In order to use the WAN Ethernet port for Internet
connectivity your fixed line service (Cable/xDSL/Satellite)
modem must be equipped with an RJ45 Ethernet port. Many
modems have both an RJ45 Ethernet port and a USB port.
If you have a modem with both Ethernet and USB, and are
using the USB port at this time, you will be instructed to use
the RJ45 Ethernet port during the installation procedure. If
your modem only has a USB port, you can request a different
type of modem from your Internet Service Provider, or you
can purchase a modem that has an RJ45 Ethernet port on it.

performance.
RTS Threshold:
When the packet size is smaller than the RTS threshold, the wireless router will
not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send this packet.

Periodic Ping Settings
The Periodic Ping Reset Monitor configures the Travel Router to transmit controlled ping packets
to 1 or 2 user specified IP addresses. Should the router not receive responses to the pings the
router will reboot.
This works as follows:
A. After every “Periodic Ping Timer” configured interval, the router sends 3 consecutive pings to
the “Destination Address”.

activity. If not, ensure that the AC power adapter is
firmly connected or the battery of the Travel Router is
charged.
• Ensure that the IP Address, subnet mask, gateway and
DNS settings are correctly entered on the computer.
• If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones, X-10 equipment,
or other home security systems, ceiling fans, or lights,
your wireless connection may degrade dramatically, or
drop altogether.
• To avoid interference, you can change the wireless
Channel on your Travel Router.
• Keep your product at least 3-6 feet away from electrical
