Connecting to the Cellular Network

On power-up, the router attempts to connect to the cellular network. The connection process typically takes a few minutes. A solid green Internet LED indicates a successful connection. For more information, see the IRG5541+ FN Router Hardware Installation Guide for details.

Fast Setup Mode

Your router is shipped in factory default mode. Fast Setup Mode provides a simple method of doing the initial setup from your PC.

1. You must set your PC to obtain an IP address automatically using DHCP.

2. Plug the PC into your router’s Ethernet interface or connect to the wireless LAN (WIFI) using the credentials printed on your router’s label.

3. When the Power LED is flashing green, use a web browser, enter http://192.168.0.1 to access your router.
   On the setup screen, select, Getting Started.
   

4. Once connected, fill in the required fields, apply changes to save and exit. Configuration changes are immediately applied to the router.

5. The router’s web configuration sign on-screen is displayed. Using the previously defined credentials from step 4, you can access your router’s complete configuration.
