Installation and Configuration of
the 3G39W-V
Placement of your 3G39W-V
Just like your mobile phone, the 3G39W-V’s location will affect its signal strength to the 3G Base Station (Cell Tower). The data
speed achievable from the 3G39W-V is relative to this signal strength, which is affected by many environmental factors. Please keep
in mind that the 3G39W-V will need adequate signal strength in order to provide Internet connectivity whilst choosing a location to
place your 3G39W-V.
Similarly, the wireless connection between your 3G39W-V and your Wi-Fi devices will be stronger the closer your connected
devices are to your 3G39W-V. Your wireless connection and performance will degrade as the distance between your 3G39W-V and
connected devices increases. This may or may not be directly noticeable, and is greatly affected by the individual installation
environment.
If you have concerns about your network’s performance that might be related to range or obstruction factors, try moving the
computer to a position between three to five meters from the 3G39W-V in order to see if distance is the problem.
Please note: While some of the items listed below can affect network performance, they will not prohibit your wireless
network from functioning; if you are concerned that your network is not operating at its maximum effectiveness, this
checklist may help. Please ensure that your 3G39W-V’s 3G external antenna is positioned vertically (toward the ceiling).
If you experience difficulties connecting wirelessly between your Wi-Fi Devices and your 3G39W-V, please try the following steps:
In multi-storey homes, place the 3G39W-V on a floor that is as close to the centre of the home as possible. This may
mean placing the 3G39W-V on an upper floor.
Try not to place the 3G39W-V near a cordless telephone that operates at the same radio frequency as the 3G39W-V
(2.4GHz).
Avoid obstacles and interference
Avoid placing your 3G39W-V near devices that may emit radio ‚noise,‛ such as microwave ovens. Dense objects that can inhibit
wireless communication include:
Refrigerators
Washers and/or dryers
Metal cabinets
Large aquariums
Metallic-based, UV-tinted windows
If your wireless signal seems weak in some spots, make sure that objects such as those listed above are not blocking
the signal’s path (between your devices and the 3G39W-V).
Cordless Phones
If the performance of your wireless network is impaired after considering the above issues, and you have a cordless phone:
Try moving cordless phones away from your 3G39W-V and your wireless-enabled computers.
Unplug and remove the battery from any cordless phone that operates on the 2.4GHz band (check manufacturer’s
information). If this fixes the problem, your phone may be interfering with the 3G39W-V.
If your phone supports channel selection, change the channel on the phone to the farthest channel from your wireless
network. For example, change the phone to channel 1 and move your 3G39W-V to channel 11. See your phone’s
user manual for detailed instructions.
If necessary, consider switching to a 900MHz or 5GHz cordless phone.
Choose the ‚Quietest‛ Channel for your Wireless Network
In locations where homes or offices are close together, such as apartment buildings or office complexes, there may be wireless
networks nearby that can conflict with your wireless network. Use the Site Survey capabilities found in the Wireless Utility of your
wireless adapter to locate any other wireless networks that are available (see your wireless adapter’s user manual), and switch your
Router and computers to a channel as far away from other networks as possible.
Experiment with more than one of the available channels, in order to find the clearest connection and avoid interference from
neighbouring cordless phones or other wireless devices.

System Monitor
Figure 38 - Advanced View - System Monitor Settings
The Periodic Ping Reset Monitor configures the 3G39W-V to transmit controlled ping packets to user specified IP addresses. If the
router does not receive a response to the pings the router will reboot. The purpose of this feature is to ensure recovery of the device
if the internet connection disconnects and does not reconnect for some reason.
This feature works as follows:-
Every ‚Periodic Ping Timer‛ value in seconds, the 3G39W-V sends 3 consecutive pings to the ‚Destination Address‛.
If all 3 pings fail the 3G39W-V sends 3 consecutive pings to the ‚Second Address‛.
The 3G39W-V then sends 3 consecutive pings to the ‚Destination Address‛ and 3 consecutive pings to the ‚Second
Address‛ every ‚Periodic Ping Accelerated Timer‛ seconds.
If all accelerated pings in step D fail, the 3G39W-V reboots after waiting the amount of time entered in the ‚Fail Count‛
times.
If any of the pings succeed, the 3G39W-V returns to step A and does not reboot.
Please note: The ‚Periodic Ping Timer‛ should never be set to a value less than 60 seconds; this is to allow the 3G39W-V
time to reconnect to the cellular network following a reboot.
To disable the Periodic Ping Reset Monitor simply set to ‚Fail Count‛ 0
The 3G39W-V can be configured to automatically reboot on a periodic interval specified in minutes. While this is not necessary, it
does ensure that in the case of remote installations it will reboot the 3G39W-V if some anomaly occurs.
The default value is 0 which disables the Periodic Reset Timer.
The maximum value is 65535 minutes.

FAQ
1. I cannot seem to access the web page interface
The default IP address of the unit is 192.168.20.1, so first try to open a web browser to this address. Also check that your
laptop/ PC is on the same subnet as the router’s Ethernet port.
2. The router was connected but cannot get back online
You may need to enable the periodic ping timer using the System Monitor Link from the Management Console. This
ensures that if the connection drops (i.e outage on the network) that the router will reboot after so many failed pings and
then force a re-connect. Set the timer to around 15 mins should be sufficient.
Please note: The traffic generated by the periodic ping feature is counted as chargeable usage, please keep this in mind
when selecting how often to ping.
3. Router is rebooting frequently
Check the Modem Link on the web page and see if the Periodic Reset timeout is set to something other than 0. If it is set
to 1 this means the unit will reboot every minute regardless of what happens. Reset it to 0 if you don’t want this feature or
something quite large if you don’t want the router to reboot so often.
4. Router has connection but cannot access the internet
Check that DNS Masquerade is enabled by clicking on the LAN link on the configuration interface. Make sure that DHCP
DNS server address 1 IP address is set to the same address as that of the Ethernet port.
5. I cannot seem to get a 3G WAN connection
Click on the 3G Internet Settings link on the webpage interface and check that the correct APN settings are entered.
Also check that the username and password credentials are correct if the APN in use requires these.
Make sure that Auto Connect is enabled on the PPP Profile Connect section on the Data Connection page.
Check you have suitable 3G signal strength and that your SIM is active and does not require a PIN code to be
entered.
6. The SIM status indicates that the SIM is ‚not installed or reboot required‛ on the home page
If a SIM is installed correctly this may indicate that the SIM has been removed or inserted whilst the unit is powered up. In
this case you must reboot the unit. The Reset button on the home page will reboot the router.
