Disconnect the power before you insert the SIM card/s (see below).

  1. Unscrew the screws and gently pry the SIM cover loose from the opening (see below).
  2. Align the SIM card so that the SIM card will slide into the top slot (slot#1), ensuring the SIM card connectors will be facing the router’s printed circuit board. Always populate slot#1 first.
  3. Align the SIM cover plate and secure the plate with the screws.

Connecting the Antennas

Fast Setup Mode

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

  1. Your PC must be set 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 flashes green, use a web browser and 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. These configuration changes are immediately applied to the router.
  5. The router’s web configuration sign-on screen displays. Using the previously defined credentials from step 4, you can access your router’s full configuration.
    For alternative methods of performing an initial setup, see the IRG5521+ FN Router Hardware Installation Guide.
