Hardware Installation
Connecting a cable modem to the 22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Router.
Connecting a DSL modem to the 22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Router.
Connecting an analogue or ISDN modem to the 22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Router.
Connecting a cable modem to the 22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Router
- Connect your modem to the 22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL
Router
Turn off your PC and your cable modem.
Attach both antennae to the 22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Router.
Locate the Ethernet cable from your cable modem that is connected to your PC’s Ethernet adapter.
Disconnect that Ethernet cable from your PC’s Ethernet adapter, and connect it to the WAN port on the rear of the 22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Router.
Note: Some cable modems can be connected using both a USB cable and an Ethernet cable. To connect your cable modem to the 22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Router, you must use an Ethernet cable.
- Connect your 22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Router to
your computer and the power supply
To make a Wireless connection: To make a Wireless connection: Make sure each wireless card that will be connected to the network is set to Infrastructure mode. If necessary, refer to your Wireless Card manual to determine how to change this setting.
To make an Ethernet connection: Connect one end of the supplied Ethernet cable to your PC's Ethernet adapter. Connect the other end to one of the LAN ports on the 22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Router.
All users: Turn on your cable modem. Connect the included power adapter to the power socket on the 22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Router. Plug the power adapter into a standard power outlet. Turn on your PC.
- Configure the basic connection settings
Cable modem users: If you use a login application to connect to the Internet, refer to Appendix A in the Appendixes chapter of this guide.
If you do not use a login application to connect to the Internet or if you have already configured the 22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Router, launch a Web browser and go to www.usr.com. If the page loads, you are finished with the installation procedure.
Note: Refer to the “Configuring the 22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Router” section in this guide for more detailed configuration information. Contact your ISP if you have any questions about your WAN type or your connection information.
Congratulations!
The installation procedure is now complete. You should now have secure and shared Internet access. To verify your connection, launch a Web browser and go to www.usr.com. If the page loads, you are finished with the installation procedure.
If you have any difficulties connecting to the 22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL
Router, check the following top three issues and see if they apply to
your situation.
- If you are attempting to create a wireless connection but cannot connect
to the 22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Router, make sure each wireless card
is set to Infrastructure mode. If the wireless cards are set
to 802.11b AdHoc mode, you will not be able to connect to the
22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Router. When each wireless card is set to
Infrastructure mode, it should automatically connect to the access
point of the 22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Router. When you first set up
the 22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Router, it may take a few moments for
your wireless cards to detect the access point. If they do not automatically
connect, rescan until they will detect it and connect. If you continue
to have problems, refer to the “Troubleshooting”
chapter of this guide.
- If you create a wireless connection to the 22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL
Router but are experiencing poor link quality, check the positioning
of the 22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Router. Long distances, multiple floors,
steel or concrete walls, or other wireless devices can diminish the
link quality. If possible, reposition the 22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL
Router to reduce the effect of any of these obstacles.
- If you have the 22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Router properly connected and can access the Internet but are experiencing difficulties connecting with special applications (i.e. ICQ, Battle.net, etc.), you must assign specific ports. This will allow the special applications to pass through the firewall function of the 22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Router. For more information about how to configure this function, refer to the “Special Applications” section within the “Configuring the 22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Router” chapter of this guide.
If you are still experiencing any difficulties, proceed to the “Troubleshooting” section of this guide.

The following graphic is a representation of your system topology after
the installation of the
22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Router.
Connecting an Analogue or ISDN modem to the 22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Router
There are two main reasons why you would want to use either an analogue
or ISDN modem
with the 22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Router:
- You use dial-up Internet service instead of cable or DSL Internet service.
- You have cable or DSL Internet service but want to have an analogue or ISDN backup in case your broadband Internet service is unavailable.
Perform the following steps to connect an analogue or ISDN modem, manually
change the WAN
type, and properly configure the 22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Router:
- Connect your modem to the 22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL
Router
Turn off your PC and your analogue or ISDN modem.
Attach both antennae to the 22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Router.
Locate the serial modem cable from your analogue or ISDN modem that is connected to your PC’s serial port.
Disconnect that serial modem cable from your PC’s serial port, and connect it to the COM port on the 22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Router.
Note: If your analogue or ISDN modem is connected to your PC using a USB cable, disconnect the USB cable from both your PC and from your analogue or ISDN modem.
- Connect your 22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Router to
your computer and the power supply

All users: Turn on your analogue or ISDN modem. Connect the included power adapter to the power socket on the 22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Router. Plug the power adapter into a standard power outlet. Turn on your PC.
- Configure the basic connection settings
Analogue or ISDN modem users: Launch a Web browser. In the location or address line of your Web browser, type http://192.168.123.254 to access the Configuration Utility. There is no default password for the 22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Router, so just click Log in. Click WAN, Change, and then select the WAN type as Dial-up Modem. You will need to enter the network information for your ISP account, including your user name, your password, and your dial-up number. When you are finished, click Save.
To verify your connection, click Connect in the Status page to initiate a dial-up session with your ISP. The Status page will indicate whether or not the call was successful. If the settings are correct, the analogue or ISDN modem can be used to connect to the Internet. If the connection fails, verify that you entered the correct values and try again.
Note: Refer to the “Configuring the 22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Router” section in this guide for more detailed configuration information. Contact your ISP if you have any questions about your WAN type or your connection information.
