Hardware Setup
The Business Class II High Availability Router allows you to access your net-
work using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within its operating
range. Please note that location placement of the router could affect the wire-
less signal and range limits.
Typical ranges also vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (Radio Frequency) noise
present in your networking environment.
To maximize your wireless range, please follow these guidelines:
1. Choose the right location in your environment for the 3G/4G Wireless Broadband Router. The WLAN
transmitters are radios, and degrade as they go through walls, oors, and obstacles like tubs full of water
(almost impenetrable), stone, or concrete. So for best reception, place your router centrally to the rooms
in which you expect to use WLAN the most. Each wall or ceiling can reduce the Business Class II II High
Availability Router’s range by as much as 90 feet (27 meters).
NOTE: The same considerations apply to your carrier’s 3G/4G broadband carrier’s connection.
2. Keep your product away from electrical devices (such as microwaves, air conditioners, cordless phones,
refrigerators and televisions) that emit large quantities of RFI (Radio Frequency Interference).
NOTE: DO NOT connect the Business Class II High Availability Router to power before following the in-
stallation steps below!
Business Class II High Availability Router Setup
1. ExpressCard or USB connection:
a. Insert an activated ExpressCard into the card slot.
b. Alternatively, insert an activated USB modem into the USB slot.

2(ii). Ethernet connection:
a. Insert one end of an Ethernet cable into the LAN Port on the back panel of the router. Insert
the other end into an available Ethernet port of the network adapter in the computer that will
be used to congure the unit.
b. LAN LED should be on when connected. If not, check the connection between the router
and computer.
NOTE: The Business Class II High Availability Router LAN Port is “Auto-MDI/MDIX”, so
any standard Ethernet cable will work.
3. Power connection.
a. Connect the power adapter to the receptor on the back
panel of the router. Plug the other end of the power
adapter into a wall outlet or power strip.
b. The 3G & Wi-Fi LED will turn ON and ash,
indicating that the unit is powered on. Also performing
the boot-up cycle. The LAN and WAN lights will
be on if connected.
c. The 3G/4G LED will ash and stabilize once a 3G/4G
connection is established.
d. Upon completion of the boot-up cycle, the 3G light, LAN and Wi-Fi lights will be on.
Occational ashing may occur indicating normal activity.
NOTES: An uninterruptable power supply (UPS) is recommended for power surges and/or
outages. At a minimum, a surge protector should always be used to protect the
equipment from being damaged by electrical spikes and transients.
Wi-Fi Connection
If you are connecting wirelessly to the Business Class II High Availability Router, you must
ensure that the security settings on the connecting PC are the same as those on the router.
By default, the router broadcasts a secure Wi-Fi signal with WPA-PSK* encryption:
• SSID / Wi-Fi Signal Name is set to NEXWARE### (where ### equal the last three
characters of the router’s MAC address)
• Channel is set to channel 5(2.4GHz)
• Security is set to WPA-PSK*
• Key (password) is set to password
NOTE: It is recommended, for security reasons, that the security settings on the router be
changed during initial setup.
*Please refer to your computer’s Wi-Fi adapter documentation for additional information.
2(ii). Ethernet connection:
a. Insert one end of an Ethernet cable into the LAN Port on the back panel of the router. Insert
the other end into an available Ethernet port of the network adapter in the computer that will
be used to congure the unit.
b. LAN LED should be on when connected. If not, check the connection between the router
and computer.
NOTE: The Business Class II High Availability Router LAN Port is “Auto-MDI/MDIX”, so
any standard Ethernet cable will work.

http://192.168.1.1
NOTE: If you have changed the router’s default IP address, enter that address instead of the one above.
3) Type “admin” in the Password eld. If you have changed the password, enter the new one in this
eld. NOTE: Default Username is “root”.
4) Click the “Login” button.
5) You will be greeted by the iconic home page.
Setup Wizard
Select the Setup Wizard Icon. Select the Next button to proceed with the indicated steps of the automated
setup process.
1) Change your administration password. It is recommended that the default password (admin) be replaced
for security reasons. Enter your new password and then re-enter to conrm. Select Next to retain any
changes and move to the next step.
2) Congure your Wired Internet connection.
a. During the boot up process of the
router if your wide area network (WAN)
Ethernet cable is plugged into the WAN
port of the router, the router will auto-
matically be connected to your ISP.
b. If your ISP requires you to setup the
WAN as a PPPoE or PPTP, you will
need to enter your ISP’s required infor-
mation into the proper elds.
i. PPPoE. Typical entries in-
clude the Username and Password
ii. PPTP. Typical entries in-
clude the Username, Password, and the PPTPServer Name.
3a) Congure your wireless settings.
This step allows you to change whether the Wi-Fi is enabled, the channel on which the Wi-Fi
is broadcast on, the wireless mode (b,g,n or mixed), the name that is broadcast, the security and encryption
type, and the key (password) to access the broadcasted Wi-Fi signal.

WDS: Wireless Distribution System
(WDS) is a feature that allows multiple
access points of the same physical radio
type to be bridged together as one common
WiFi network. Because the same physical
radio type must be used, this feature only
operates with other Nexaira routers. The
following conguration options are avail-
able:
• BSSID: Your router supports up to
four WDS clients. Enter the BSSID
(MAC address listed on the bottom
label of the router, also listed under
LAN on the Wired Interfaces page) of
the other devices to be connected to
via WDS.
Basics
Admin Password
You can change the router’s administrative password. (default = admin)
Wi-Fi Settings
Here you can change whether the Wi-Fi is enabled, the channel on which the Wi-Fi is broadcast on, the

Wi-Fi signal, and enable Wireless Distribution System (WDS).
• Disable only if you do not want anyone accessing the router wirelessly
.
• Change channel if other wireless devices are interfering with the router
.
• Change the router’s Wireless Mode. Choose from six settings, b, g, or n and mixes.
• Routing mode is factory set to Provide (Access Point).
• Choose to hide the ESSID.
• Change the Network Name (ESSID) to whatever name you wish to be broadcasted.
• Change security and encryption type as necessary. Some wireless devices cannot connect to all
security modes.

Wired Interfaces
Here you can review WAN, and LAN status as well as change Local Network, and WAN Ethernet settings.
• The IP address is the address of the router. It is also your local network’s gateway address which is
used by all LAN hosts to access the Internet through the WAN connection.
• The Netmask is used to determine the number of subnetworks that can be connected to the router.
• The IP Gateway (optional) eld is and advanced an optional setting that is available if your local
network has a gateway that is different than the router’s LAN IP address.
• DNS Server (optional) allows you to specify a DNS server for LAN hosts to use if your WAN
connection does not supply a valid server address, or if not-peer DNS Server information is required or
chosen under Cellular Datacard settings.
• Change WAN port into a second LAN port.
• Enable IP Passthrough mode to have one client have the WAN IP. All router functions are disabled.
• Enable or disable the router’s ability to connect to the internet through a WAN Ethernet connection.
