2. Wireless Network Configuration
For a wireless connection, the SSID, (also known as the wireless network name), and the
wireless security settings must be the same for the router and wireless computers or wireless
adapters. NETGEAR strongly recommends that you use wireless security.
The router is pre-configured with WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK mixed mode and uses a unique SSID
and passphrase. This information is printed on the label on the bottom of the router. Use this
information to setup your WiFi computer and devices.
This chapter addresses the following:
•Planning Your Wireless Network
•Manually Configure Your Wireless Settings
•Use Push 'N' Connect (WPS) to Configure Your Wireless Network
Note: Computers can connect wirelessly at a range of several hundred
feet. If you do not use wireless security, this can allow others outside
your immediate area to access your network.
Wireless Network Configuration
25
LTE Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1515
Planning Your Wireless Network
For compliance and compatibility between similar products in your area, the operating
channel and region must be set correctly.
To configure the wireless network, you can either specify the wireless settings, or you can
use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) to automatically set the SSID and implement WPA/WPA2
security.
•To manually configure the wireless settings, you must know the following:
-SSID. The default SSID for the router is NETGEAR-3G.
-The wireless mode (802.11n, 802.11g, or 802.11b) that each wireless adapter
supports.
-Wireless security option. To successfully implement wireless security, check each
wireless adapter to determine which wireless security option it supports.
See Manually Configure Your Wireless Settings on page 27.
•Push 'N' Connect (WPS) implements WPA/WPA2 wireless security on the router and your
wireless computer or device at the same time. The wireless computer or device must be
compatible with WPS.
See Use Push 'N' Connect (WPS) to Configure Your Wireless Network on page 30.
Wireless Placement and Range Guidelines
The range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based on the physical placement
of the router. The latency, data throughput performance, and notebook power consumption of
wireless adapters also vary depending on your configuration choices.
For best results, place your router according to the following guidelines:
•Near the center of the area in which your computers will operate.
•In an elevated location, such as a high shelf, where the wirelessly connected computers
have line-of-sight access (even if through walls).
•Away from sources of interference, such as microwave ovens, and 2.4 GHz cordless
phones (see Interference Reduction Table on page 105).
•Away from large metal surfaces.
•Put the antenna in a vertical position to provide the best side-to-side coverage. Put the
antenna in a horizontal position to provide the best up-and-down coverage.
•If using multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access points use different radio
frequency channels to reduce interference. The recommended channel spacing between
adjacent access points is 5 channels (for example, use Channels 1 and 6, or 6 and 11).
The time it takes to establish a wireless connection can vary depending on both your security
settings and placement. WEP connections can take slightly longer to establish. Also, WEP
encryption can consume more battery power on a notebook computer.

Wireless Security Options
Indoors, computers can connect over 802.11n wireless networks at a maximum range of up
to 300 feet. Such distances can allow others outside your immediate area to access your
network.
Unlike wired network data, your wireless data transmissions can extend beyond your walls
and can be received by anyone with a compatible adapter. For this reason, use the security
features of your wireless equipment. The LTE Broadband 11n Wireless Router provides
highly effective security features, which are covered in detail in this chapter. Deploy the
security features appropriate to your needs.
Each router is preconfigured for WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK mixed-mode, and comes with a
unique SSID and passphrase for each router.
There are several ways you can enhance the security of your wireless network:
•Restrict access based on MAC address. You can allow only trusted PCs to connect so
that unknown PCs cannot wirelessly connect to the router. Restricting access by MAC
address adds an obstacle against unwanted access to your network, but the data
broadcast over the wireless link is fully exposed.
•Turn off the broadcast of the wireless network name (SSID). If you disable broadcast
of the SSID, only devices that have the correct SSID can connect. This nullifies wireless
network “discovery” feature of some products, such as Windows XP, but the data is still
exposed.
•WEP
. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption provides data security. WEP
Shared Key authentication and WEP data encryption block all but the most determined
eavesdropper. This data encryption mode has been superseded by WPA-PSK and
WPA2-PSK.
•WPA-PSK (TKIP), WPA2-PSK (AES). Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) using a pre-shared
key to perform authentication and generate the initial data encryption keys. The very
strong authentication along with dynamic per frame re-keying of WPA makes it virtually
impossible to compromise.

Use Push 'N' Connect (WPS) to Configure Your Wireless
Network
To use Push 'N' Connect, your wireless computers or devices must support Wi-Fi Protected
Setup (WPS). Compatible equipment usually has the WPS symbol on it. WPS can
configure the network name (SSID) and set up WPA/WPA2 wireless security for the router
and the wireless computer or device at the same time.
WPS considerations:
•NETGEAR’s Push 'N' Connect feature is based on the WPS standard. All other
Wi-Fi-certified and WPS-capable products should be compatible with NETGEAR products
that implement Push 'N' Connect.
•If your wireless network will include a combination of WPS-capable devices and
non-WPS-capable devices, NETGEAR suggests that you set up your wireless network
and security settings manually first, and use WPS only for adding WPS-capable devices.
WPS Button
Any wireless computer or wireless adapter that will connect to the router wirelessly is a client.
The client must support a WPS button, and must have a WPS configuration utility, such as
the NETGEAR Smart Wizard or Atheros Jumpstart.
¾
To use the router WPS button to add a WPS client:
1. Log in to the router as described in Log In to Your Router on page 11.
Wireless Network Configuration

2. On the router main menu, select Add
WPS Client, and then click Next.
WPS
button
By default, the Push Button
(recommended) radio button is
selected.
3. Either click the onscreen button or
press the WPS button on the front of
the router.
The router tries to communicate with the client (the computer that wants to join the
network) for 2 minutes.
4. Go to the client wireless computer, and run a WPS configuration utility. Follow the utility’s
instructions to click a WPS button.
5. Go back to the router screen to check for a message.
The router WPS screen displays a message
confirming that the client was added to the
wireless network. The router generates an
SSID, and implements WPA/WPA2 wireless
security. The router will keep these wireless
settings unless you change them, or you
clear the Keep Existing Wireless Settings
check box in the Advanced Wireless
Settings/WPS Settings screen.
6. Note the new SSID and WPA/WPA2
password for the wireless network. You can
view these settings in the Wireless Settings
screen. See Manually Configure Your
Wireless Settings on page 27.
To access the Internet from any computer connected to your router, launch a browser such
as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. You should see the router’s Internet LED
blink, indicating communication to the ISP.
Note: If no WPS-capable client devices are located during the 2-minute
time frame, the SSID does not change, and no security is set up.
WPS PIN Entry
Any wireless computer or device that will connect to the router wirelessly is a client. The
client must support a WPS PIN, and must have a WPS configuration utility, such as the
NETGEAR Smart Wizard or Atheros Jumpstart.
The first time you add a WPS client, make sure that the Keep Existing Wireless Settings
check box on the WPS Settings screen is cleared. This is the default setting for the router,
and allows it to generate the SSID and WPA/WPA2 security settings when it implements
Wireless Network Configuration
32
LTE Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1515
WPS. After WPS is implemented, the router automatically selects this check box so that your
SSID and wireless security settings stay the same if other WPS devices are added later.

connect during this time, the router wireless settings do not change.
•The router WPS screen confirms that the client was added to the wireless network.
The router generates an SSID, and implements WPA/WPA2 wireless security.
6. Note the new SSID and WPA/WPA2 password for the wireless network. You can view these
settings in the Wireless Settings screen. See Manually Configure Your Wireless Settings on
page 27.
To access the Internet from any computer connected to your router, launch an Internet
browser such as Mozilla Firefox. You should see the router’s Internet LED blink.
Add Wireless Computers That Do Not Support WPS
If you set up your network with WPS, and now you want to add a computer that does not
support WPS, you must manually configure that computer. For information about how to view
the wireless settings for the router, see Manually Configure Your Wireless Settings on
page 27.
Because WPA randomly creates the SSID and WPA/WPA2 keys, they might be difficult to
type or remember (that is one reason why the network is so secure). You can change the
wireless settings so that they are easier for you to remember. If you do that, then you will
need to set up the WPS-compatible computers again.
Note: Making these changes will cause all wireless computers to be
disconnected from network. You will then have to set them up with
the new wireless settings.

Wireless Station Access Control
By default, any wireless PC configured with the correct SSID and wireless security settings is
allowed access to your wireless network. You can use wireless access point settings in the
Wireless Setting screen to further restrict wireless access to your network:
•Turn off wireless connectivity completely.
You can completely turn off the wireless portion of the router. For example, if you use
your notebook computer to wirelessly connect to your router, and you take a business
trip, you can turn off the wireless portion of the router while you are traveling. Other
members of your household who use computers connected to the router via Ethernet
cables can still use the router. To do this, clear the Enable Wireless Router Radio check
box on the Wireless Settings screen, and then click Apply.
•Hide your wireless network name (SSID).
By default, the router is set to broadcast its wireless network name (SSID). You can
restrict wireless access to your network by not broadcasting the wireless network name
(SSID). To do this, clear the Enable SSID Broadcast check box on the Wireless Settings
screen, and then click Apply. Wireless devices will not “see” your router. You must
configure your wireless devices to match the wireless network name (SSID) of the router.
Note: The SSID of any wireless access adapters must match the SSID
you configure in the router. If they do not match, you will not get a
wireless connection to the router.
Restricting Access by MAC Address
For increased security, you can restrict access to the wireless network to allow only specific
PCs based on their MAC addresses. You can restrict access to only trusted PCs so that
unknown PCs cannot wirelessly connect to the LTE Broadband 11n Wireless Router. MAC
address filtering adds an obstacle against unwanted access to your network, but the data
broadcast over the wireless link is fully exposed.
Keep Wireless Settings By default, this check box is cleared. This allows the router to
automatically generate the SSID and WPA/WPA2 security settings
when it implements WPS. After WPS is implemented, the router
automatically selects the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check
box so that your SSID and wireless security settings remain the
same if other WPS-enabled devices are added later.
Turn Access Control On Access control is disabled by default so that any computer
configured with the correct SSID can connect. See Restricting
Access by MAC Address on page 61.
Field Description

Port Forwarding and Port Triggering
Port forwarding and port triggering are advanced features that affect the behavior of the
firewall in your router. In the Port Forwarding / Port Triggering screen, you can make local
computers or servers available to the Internet for different services (for example, FTP or
HTTP), to play Internet games (like Quake III), or to use Internet applications (like
CU-SeeMe).
•Port forwarding is designed for FTP, Web server, or other server-based services. Once
port forwarding is set up, requests from the Internet are forwarded to the correct server.
•Port triggering monitors outbound traffic. When the router detects traffic on the specified
outbound port, it remembers the IP address of the computer that sent the data and
triggers the incoming port. Incoming traffic on the triggered port is then forwarded to the
triggering computer. Port triggering allows requests from the Internet only after a
designated port is triggered. Port triggering applies to chat and Internet games.

The WAN Setup fields are described in the table below.
Setting Up a Default DMZ Server
WARNING:
For security reasons, you should avoid using the default DMZ
server feature. When a computer is designated as the default DMZ
server, it loses much of the protection of the firewall, and is
exposed to many exploits from the Internet. If compromised, the
computer can be used to attack your network.
The default DMZ server feature is helpful when you are using some online games and
videoconferencing applications that are incompatible with NAT. The router is programmed to
recognize some of these applications and to work correctly with them, but there are other
applications that might not function well. In some cases, one local computer can run the
application correctly if that computer’s IP address is entered as the default DMZ server.
Incoming traffic from the Internet is normally discarded by the router unless the traffic is a
response to one of your local computers or a service that you have configured in the Ports
screen. Instead of discarding this traffic, you can have it forwarded to one computer on your
network. This computer is called the default DMZ server.
Setting Description
Disable SPI Firewall This check box is usually cleared so that the firewall protects your
LAN against port scans and denial of service attacks. This check box
should be selected only in special circumstances.
Default DMZ Server This feature is sometimes helpful when you are using some online
games and videoconferencing. Be careful when using this feature
because it makes the firewall security less effective. See Setting Up
a Default DMZ Server on page 66.
Respond to Ping on Internet If you want the router to respond to a ping from the Internet, select
this check box. This should be used only as a diagnostic tool, since it
allows your router to be discovered. Do not select this check box
unless you have a specific reason to do so.
MTU Size Maximum Transmit Unit (MTU) value. For most Ethernet networks
this is 1500 bytes, or 1492 bytes for PPPoE connections, or 1436
bytes for PPTP connections.
NAT Filtering This is set to Secured to provide a secure firewall to protect
computers on the LAN from attacks from the Internet. The Open
setting is less secure.
Disable SIP ALG Some VoIP applications do not work well with SIP ALG. Selecting
this check box might help your VoIP devices create or accept a call
through the router.

To assign a computer or server to be a default DMZ server:
1. Go to the WAN Setup screen as described in the previous section.
2. Select the Default DMZ Server check box.
3. Type the IP address for that server.
4. Click Apply to save your changes.
LAN Setup
The LAN Setup screen allows configuration of LAN IP services such as DHCP and RIP.
These features can be found under Advanced in the router main menu.
The router is shipped preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side, and to act
as a DHCP server. The router default LAN IP configuration is:
•LAN IP address. 192.168.0.1
•Subnet mask. 255.255.255.0
These addresses are part of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)–designated private
address range for use in private networks, and should be suitable in most applications. If your
network has a requirement to use a different IP addressing scheme, you can make those
changes in this screen.
Tip: If you change the LAN IP address of the router while connected through
the browser, you will be disconnected, and so will others connected to
the router. To connect to the router, you must open a new connection to
the new IP address and log in again. Others using the router must restart
their computers to connect to the router again.

allowing it to assign IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers
connected to the router’s LAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of
the router. IP addresses is assigned to the attached PCs from a pool of addresses specified
Settings Description
Device Name
LAN TCP/IP
Setup
IP Address The LAN IP address of the router.
IP Subnet Mask The LAN subnet mask of the router. Combined with the IP
address, the IP subnet mask allows a device to know which other
addresses are local to it, and which must be reached through a
gateway or router.
RIP Direction RIP (Routing Information Protocol, RFC1058 and RFC1389)
allows a router to exchange routing information with other routers.
The RIP Direction selection controls how the router sends and
receives RIP packets. Both is the default.
• When set to Both or Out Only, the router broadcasts its
routing table periodically.
• When set to Both or In Only, it incorporates the RIP
information that it receives.
RIP Version RIP Version: This controls the format and the broadcasting
method of the RIP packets that the router sends. (It recognizes
both formats when receiving.) By default, this is set for Disabled.
• RIP-1 is universally supported. RIP-1 is probably adequate for
most networks, unless you have an unusual network setup.
• RIP-2 carries more information. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M
send the routing data in RIP-2 format.
- RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting.
- RIP-2M uses multicasting.
DHCP Server

Use Router as a DHCP
Server
This check box is usually selected so that the router functions as a
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. See DHCP
Settings on page 68.
Starting IP Address Specify the start of the range for the pool of IP addresses in the
same subnet as the router.
Ending IP Address Specify the end of the range for the pool of IP addresses in the
same subnet as the router.
Address Reservation
For more information, see DHCP Settings
on page 68.
When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the
LAN, that computer receives the same IP address each time it
access the router’s DHCP server. Assign reserved IP addresses
to servers that require permanent IP settings.

in this screen. Each pool address is tested before it is assigned to avoid duplicate addresses
on the LAN.
For most applications, the default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the router are satisfactory.
Use Router as DHCP Server
If another device on your network will be the DHCP server, or if you will manually configure
the network settings of all of your computers, clear the Use Router as DHCP Server check
box on the LAN IP Setup screen. Otherwise, leave it selected.
Specify the pool of IP addresses to be assigned by filling in the Starting IP Address and
Ending IP Address fields. These addresses should be part of the same IP address subnet
as the router’s LAN IP address. Using the default addressing scheme, you should define a
range between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254, although you might want to save part of the
range for devices with fixed addresses.
The router delivers the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:
•An IP address from the range you have defined.
•Subnet mask.
•Gateway IP address is the router’s LAN IP address.
•Primary DNS server, if you entered a primary DNS address in the Basic Settings screen;
otherwise, the router’s LAN IP address.
•Secondary DNS server, if you entered a secondary DNS address in the Basic Settings
screen.
•WINS server (Windows Internet Naming Service Server) determines the IP address
associated with a particular Windows computer. A WINS server records and reports a list
of names and IP address of Windows PCs on its local network. If you connect to a remote
network that contains a WINS server, enter the server’s IP address here. This allows your
PCs to browse the network using the Network Neighborhood feature of Windows.
Reserved IP Addresses
When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that computer always
receives the same IP address each time it access the router’s DHCP server. Reserved IP
addresses should be assigned to servers that require permanent IP settings.

From the main menu, select QoS Setup to display the following screen:
Field Description
Wi-Fi Multi-media (WMM) Settings WMM (Wireless Multimedia) is a subset of the 802.11e standard. WMM
allows wireless traffic to have a range of priorities depending on the kind
of data. Time-dependent information, such as video or audio, has a higher
priority than normal traffic. For WMM to function correctly, wireless clients
must also support WMM.
Turn Internet Access QoS On If you enable QoS, the QoS function works to prioritize Internet access
traffic. For the applications that already exist in the drop-down list (e.g.,
On-line Gaming, Ethernet LAN Port, or a specified MAC address), you can
modify the priority level by clicking the Edit button, or clicking the Delete

Dynamic DNS
If your network has a permanently assigned IP address, you can register a domain name and
have that name linked with your IP address by public Domain Name Servers (DNS).
However, if your Internet account uses a dynamically assigned IP address, you will not know
in advance what your IP address will be, and the address can change frequently. In this case,
you can use a commercial Dynamic DNS service to register your domain to their IP address,
and forward traffic directed at your domain to your frequently changing IP address.
The router contains a client that can connect to a Dynamic DNS service provider. To use this
feature, you must select a service provider and obtain an account with them. After you have
configured your account information in the router, whenever your ISP-assigned IP address
changes, your router will automatically contact your Dynamic DNS service provider, log in to
your account, and register your new IP address.
WARNING:
If your ISP assigns a private WAN IP address such as 192.168.x.x
or 10.x.x.x, the Dynamic DNS service will not work because
private addresses will not be routed on the Internet.
¾
To configure Dynamic DNS:
1. From the main menu, select Dynamic DNS
to display the Dynamic DNS screen:
2. Access the website of one of the Dynamic DNS
service providers whose names appear in the
Service Provider drop-down list, and register
for an account.
For example, for dyndns.org, go to
www.dyndns.org.
3. Select the Usea Dynamic DNS Service check
box.
4. Select the name of your Dynamic DNS service provider.
5. Fill in the Host Name,User Name, and Password fields.
The Dynamic DNS service provider might call the host name a domain name. If your URL
is myName.dyndns.org, then your host name is myName. The password can be a key for
your Dynamic DNS account.
If your Dynamic DNS provider allows the use of wildcards in resolving your URL, you can
select the Use wildcards check box to activate this feature.
For example, the wildcard feature will cause *.yourhost.dyndns.org to be aliased to the
same IP address as yourhost.dyndns.org.
6. Click Apply to save your configuration.

Using Static Routes
Static routes provide additional routing information to your router. Under normal
circumstances, the router has adequate routing information after it has been configured for
Internet access, and you do not need to configure additional static routes. You must configure
static routes only for unusual cases such as multiple routers or multiple IP subnets located on
your network.
Static Route Example
As an example of when a static route is needed, consider the following case:
•Your primary Internet access is through a cable modem to an ISP.
•You have an ISDN router on your home network for connecting to the company where
you are employed. This router’s address on your LAN is 192.168.0.100.
•Your company’s network is 134.177.0.0.
When you first configured your router, two implicit static routes were created. A default route
was created with your ISP as the router, and a second static route was created to your local
network for all 192.168.0.x addresses. With this configuration, if you attempt to access a
device on the 134.177.0.0 network, your router forwards your request to the ISP. The ISP
forwards your request to the company where you are employed, and the request is likely to
be denied by the company’s firewall.
In this case you must define a static route, telling your router that 134.177.0.0 should be
accessed through the ISDN router at 192.168.0.100.
In this example:
•The Destination IP Address and IP Subnet Mask fields specify that this static route
applies to all 134.177.x.x addresses.
•The Gateway IP Address fields specify that all traffic for these addresses should be
forwarded to the ISDN router at 192.168.0.100.
•In the Metric field, a value of 1 will work since the ISDN router is on the LAN.
This represents the number of routers between your network and the destination. This is
a direct connection, so it is set to 1.
•Private is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP is activated.
¾
To configure static routes:
1. From the main menu, under Advanced, select Static Routes to view the Static Routes
screen.
Advanced
77
LTE Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1515
2. Select the radio button of the static route you want to configure.
3. Click Add or Edit to display the following screen:
4. Fill in or change the fields:
•Route Name. The route name is for identification purposes only.
•Private. Select this check box if you want to limit access to the LAN only.
The static route will not be reported in RIP.
•Active. Select this check box to make this route effective.
•Destination IP Address, and IP Subnet Mask. If the destination is a single host,
type a subnet value of 255.255.255.255.
•Gateway IP Address. This must be a router on the same LAN segment as the router.
•Metric. Type a number between 2 and 15. This represents the number of routers
between your network and the destination. Usually, a setting of 2 or 3 works, but if this
is a direct connection, set it to 2.
5. Click Apply to save your changes. If you added a static route, it is added to the Static
Routes screen.
Enabling Remote Management
Using the Remote Management screen, you can allow a user or users on the Internet to
configure, upgrade, and check the status of your router.
Tip: Be sure to change the router default password to a very secure
password. The ideal password should contain no dictionary words from
any language, and should be a mixture of letters (both upper-case and
lower-case), numbers, and symbols. Your password can be up to 30
characters.
¾
To configure Remote Management
1. Log in to the router. Type http://www.routerlogin.net in the address field of your
Internet browser. Enter admin for the user name and your password (or the default,
password).
Advanced
78
LTE Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1515
2. Under Advanced, select Remote Management:
3. Select the Turn Remote Management On
check box.
4. Specify which external addresses will be
allowed to access the router’s remote
management.
For security, restrict access to as few external
IP addresses as practical:
•To allow access from any IP address on
the Internet, select Everyone.
•To allow access from a range of IP
addresses on the Internet, select IP
Address Range. Enter a beginning and ending IP address to define the allowed
range.
•To allow access from a single IP address on the Internet, select Only This Computer.
Enter the IP address that will be allowed access.
5. Specify the port number that will be used for accessing the router menu.
Access normally uses the standard HTTP service port 80. For greater security, you can
enter a different port number. Choose a number between 1024 and 65535, but do not use
the number of any common service port. The default is 8080, which is a common
alternate for HTTP.
6. Click Apply to have your changes take effect.
When accessing your router from the Internet, type your router WAN IP address in your
Internet browser address or location field, followed by a colon (:) and the custom port
number. For example, if your external address is 134.177.0.123 and you use port number
8080, enter: http://134.177.0.123:8080. Be sure to include http:// in the address.
Universal Plug and Play
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices such as Internet appliances and computers
access the network and connect to other devices as needed. UPnP devices can
automatically discover the services from other registered UPnP devices on the network.
1. Select UPnP on the main menu to display the UPnP screen:
2. Fill in the settings on the UPnP screen:
Advanced
79
LTE Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1515
•Turn UPnP On. UPnP can be enabled or disabled for automatic device configuration.
The default setting for UPnP is enabled. If this feature is disabled, the router will not
allow any device to automatically control the resources, such as port forwarding
(mapping), of the router.
•Advertisement Period. The advertisement period is how often the router advertises
(broadcasts) its UPnP information. This value can range from 1 to 1440 minutes. The
default period is 30 minutes. Shorter durations ensure that control points have current
device status at the expense of additional network traffic. Longer durations might
compromise the freshness of the device status but can significantly reduce network
traffic.
•Advertisement Time To Live. The time to live for the advertisement is measured in
hops for each UPnP packet sent. A hop is the number of steps allowed to propagate
for each UPnP advertisement before it disappears. The number of hops can range
from 1 to 255. The default value for the advertisement time to live is 4 hops, which
should be fine for most home networks. If you notice that some devices are not being
updated or reached correctly, then it might be necessary to increase this value a little.
•UPnP Portmap Table. The UPnP Portmap Table displays the IP address of each
UPnP device that is currently accessing the router and which ports (internal and
external) that device has opened.
3. T
o save or cancel your changes or refresh the table:
•Click Apply to save the new settings to the router.

Basic Functioning
After you turn on power to the router, the following sequence of events should occur:
1. When power is first applied, verify that the Power LED is on.
2. After approximately 10 seconds, verify that:
a. The Power LED is still solid green. An amber light indicates the unit has failed its
power-on self-test (POST).
b. The Internet LED is lit.
c. The Wi-Fi radio LED is lit. The Wi-Fi radio is on by default.
d. The Ethernet LAN port LED is lit when any local ports are connected.

Troubleshooting Access to the Router Main Menu
If you are unable to access the router main menu from a computer on your local network,
check the following:
•If you are using an Ethernet-connected computer, check the Ethernet connection
between the computer and the router as described in the previous section.
•Make sure your computer’s IP address is on the same subnet as the router. If you are
using the recommended addressing scheme, your computer’s address should be in the
range of 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254.
Note: If your computer’s IP address is shown as 169.254.x.x:
Recent versions of Windows and MacOS generate and assign an IP
address if the computer cannot reach a DHCP server. These
auto-generated addresses are in the range of 169.254.x.x. If your IP
address is in this range, check the connection from the computer to
the router, and reboot your computer.
•If your router’s IP address was changed and you do not know the current IP address,
clear the router’s configuration to factory defaults. This will set the router’s IP address to
192.168.0.1. This procedure is explained in Restoring the Default Configuration and
Password on page 95.
•Make sure that your browser has Java, JavaScript, or ActiveX enabled. If you are using
Internet Explorer, click Refresh to be sure that the Java applet is loaded.
•Try quitting the browser and launching it again.
•Make sure that you are using the correct login information. The factory default login name
is admin, and the password is password. Make sure that Caps Lock is off when entering
this information.
If the router does not save changes you have made in the Web Man agement Interface,
check the following:
•When entering configuration settings, be sure to click the Apply button before moving to
another screen or tab, or your changes are lost.
•Click the Refresh or Reload button in the Web browser. The changes might have
occurred, but the Web browser might be caching the old configuration.

Troubleshooting the ISP Connection
Check these possible sources of trouble if you are having difficulty connecting to or browsing
the Internet.
Connecting to the Internet
If unable to connect to Internet, check the following:
1. The Internet account is active.
placeholder
If your ISP has provided you with
a SIM card and you haven’t
inserted it into the SIM card slot on
the back of the router yet, do so
now.
2. Wireless broadband coverage is
available where the unit is located.
3. Access the router main menu to
verify that the broadband settings
are correct. Check with your ISP if
you are unsure.
4. Check the location of the router.
a. Move the router closer to a window for better access to the Internet signal.
•A blue Signal LED indicates excellent coverage.
•A green Signal LED indicates good coverage.
•An amber Signal LED indicates marginal coverage.
•An unlighted Signal LED indicates no coverage.
b. Maintain recommended minimum distances between NETGEAR equipment and
household appliances to reduce interference (see Interference Reduction Table on
page 105).
Troubleshooting

5. Using an external antenna for improved signal strength:
b. Clear the Use Internal Antenna
check box on the Mobile
Broadband Settings screen
a. Install an external antenna.
c. Click Connect to connect to the
Internet.
(The external antenna is an
optional accessory that you

and then click Apply.
placeholder
Troubleshooting Internet Browsing
If your router can obtain an IP address but your computer is unable to load any Web pages
from the Internet:
•The traffic meter is enabled, and the limit might have been reached.
By configuring the traffic meter not to block, you can resume Internet access. If you have
an usage limit, your ISP might charge you for the overage.
•Your computer might not recognize any DNS server addresses.
A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as www
addresses) to numeric IP addresses. Typically your ISP provides the addresses of one or
two DNS servers for your use. If you entered a DNS address during the router’s
configuration, reboot your computer and verify the DNS address. Alternatively, you can
configure your computer manually with DNS addresses, as explained in your operating
system documentation.
•Your computer might not have the router configured as its TCP/IP router.
If your computer obtains its information from the router by DHCP, reboot the computer,
and verify the router address.
Troubleshooting
93
LTE Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1515
Troubleshooting a TCP/IP Network Using the Ping Utility
Most TCP/IP terminal devices and routers contain a ping utility that sends an echo request
packet to the designated device. The device then responds with an echo reply. You can
easily troubleshoot a TCP/IP network by using the ping utility in your computer.
Testing the LAN Path to Your Router
You can ping the router from your PC to verify that the LAN path to your router is set up
correctly.
¾
To ping the router from a PC running Windows 95 or later:
1. From the Windows toolbar, click the Start button, and select Run.
2. In the field provided, type ping followed by the IP address of the router, as in this example:
ping 192.168.0.1
3. Click OK.
You should see a message like this one:
Pinging <IP address> with 32 bytes of data
If the path is working, you see this message:
Reply from < IP address >: bytes=32 time=NN ms TTL=xxx
If the path is not working, you see this message:
Request timed out
If the path is not working correctly, you could have one of the following problems:
•Wrong physical connections
- Make sure that the LAN port LED is on. If the LED is off, follow the instructions in
Connecting to the Internet on page 91.
- Check that the corresponding Link LEDs are on for your network interface card
and for the hub ports (if any) that are connected to your workstation and router.
•Wrong network configuration
- Verify that the Ethernet card driver software and TCP/IP software are both
installed and configured on your PC or workstation.
- Verify that the IP address for your router and your workstation are correct and that
the addresses are on the same subnet.
Troubleshooting
94
LTE Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1515
Testing the Path from Your Computer to a Remote Device
After verifying that the LAN path works correctly, test the path from your PC to a remote
device.
1. From the Windows toolbar, click the Start button, and select Run.
2. In the Windows Run window, type:
ping -n 10 IP address
where IP address is the IP address of a remote device such as your ISP’s DNS server.
If the path is functioning correctly, replies as in the previous section are displayed. If you do
not receive replies:
•Check that your PC has the IP address of your router listed as the default router. If the IP
configuration of your PC is assigned by DHCP, this information is not visible in your PC’s
Network Control Panel. Verify that the IP address of the router is listed as the default
router.
•Make sure that the network address of your PC (the portion of the IP address specified by
the netmask) is different from the network address of the remote device.
•Check that your cable or DSL modem is connected and functioning.
•If your ISP assigned a host name to your PC, enter that host name as the account name
in the Basic Settings screen.
•Your ISP could be rejecting the Ethernet MAC addresses of all but one of your PCs. Many
broadband ISPs restrict access by allowing only traffic from the MAC address of your
broadband modem, but some ISPs additionally restrict access to the MAC address of a
single PC connected to that modem. If this is the case, you must configure your router to
clone or spoof the MAC address from the authorized PC. See the LTE Broadband 11n
Wireless Router MBR1515 Installation Guide.

Problems with Date and Time
The email screen displays the current date and time of day. The LTE Broadband 11n
Wireless Router uses the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to obtain the current time from one of
several network time servers on the Internet. Each entry in the log is stamped with the date
and time of day. Problems with the date and time function can include the following:
•Date shown is January 1, 2000.
Cause: The router has not yet successfully reached a network time server. Check that
your Internet access settings are configured correctly. If you have just completed
configuring the router, wait at least 5 minutes, and check the date and time again.
•Time is off by one hour.
Cause: The router does not automatically sense daylight savings time. On the E-mail
screen, select or clear the Adjust for Daylight Savings Time check box.
Restoring the Default Configuration and Password
This section explains how to restore the factory default configuration settings, changing the
router’s admin password to password and the IP address to 192.168.0.1. You can erase the
current configuration and restore factory defaults in two ways:
•Use the Erase feature (see Erasing the Configuration on page 52).
•Press the Restore Factory Settings button on the bottom of the router for 6 seconds. Use
this method for cases when the administration password or IP address is not known.
