a Web server (port 80) at 192.168.1.6, and a game at 192.168.1.7, then you need, at minimum, to specify the following mapping.
