Introduction
NETCOMM GATEWAY SERIES - NetComm 3G29WN – Dual ADSL2+ / 3G Gateway
Introduction
Your Dual ADSL2+ / 3G Gateway
Congratulations on your purchase of a NetComm 3G29WN – Dual ADSL2+ / 3G Gateway. This product is a high-performance ADSL2+
Modem Router combined with a HSPA+ module that provides high-speed wireless N networking and Internet connectivity for your
home, office or public space.
The NetComm 3G29WN gives you the option to plug directly into an ADSL service or connect with 3G by inserting a 3G SIM card to
deliver Internet. The choice is yours. Both methods will allow you to share your Internet connection amongst multiple users with either
the 4 LAN ports for wired connections or via high-speed Wireless N.
The 3G29WN also allows for a HSPA+/3G Mobile Broadband connection (provided by a SIM card) to act as a backup Internet
connection to your fixed line service, providing automatic Internet failover to 3G in the event that the ADSL service fails. Should you have
access to both connection methods, the 3G29WN will ensure you are “always on” which is vital to some individuals and business that
perform Internet based critical operations.
The USB port is able to be used for the purpose of printing and a mass storage server. By simply plugging in a USB printer or a USB
hard drive to the router, the functionality of these products will be able to be shared with everyone connected to the 3G29WN.
The 3G29WN features the latest standards of wireless security enabled by default on each router. An advanced firewall and VPN
pass-through functionality allows for maximum security and caters for the encrypted Point-to-Point communications from connected
computers through the 3G29WN to a VPN Server.
The Port Forwarding and UPnP functionality provided by the 3G29WN make it easier for today’s Internet users to setup and configure
the various network Port Forwarding Rules needed by Internet applications such as On-Line Gaming, Peer-To-Peer file sharing and
Instant Messaging services.

Placement of your Dual ADSL2+ / 3G Gateway
When Connecting With 3G
Just like your mobile phone, the location of the 3G29WN will affect its signal strength to a 3G Mobile Base Station (Cell Tower). The
data speed achievable is relative to this signal strength, which is affected by many environmental factors. Please keep in mind that the
3G29WN will need adequate signal strength in order to provide Internet connectivity whilst choosing a location to place your Router.
Similarly to the 3G connection, the wireless connection between the Router and your WiFi devices will be stronger the closer your
connected devices are to your Router. Your wireless connection and performance will degrade as the distance between your Router and
connected devices increases. This may or may not be noticeable, and is greatly affected by the individual installation environment.
If you have concerns about your network’s performance that might be related to range or obstruction factors, try moving the computer
to a position between three to five meters from the Router in order to see if distance is the problem. If difficulties persist even at close
range, please contact NetComm Technical Support.
Note:
While some of the items listed below can affect network performance, they will not prohibit your wireless network from functioning; if you are concerned that your
network is not operating at its maximum effectiveness, this checklist may help.
Router placement
• Place your Router as close as possible to the centre of your wireless network devices to achieve the best wireless network
coverage for all your “wireless clients” (i.e., computers with built in or USB Wireless Adapters, Laptops with Built-in Wireless,
Wireless PDA / iPhone, etc)
• Ensure that your Router’s antennas are parallel to each other, and are positioned vertically (toward the ceiling). If your Router itself
is positioned vertically, point the antennas in an upward direction as much as possible.
• In multi-storey homes, place the Router on a floor that is as close to the centre of the home as possible. This may mean placing
the Router on an upper floor.
• Try not to place the Router near a cordless telephone that operates at the same radio frequency as the 3G29WN (2.4GHz).
Avoid obstacles and interference
• Avoid placing your Router near devices that may emit radio “noise,” such as microwave ovens. Dense objects that can inhibit
wireless communication include:
• Refrigerators
• Washers and/or dryers
• Metal cabinets
• Large aquariums
• Metallic-based, UV-tinted windows
If your wireless signal seems weak in some spots, make sure that objects such as these are not blocking the signal’s path (between your
devices and Router).

Cordless phones
If the performance of your wireless network is impaired after considering the above issues, and you have a cordless phone:
• Try moving cordless phones away from your Router and your wireless-enabled computers.
• Unplug and remove the battery from any cordless phone that operates on the 2.4GHz band (check manufacturer’s information). If
this fixes the problem, your phone may be interfering with the Wi-Fi Router.
• If your phone supports channel selection, change the channel on the phone to the farthest channel from your wireless network.
For example, change the phone to channel 1 and move your Router to channel 11. See your phones user manual for detailed
instructions.
• If necessary, consider switching to a 900MHz or 5GHz cordless phone.
Choose the “quietest” channel for your wireless network
In locations where homes or offices are close together, such as apartment buildings or office complexes, there may be wireless networks
nearby that can conflict with your wireless network.
Use the Site Survey capabilities found in the Wireless Utility to locate any other wireless networks that are available and switch your
Router and computers to a channel as far away from other networks as possible.
• Experiment with more than one of the available channels in order to find the clearest connection and avoid interference from
neighbouring cordless phones or other wireless devices.
• For assistance with placing NetComm wireless networking products, use the detailed Site Survey and wireless channel
information included with your wireless network card. See your network card’s user guide for more information.
These guidelines should allow you to cover the maximum possible area with your Router. Should you need to cover an even wider
area, you should consider looking at building a hybrid network by combining your wireless network with a Powerline Network. See the
NetComm website for more details on Powerline products.

Security
Security settings are used to prevent unauthorised connections to your network. This can be as basic as a neighbouring user who
detects and is able to connect through your wireless network, right through to actual malicious interference or ‘hacking’. Whatever the
case, it is a good practice to be aware of and to use wireless network security to safeguard your data and your network.

before reopening your browser. If required, reconfigure your PCs IP address to match your new configuration (see section 3.2 TCP/IP
Settings for details).
NOTE: The Restore Default function has the same effect as the reset button. The device board hardware and the boot loader support the reset to default button. If the reset
button is continuously pushed for more than 5 seconds (and not more than 12 seconds), the boot loader will erase the configuration settings saved on flash memory.

Update Firmware
The following screen appears when selecting Update Firmware. By following this screens steps, you can update your Routers firmware.
Manual device upgrades from a locally stored file can also be performed using the following screen.
1. Obtain an updated software image file
2. Enter the path and filename of the firmware image file in the Software File Name field or click the Browse button to locate the
image file.
3. Click the Update Software button once to upload and install the file.
NOTE:
The update process will take about 2 minutes to complete. The Router will reboot and the browser window will refresh to the default screen upon successful
installation. It is recommended that you compare the Software Version at the top of the Basic screen (WUI homepage) with the firmware version installed, to confirm
the installation was successful.
SNMP
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) allows a network administrator to monitor a network by retrieving settings on remote
network devices. To do this, the administrator typically runs an SNMP management station program such as MIB browser on a local host
to obtain information from the SNMP agent, in this case the 3G29WN (if SNMP is enabled). An SNMP ‘community’ performs the function of
authenticating SNMP traffic. A ‘community name’ acts as a password that is typically shared among SNMP agents and managers.

Quality of Service
Quality of Service offers a defined level of performance in a data communications system - for example the ability to guarantee that video
traffic is given priority over other network traffic to ensure that video streaming is not disrupted by other network requirements. This
means that should you be streaming video and someone else in the house starts downloading a big file, the download won’t disrupt the
flow of video data.
