Wireless Installation Considerations
The VW300 wireless router let your network using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within the operating
range of your wireless network. However, the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the
wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and
background RF noise in your home or business.
1. Router should be placed at the position with good CDMA signal.
2. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the VW300 and other network devices to a minimum-each
wall or ceiling can reduce your adaptor’s range from 1~30 meters. Position your devices so that the number of
walls or ceilings is minimized.
3. Building Materials make a difference. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative effect on
range. Try to position access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through drywall
or open doorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (fish tanks),
mirrors, file cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.
4. Keep your product away (at least 1~2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.
CDMA EV-DO Rev.A Mini Wi-Fi Hotspot VW300 series 10
5. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or X – 10 (wireless products such as ceiling fans, lights, and home
security systems), your wireless connection may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your
2.4GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even if
the phone is not in use

▶ Security Setting
Here are a few different ways you can maximize the security of your wireless network and protect your data from prying
eyes and ears. This section is intended for the home, home office, and small office user. At the time of this User Manual’s
publication, there are two encryption methods available.
[Security Using Password]
Security Type Select a Security Type from drop-down menu.
◎ None(open) & Shared
– In this mode, a wireless device must know the
WEP key to join the network.
◎ WPA-PSK & WPA-PSK2
– In this mode, Wi-Fi protected access with Pre-Shared
Key (WPA-PSK and WPA-PSK2) data encryption
provides extremely strong data security, very
effectively blocking eaves dropping. Uses a pass
phrase or key to authenticate your wireless connection.
The key is an alpha-numeric password between 8 and
CDMA EV-DO Rev.A Mini Wi-Fi Hotspot VW300 series 20
63 characters long. The password can include symbols and spaces.
Encryption Type Select an Encryption Type from drop-down menu
◎ None(open) & Shared
◎ WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
- WEP provides security by encrypting data over your wireless network so that it its protected as it is
transmitted from one wireless device to another. To gain access to a WEP network, you must know the key.
The key is a string of characters that you create. When using WEP, you must determine the level of encryption.
The type of encryption determines the key length. In this mode, this is a common protocol that adds security to
all Wi-Fi compliant wireless products. WEP was designed to give wireless networks the equivalent level of
privacy protection as a comparable wired network.
◎ WPA-PSK & WPA-PSK2 TKIP & AES
- Improved data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol(TKIP). TKIP scrambles the keys using
a hashing algorithm and, by adding an integrity-checking feature, ensures that the keys haven’t been
tampered with. WPA2 is based on 802.11i and uses Advanced Encryption Standard(AES) instead of TKIP.
3.Configuration 21
[Security using Mac Address]
The MAC address security is a powerful security feature
that allows you to specify which computers are allowed on
the network. When you use this feature, you must enter the
MAC address of each client (computer) on your network to
allow network access to each.
Policy Select a Policy from the three different modes:
◎ Open – In this mode, there is no restriction to any device connected to the Modem whether it is through Wi-Fi or
Ethernet ports.
◎ Deny – In this mode, the service table shows the client \MAC address being blocked by the Modem.
◎ Allow – In this mode, the service table shows the client MAC address allowed by the Modem.
** Note: You will not be able to delete the MAC address of the computer you are using to access the Router’s administrative functions
(the computer you are using now).
CDMA EV-DO Rev.A Mini Wi-Fi Hotspot VW300 series 22
-Traffic Control
□
▶ Port Forwarding
Using the port forwarding feature, you can allow certain types of incoming traffic to reach servers on your local
network. For example, you might make a local Web server, FTP server visible and available to the Internet. This
function will allow you to route external (Internet) calls for services such as a web server (port 80), FTP server (Port
21), or other applications through your Router to your internal network. You will need to contact the application
vendor to find out which port settings you need. To enter settings, select the Protocol from the dropdown box, you
will see a list of common applications (TCP,UCP). Select the desired applications, enter the IP address and the port
number in the space provided for the internal (server) machine and click “Add” & “Apply”.
□
▶ Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)
The DMZ feature is helpful when you using some on line WEB, FTP, Telnet, E-Mail conferencing application. The
modem is programmed to recognize some of these applications and to work correctly with them, but there are
other applications that might not function well. Incoming traffic from the internet is usually discarded by the modem
unless the traffic is a response to one of your local computers. The computer in the DMZ is NOT protected from
hacker attacks.
3.Configuration 23
□
▶ Irregular FTP
You can use this function if you wish to connect to external irregular FTP port. You can use maximum of five irregular
FTP port.
□
▶ Quality of Service (QOS)

▶ DDNS
The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static host name in any of the many domains
DynDNS.org offers, allowing your network computers to be more easily accessed from various locations on the
Internet. DynDNS.org provides this service, for up to five host names, free to the Internet community. The Dynamic
DNS service is ideal for a home website, file server, or to make it easy to access your home PC and stored files while
you’re at work. Using the service can ensure that your host name always points to your IP address, no matter how
often your ISP changes it. When your IP address changes, your friends and associates can always locate you by
visiting yourname.dyndns.org instead.
To register free for your Dynamic DNS host name, please visit http://www.dyndns.org.
Setting up the Router’s Dynamic DNS update client
You must register with DynDNS.org’s free update service
before using this feature. Once you have your registration,
follow the directions below.
▷Select “Enabled” to activate DDNS service.
▷Press “Click” button to connect DynDNS.org’s web site.
▷Enter the DynDNS.org domain name you set up with

DynDNS.org in the “Host Name” field
◎ Wildcards option: This setting enables or disables wildcards for your host.
◎ For example, if your DDNS address is VW300.dyndns.org and you enable wildcards, then x.VW300.dyndns.org
will work as well (x is the wildcard).
▷To enable wildcards, select “Use Wildcards” option.
▷Enter your DynDNS.org user name in the “User Name” field
▷Enter your DynDNS.org password in the “Password” field
▷Press “APPLY” to update your IP address
Whenever your IP address assigned by your ISP changes, the Router will automatically update DynDNS.org’s
servers with your new IP address. You can also do this manually by clicking the “APPLY” button.
□
▶ UPnP
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a technology that offers seamless operation of voice messaging, video messaging,
games, and other applications that are UPnP-compliant. Some applications require the Router’s firewall to be
configured in a specific way to operate properly. This usually requires opening TCP and UDP ports. An application
CDMA EV-DO Rev.A Mini Wi-Fi Hotspot VW300 series 32
that is UPnP-compliant has the ability to communicate with the Router, basically “telling” the Router which way it
needs the firewall configured. The Router ships with the UPnP feature disabled. If you are using any applications that
are UPnP-compliant, and wish to take advantage of the UPnP features, you can enable the UPnP feature. Simply
select “Enabled” in the “UPnP” section of the “Utility” page. Click “APPLY” to save the change.
□
▶ NAT-T
If you are using VPN, VoIP or PPTP service you can enable or disable depending on your network environment.
□
▶ Static Routing
A static IP address connection type is less common than other
connection types. This is pre-determined pathway that network
information must travel to reach a specific host or network.
If your ISP uses static IP addressing, you will need your IP address,
subnet mask, and ISP gateway address. This information is
available from your ISP or on the paperwork that your ISP left with
you.
Destination The Destination is LAN IP address of the remote network or host to which you want to assign a
3.Configuration 33
static route.
Subnet Mask This determines which portion of a Destination LAN IP address is the network portion, and which
portion is the host portion.
Gateway This is the IP address of the gateway device that allows for contact between the Router and the
remote network or host. A list of Static Routing table will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. If
you want to remove a client from the list, click “Del”
□
▶ Self-Diagnostic
In order for the gateway not to go to sleep during the long period when
activity is absent, the PING is performed on the addresses specified in
the settings field.
And in case PING does not come through any of addresses, it restart
itself the PPP session to be absent due to some reasons (gateway
failure or the session has been terminated on the operator side).
Diagnostic If you want use Self-Diagnostic function, please select “Enabled” option
CDMA EV-DO Rev.A Mini Wi-Fi Hotspot VW300 series 34
