Section 2 - 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.

Ensure that your DWR-118 is disconnected and powered off before performing the steps below.

1. Ensure that your DWR-118 is disconnected and powered off.

2. To use your 3G / 4G Internet connection, insert a 3G / 4G USB dongle into the USB port on the top of the device.

3. To use your WAN connection, 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 the LAN Port 1 on the back panel of the DWR-118 and an available Ethernet port on the network adapter in the

computer you will use to configure the router.

Note: The DWR-118 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-118. Plug the other end of the power adapter into a wall outlet or

power strip to power the device.

a. The power 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-118 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, WAN, WLAN, and any LAN Port

LEDs that are connected to computers or other devices.
