Overview
The NetComm 3G25W-R integrates a Wireless LAN and 3G WAN into
one unit. Connection to the Internet is achieved through either a 3G
service or via a fixed line xDSL/Cable/Satellite connection to the
3G25W-R’s WAN port, providing you with the flexibility to choose how
you access the Internet. The 3G25W-R’s automatic failover ensures
you are always connected by activating the 3G connection should the
xDSL/Cable/Satellite connection drop out.
Users are able to share a single 3G connection via both a wired and
wireless connection to the 3G25W-R. With a built in 802.11n wireless
access point, this router provides wireless speeds of up to 150Mbps,
150% faster than 11g technology¹. On top of this, the 3G25W-R has
four LAN ports for wired connections to multiple devices. Rather than
being restricted to certain USB modems, the 3G25W-R allows the
user to simply insert an active SIM and utilise 3G Mobile Broadband
for internet connectivity.
The 3G25W-R includes advanced security features such as VPN
pass-through, a full complement of wireless security options and a
built in firewall.
1 Maximum wireless signal rate and coverage values are derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g and
802.11n Draft 2.0 specifications. Actual wireless speed and coverage are dependent on network and
environmental conditions included but not limited to volume of network traffic, building materials and
construction/layout.
3G25W-R Features:
Powerful wireless router with support for 3G Mobile Broadband
Creates instant Wireless hotspots to share the Internet
connection of a 3G USB modem or DSL/Cable modem

Restoring Factory Defaults
This feature will reset the Router to its factory default configuration. Occasions may present
themselves where you need to restore the factory default settings on your router. Typical
situations are:
You have lost your password and unable to login to the router;
You have purchased the router from someone else and need to reconfigure the
device.
You are asked to perform a factory reset by a member of the excellent NetComm
Support Staff.
In order to restore your router to its factory default settings, please follow these steps:
Ensure that the router is powered on (for at least 20 seconds).
Use a paper clip or a pencil tip to depress the reset button for ten seconds and
release. At this point, the reset is in progress. Do not power off the unit at this point.
After the router reboots, the default settings are now restored. This entire process
takes several minutes to complete.
Once you have reset the router to its default settings you will be able to access the
device’s web configuration using http://192.168.1.1 with password “admin”.

Remote Administrator Host/Port
In general, only Intranet users can browse the built-in web pages to perform administration task. This feature enables you to perform administration tasks from a
remote host. If this feature is enabled, only the specified IP address can perform remote administration. If the specified IP address is 0.0.0.0, any host can connect
to the router to perform administration tasks. You can use subnet mask bit (/nn) notation to specify a group of trusted IP addresses for example, "10.1.2.0/24".
NOTE: When Remote Administration is enabled, the web server port will be shifted to 80. You can also change the web server port.
Discard PING from WAN side
When this feature is enabled, your router will not respond to ping requests from remote hosts.
DoS Attack Detection
When this feature is enabled, the router will detect and log where the DoS attack comes from on the Internet. Currently, the router can detect the following DoS
attack types: SYN Attack, WinNuke, Port Scan, Ping of Death and Land Attack, as well as others.

AppendixA:
WANFailover
The WAN failover feature of the 3G25W-R is designed to provide a backup WAN connection in case your primary connection should fail. To use this feature, you
will require both a regular WAN connection and a 3G WAN connection.
Please follow these steps to set up WAN failover on your 3G25W-R.
1. Set up a primary (non-3G) WAN connection by following the steps outlined in the Basic Setting > Primary Setup section of the User Guide.
2. Set up a secondary (3G) WAN connection by following the steps outlined in the Basic Setting > Primary Setup section of the User Guide.
3. Open your web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer/Firefox/Safari) and navigate to http://192.168.1.1/.
4. At the login screen, type in “admin” (without quotes) in the System Password field. Then click on Login.
5. Navigate to the Basic Setting > Primary Setup page. Select the Activate WWAN for Auto-Failover checkbox and enter a public IP address (for example
‘www.google.com’) into the remote host for keep alive box. The 3G25W-R will periodically check that it can connect to this address to determine if the WAN
connection is still running.
6. In Basic Setting > Primary Setup, make sure that the selected WAN Type is your primary (non-3G) WAN connection and click Save. You are now ready to use
the internet connection as normal.
7. When your primary (non-3G) WAN connection fails, the 3G25W-R will automatically failover to the secondary (3G) WAN connection. Please allow up to 2
minutes for this change to occur.
8. When your primary (non-3G) WAN connection reconnects, the 3G25W-R will automatically revert to this connection. Please allow up to 2 minutes for this change
to occur.
9. To confirm that the process in Step 8 is complete, refresh the status page of the web interface after 1 minute.

AppendixC:Troubleshooting
UsingLEDstoDiagnoseProblems
The LEDs are useful aides for finding possible problem causes.
Power LED
The Power LED does not light up.
StepCorrect Action
1Make sure that the 3G25W-R power adaptor is connected to the device and plugged in to an appropriate power
source. Use only the supplied power adaptor.
2Check that the 3G25W-R and the power source are both turned on and device is receiving sufficient power.
3Turn the 3G25W-R off and on.
4If the error persists, you may have a hardware problem. In this case, you should contact your vendor.
WebConfiguration
I cannot access the web configuration.
STEPS CORRECTIVE ACTION
Step Correct Action
1 Make sure you are using the correct IP address of the 3G25W-R. Check the IP address of the device.
2 Check that you have enabled web service access. If you have configured a secured client IP address, your computer’s
IP address must match it.
3 Your computer’s and the 3G25W-R’s IP addresses must be on the same subnet for LAN access.
4 If you changed the devices WLAN IP address, then enter the new one as the URL.
S The web configuration does not display properly.
Step Correct Action
1 Delete the temporary web files and log in again. In Internet Explorer, click Tools, Internet Options and then
click the Delete Files ... button. When a Delete Files window displays, select Delete all offline content and
click OK. (Steps may vary depending on the version of your Internet browser.)
CORRECTIVE ACTION
LoginUsernameandPassword
I forgot my login username and/or password.
S
Step Correct Action
1 If you have changed the password and have now forgotten it, you will need to upload the default configuration file.
This will erase all custom configurations and restore all of the factory defaults including the password.
2 Press the Reset button for ten seconds, and then release it. When the LINK LED begins to blink, the defaults have
been restored and the 3G25W-R restarts.
3 The default username is “admin”. The default password is “admin”. The Password and Username fields are case-
sensitive. Make sure that you enter the correct password and username using the proper casing.
4 It is highly recommended to change the default username and password. Make sure you store the username and
password in a save place.
S CORRECTIVE ACTION
WLANInterface

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the
GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make
sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software
Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your
programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed
to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish),
that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to
surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the
software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all
the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must
show them these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal
permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no
warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to
know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
authors' reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that
redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To
prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying
it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such
program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under
copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications
and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term
"modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its
scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its
contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium,
provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and
disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and
give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty
protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the
Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you
also meet all of these conditions:
You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date
of any change.
You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from
the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this
License.
If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started
running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an
appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and
that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your
work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from
the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License,
and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute
the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be
on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each
and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather,
the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on
the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this
License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable
form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed
under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more
than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding
source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for
software interchange; or,
Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code.
(This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code
or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable
work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface
definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special
exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or
binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the
executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering
equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even
though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License.
Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate
your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License
will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you
permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do
not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program),
you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or
modifying the Program or works based on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives
a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions.
You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not
responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited
to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict
the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so
as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a
consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-
free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only
way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the
section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply
in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest
validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software
distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous
contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of
that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other
system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted
interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit
geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this
License.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time
to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new
problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License
which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that
version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version
number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are
different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software
Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be
guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the
sharing and reuse of software generally.
NO WARRANTY
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE
PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN
WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS"
WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE
ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR
CORRECTION.
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY
COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM
AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA
BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF
THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY
HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
