Assemble the Router
The router requires assembly. The SIM card and antennas must be installed and positioned.
To assemble the router:
1. Install the 4G LTE SIM card.
Note: The SIM (subscriber identity module) card is a small rectangular plastic
card that stores your phone number and important information about your
wireless service. Insert the SIM card into the slot until you hear a click.
Insert the SIM card into the labeled SIM card slot with its gold contacts facing back and its
cut-off corner facing inward.
If you need to remove your SIM card from your router, gently press the SIM card inward
to release it, and remove it from the slot.
2. Install the antennas.
The Verizon 4G LTE router comes with two detachable antennas. These two external
antennas are required for proper 4G LTE service and are in addition to the internal
antennas that are used for Wi-Fi.
Note: For best 4G LTE reception, position these external antennas so that
they are at right angles to each other.

angles to each other.
Place the Router
Position your router upright. Place your router near an AC power outlet in a location where
you can connect the cables you need for your home network. The router must also be
located where you can receive a strong mobile broadband signal while indoors (preferably
near a window) if you are planning to connect to the Internet using mobile broadband.

Plan Your Wireless Network
The router comes with preset security. This means that the Wi-Fi network name (SSID),
network key (password), and security option (encryption protocol) are preset in the factory.
page 15).
Note: The preset SSID and password are uniquely generated for every
device to protect and maximize your wireless security.
Verizon recommends that you do not change your preset security settings. If you do
decide to change your preset security settings, make a note of the new settings and store it in
a safe place where you can easily find it.
If you use a wireless computer to change the wireless network name (SSID) or other wireless
security settings, you are disconnected when you click Apply. To avoid this problem, use a
computer with a wired connection to access the router.
If you decide to change the preset wireless security settings, be aware of the following
requirements:
•
For compliance and compatibility between similar products in your area, the operating
channel and region must be set correctly.
•
To configure the wireless network, you can either specify the wireless settings, or you can
use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) to automatically set the SSID and implement
WPA/WPA2 security.

Wireless Placement and Range Guidelines
The range of your wireless connection can vary based on the physical placement of the
router. The latency, data throughput performance, and notebook power consumption of
wireless adapters also vary depending on your configuration choices.
For best results, place your router according to the following guidelines:
•
•
Near the center of the area in which your computers operate.
In an elevated location, such as a high shelf, where the wirelessly connected computers
have line-of-sight access (even if through walls).
•
Away from sources of interference, such as microwave ovens, and 2.4 GHz cordless
•
•
Away from large metal surfaces.
Place the router in the vertical position for the best coverage (as an example, see the
•
If using multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access points use different radio
frequency channels to reduce interference. The recommended channel spacing between
adjacent access points is 5 channels (for example, use Channels 1 and 6, or 6 and 11).
The time it takes to establish a wireless connection can vary depending on both your security
settings and placement. WEP connections can take slightly longer to establish. Also, WEP
encryption can consume more battery power on a notebook computer.
Wireless Security Options
Indoors, computers can connect over Wi-Fi networks at a maximum range of up to 300 feet
(100 meters). Such distances can allow others outside your immediate area to access your
network.
Unlike wired network data, your wireless data transmissions extend beyond your walls and
can be received by anyone with a compatible adapter. For this reason, use the security
features of your wireless equipment. The Verizon 4G LTE Router provides highly effective
security features, which are covered in detail in this chapter. Deploy the security features
appropriate to your needs.
Each router is preconfigured for WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK mixed mode, and comes with a
unique SSID and passphrase for each router.
Here are several ways you can enhance the security of your wireless network:
•
Restrict access based on MAC address. You can allow only trusted computers to
connect so that unknown computers cannot wirelessly connect to the router. Restricting
access by MAC address adds an obstacle against unwanted access to your network, but
the data broadcast over the wireless link is fully exposed.
•
Turn off the broadcast of the wireless network name (SSID). If you disable broadcast
of the SSID, only devices that have the correct SSID can connect. This approach nullifies
wireless network “discovery” feature of some products, such as Windows XP, but the data
is still exposed.

Access Control
Use access control to allow or block access to your network by computers and electronic
devices. When a device is blocked, it is able to get an IP address from your router, but it is not
able to communicate with other devices, nor is it able to connect to the Internet.
To set up access control:
2. From the main menu, select Advanced > Access Control.
The following settings are available:
a. To enable access control, select the Turn on Access Control check box.
Selecting this check box lets you control access to your network by computers and
electronic devices. You have to select this check box before you can specify an
access rule and use the Allow and Block buttons. When this check box is cleared, all
devices are allowed to connect, even if a device is in the blocked list.
b. Select the Access Rule radio button for the access rule that you want to apply to
new devices that are attempting to connect to your network.
The access rule does not affect previously blocked or allowed devices. It applies only
to devices joining your network in the future, after you apply these settings. By default,
the Allow all new devices to connect radio button is selected so that when you or your
family buys a new device, the device is able to access your network without the need
for you to configure its MAC address in this screen.
Verizon recommends that you keep this option selected. If you change this setting to
the Block all new devices from connecting radio button, your new device is not able to
access your network until you add its MAC address to the allowed list. For example, if

Wireless Station Access Control
By default, any wireless computer configured with the correct SSID and wireless security
settings is allowed access to your wireless network. You can use wireless access point
settings in the Advanced Wi-Fi Settings screen to further restrict wireless access to your
network:
•
Turn off wireless connectivity completely.
You can completely turn off the wireless portion of the router. For example, if you use your
notebook computer to connect wirelessly to your router, and you take a business trip, you
can turn off the wireless portion of the router while you are traveling. Other members of
your household who use computers connected to the router with Ethernet cables can still
use the router. To make this change, clear the Enable Wi-Fi Router Radio check box in
the Advanced Wi-Fi Settings screen and click Apply.
•
Hide your wireless network name (SSID).
By default, the router is set to broadcast its wireless network name (SSID). You can
restrict wireless access to your network by not broadcasting the wireless network name
(SSID). To make this change, clear the Enable SSID Broadcast check box on the
Advanced Wi-Fi Settings screen and click Apply. Wireless devices do not see your
router. You must configure your wireless devices to match the wireless network name
(SSID) of the router.
Note: The SSID of any wireless access adapters must match the SSID you
configure in the router. If they do not match, you do not get a
wireless connection to the router.

Port Forwarding/Port Triggering
By default, the router blocks inbound traffic from the Internet to your computers except for
replies to your outbound traffic. Create exceptions to this rule for these purposes:
•
•
To allow remote computers on the Internet to access a server on your local network.
To allow certain applications and games to work correctly when your router does not
recognize their replies.
Your router provides two features for creating these exceptions: port forwarding and port
triggering. The next sections provide background information to help you understand how
port forwarding and port triggering work, and the differences between the two.
Remote Computer Access Basics
When a computer on your network accesses a computer on the Internet, your computer
sends your router a message containing the source and destination address and process
information. Before forwarding your message to the remote computer, your router has to
modify the source information and create and track the communication session so that
replies can be routed back to your computer.
Here is an example of normal outbound traffic and the resulting inbound responses:
1. You open a browser, and your operating system assigns port number 5678 to this
browser session.
2. You type http://www.example.com into the URL field, and your computer creates a web page
request message with the following address and port information. The request message is
sent to your router.
Source address. The IP address of your computer.
Source port number. 5678, which is the browser session.
Destination address. The IP address of www.example.com, which your computer finds
by asking a DNS server.
Destination port number. 80, which is the standard port number for a web server
process.
3. Your router creates an entry in its internal session table describing this communication
session between your computer and the web server at www.example.com. Before sending
the web page request message to www.example.com, your router stores the original
information and then modifies the source information in the request message, performing
Network Address Translation (NAT):
•
The source address is replaced with the public IP address of your router. This step is
necessary because your computer uses a private IP address that is not globally
unique and cannot be used on the Internet.
•
The source port number is changed to a number that is chosen by the router, such as
33333. This step is necessary because two computers could independently be using
the same session number.
Advanced
66
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Verizon 4G LTE Router MBR1515LVW
Your router then sends this request message through the Internet to the web server at
www.example.com.
4. The web server at www.example.com composes a return message with the requested web
page data. The return message contains the following address and port information. The
web server then sends this reply message to your router.
Source address. The IP address of www.example.com.
Source port number. 80, which is the standard port number for a web server process.
Destination address. The public IP address of your router.
Destination port number. 33333.
5. Upon receiving the incoming message, your router checks its session table to determine
whether an active session for port number 33333 exists. Finding an active session, the
router then modifies the message to restore the original address information that is replaced
by NAT. Your router sends this reply message to your computer, which displays the web
page from www.example.com. The message now contains the following address and port
information.
Source address. The IP address of www.example.com.
Source port number. 80, which is the standard port number for a web server process.
Destination address. The IP address of your computer.
Destination port number. 5678, which is the browser session that made the initial
request.
6. When you finish your browser session, your router eventually detects a period of inactivity in
the communications. Your router then removes the session information from its session
table, and incoming traffic is no longer accepted on port number 33333.
Port Triggering to Open Incoming Ports
In the preceding example, requests are sent to a remote computer by your router from a
particular service port number, and replies from the remote computer to your router are
directed to that port number. If the remote server sends a reply to a different port number,
your router does not recognize it and discards it. However, some application servers (such as
FTP and IRC servers) send replies to multiple port numbers. Using the port triggering
function of your router, you can tell the router to open more incoming ports when a particular
outgoing port originates a session.
An example is Internet Relay Chat (IRC). Your computer connects to an IRC server at
destination port 6667. The IRC server not only responds to your originating source port, but
also sends an “identify” message to your computer on port 113. Using port triggering, you can
tell the router, “When you initiate a session with destination port 6667, you have to allow
incoming traffic also on port 113 to reach the originating computer.” Using steps similar to the
preceding example, the following sequence shows the effects of the port triggering rule you
have defined:
1. You open an IRC client program to start a chat session on your computer.
Advanced
67
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Verizon 4G LTE Router MBR1515LVW
2. Your IRC client composes a request message to an IRC server using a destination port
number of 6667, the standard port number for an IRC server process. Your computer then
sends this request message to your router.
3. Your router creates an entry in its internal session table describing this communication
session between your computer and the IRC server. Your router stores the original
information, performs Network Address Translation (NAT) on the source address and port,
and sends this request message through the Internet to the IRC server.
4. Noting your port triggering rule and having observed the destination port number of 6667,
your router creates an additional session entry to send any incoming port 113 traffic to your
computer.
5. The IRC server sends a return message to your router using the NAT-assigned source port
(as in the previous example, say port 33333) as the destination port. The IRC server also
sends an identify message to your router with destination port 113.
6. Upon receiving the incoming message to destination port 33333, your router checks its
session table to determine whether an active session for port number 33333 exists. Finding
an active session, the router restores the original address information that is replaced by
NAT and sends this reply message to your computer.
7. Upon receiving the incoming message to destination port 113, your router checks its session
table and learns that an active session for port 113 exists and is associated with your
computer. The router replaces the destination IP address of the message with the IP
address of your computer and forwards the message to your computer.
8. When you finish your chat session, your router eventually senses a period of inactivity in the
communications. The router then removes the session information from its session table,
and incoming traffic is no longer accepted on ports 33333 or 113.
To configure port triggering, you need to know which inbound ports the application needs.
Also, you need to know the number of the outbound port that triggers the opening of the
inbound ports. You can usually determine this information by contacting the publisher of the
application or user groups or newsgroups.
Note: Only one computer at a time can use the triggered application.
Port Forwarding to Permit External Host Communications
In both of the preceding examples, your computer initiates an application session with a
server computer on the Internet. However, you need to allow a client computer on the Internet
to initiate a connection to a server computer on your network. Normally, your router ignores
any inbound traffic that is not a response to your own outbound traffic. You can configure
exceptions to this default rule by using the port forwarding feature.
A typical application of port forwarding can be shown by reversing the client-server
relationship from the previous web server example. In this case, a browser on a remote
computer accesses a web server running on a computer in your local network. Using port
forwarding, you can tell the router, “When you receive incoming traffic on port 80 (the
standard port number for a web server process), forward it to the local computer at
Advanced
68
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Verizon 4G LTE Router MBR1515LVW
192.168.1.123.” The following sequence shows the effects of the port forwarding rule you
have defined:
1. The user of a remote computer opens a browser and requests a web page from
www.example.com, which resolves to the public IP address of your router. The remote
computer composes a web page request message with the following destination
information:
Destination address. The IP address of www.example.com, which is the address of your
router.
Destination port number. 80, which is the standard port number for a web server
process.
The remote computer then sends this request message through the Internet to your
router.
2. Your router receives the request message and looks in its rules table for any rules covering
the disposition of incoming port 80 traffic. Your port forwarding rule specifies that incoming
port 80 traffic is forwarded to local IP address 192.168.1.123. Therefore, your router
modifies the destination information in the request message:
The destination address is replaced with 192.168.1.123.
Your router then sends this request message to your local network.
3. Your web server at 192.168.1.123 receives the request and composes a return message
with the requested web page data. Your web server then sends this reply message to your
router.
4. Your router performs Network Address Translation (NAT) on the source IP address, and
sends this request message through the Internet to the remote computer, which displays the
web page from www.example.com.
To configure port forwarding, you need to know which inbound ports the application needs.
Usually you can determine this information by contacting the publisher of the application or
the relevant user groups and news groups.
How Port Forwarding Differs from Port Triggering
The following points summarize the differences between port forwarding and port triggering:
•
Port triggering can be used by any computer on your network, although only one
computer can use it at a time.
•
•
Port forwarding is configured for a single computer on your network.
Port triggering requires specific outbound traffic to open the inbound ports, and the
triggered ports are closed after a period of no activity.
•
Port forwarding is always active and is never triggered.

Set Up a Default DMZ Server
WARNING:
For security reasons, you should avoid using the default DMZ
server feature. When a computer is designated as the default DMZ
server, it loses much of the protection of the firewall and is
exposed to many exploits from the Internet. If compromised, the
computer can be used to attack your network.
The default DMZ server feature is helpful when you are using some online games and
videoconferencing applications that are incompatible with NAT. The router is programmed to
recognize some of these applications and to work correctly with them, but other applications
might not function well. In some cases, one local computer can run the application correctly if
that computer’s IP address is entered as the default DMZ server.
Incoming traffic from the Internet is normally discarded by the router unless the traffic is a
response to one of your local computers or a service that you have configured in the Port
Forwarding/Port Triggering screen. Instead of discarding this traffic, you can have it
forwarded to one computer on your network. This computer is called the default DMZ server.

LAN Setup
The LAN Setup screen allows configuration of LAN IP services such as DHCP and RIP.
These features can be found under Advanced in the router main menu.
The router is shipped preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side, and to act
as a DHCP server. The router’s default LAN IP configuration is:
•
•
LAN IP address. 192.168.0.1
Subnet mask. 255.255.255.0
These addresses are part of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)–designated private
address range for use in private networks, and should be suitable in most applications. If your
network requires a different IP addressing scheme, you can make the changes in this screen.
Tip: If you change the LAN IP address of the router while connected through
the browser, you are disconnected, and so are others who are connected
to the router. To connect to the router, you must open a new connection
to the new IP address and log in again. Others using the router must
restart their computers to connect to the router again.

address, the IP subnet mask allows a device to know which other addresses are
local to it, and which must be reached through a gateway or router.
-
RIP Direction. RIP (Routing Information Protocol, RFC1058 and RFC1389)
allows a router to exchange routing information with other routers. The RIP
Direction selection controls how the router sends and receives RIP packets. Both
is the default.
•
When set to Both or Out Only, the router broadcasts its routing table
periodically.
•
When set to Both or In Only, it incorporates the RIP information that it
receives.
-
RIP Version. This setting controls the format and the broadcasting method of the
RIP packets that the router sends. (It recognizes both formats when receiving.) By
default, Disabled is selected.
•
RIP-1 is universally supported. RIP-1 is probably adequate for most networks,
unless you have an unusual network setup.
•
RIP-2 carries more information. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M send the routing
data in RIP-2 format.

DHCP Settings
By default, the router functions as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server,
allowing it to assign IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers
connected to the router’s LAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of
the router. IP addresses are assigned to the attached computers from a pool of addresses
specified in this screen. Each pool address is tested before it is assigned to avoid duplicate
addresses on the LAN.
For most applications, the default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the router are satisfactory.
Use Router as DHCP Server
If another device on your network is the DHCP server, or if you manually configure the
network settings of all of your computers, clear the Use Router as DHCP Server check box
on the LAN Setup screen. Otherwise, leave it selected.
Specify the pool of IP addresses to be assigned by filling in the Starting IP Address and
Ending IP Address fields. These addresses should be part of the same IP address subnet as
the router’s LAN IP address. Using the default addressing scheme, you should define a range
between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254, although you might want to save part of the range
for devices with fixed addresses.
The router delivers the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:
•
•
•
•
An IP address from the range you have defined.
Subnet mask.
Gateway IP address is the router’s LAN IP address.
Primary DNS server, if you entered a primary DNS address in the Broadband Settings
screen; otherwise, the router’s LAN IP address.
•
•
Secondary DNS server, if you entered a secondary DNS address in the Broadband
Settings screen.
WINS server (Windows Internet Naming Service server) determines the IP address
associated with a particular Windows computer. A WINS server records and reports a list
of names and IP address of Windows computers on its local network. If you connect to a
remote network that contains a WINS server, enter the server’s IP address here. This
procedure allows your computers to browse the network using the Network
Neighborhood feature of Windows.
Reserved IP Addresses
When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that computer always
receives the same IP address each time it accesses the router’s DHCP server. Reserved IP
addresses should be assigned to servers that require permanent IP settings.
To reserve an IP address:

the 802.11e standard. WMM allows wireless traffic to have a range of priorities
depending on the kind of data. Time-dependent information, such as video or audio,
has a higher priority than normal traffic. For WMM to function correctly, wireless
clients must also support WMM.
•
Turn Internet Access QoS On. If you enable QoS, the QoS function works to
prioritize Internet access traffic. For the applications that exist in the drop-down list
(for example, Online Gaming, Ethernet LAN Port, or a specified MAC address), you
can modify the priority level by clicking the Edit button. You can also click the Delete
button to erase the priority rule. Otherwise, you can define the priority policy for online
gaming, an application, a LAN port, or the computer’s MAC address by clicking the
Setup QoS rule button.

Dynamic DNS
If your network has a permanently assigned IP address, you can register a domain name and
have that name linked with your IP address by public Domain Name Servers (DNS).
However, if your Internet account uses a dynamically assigned IP address, you do not know
in advance what your IP address is, and the address can change frequently. In this case, you
can use a commercial Dynamic DNS service to register your domain to their IP address, and
forward traffic directed at your domain to your frequently changing IP address.
The router contains a client that can connect to a Dynamic DNS service provider. To use this
feature, you must select a service provider and obtain an account with them. After you have
configured your account information in the router and your ISP-assigned IP address
changes, your router automatically contacts your Dynamic DNS service provider, logs in to
your account, and registers your new IP address.

WARNING:
If your ISP assigns a private WAN IP address such as 192.168.x.x
or 10.x.x.x, the Dynamic DNS service does not work because
private addresses are not routed on the Internet.
To configure Dynamic DNS:
2. From the main menu, select Advanced > Dynamic DNS.
3. Access the website of one of the Dynamic DNS service providers whose URLs appear in
the Service Provider drop-down list, and register for an account.

4. Select the Use a Dynamic DNS Service check box.
5. Select the URL of your Dynamic DNS service provider.
6. Fill in the Host Name, User Name, and Password fields.
The Dynamic DNS service provider might call the host name a domain name. If your URL
is myName.dyndns.org, your host name is myName. The password can be a key for your
Dynamic DNS account.

Static Routes
Static routes provide more routing information to your router. Under normal circumstances,
the router has adequate routing information after it has been configured for Internet access,
and you do not need to configure more static routes. You have to configure static routes only
for unusual cases such as multiple routers or multiple IP subnets on your network.
Static Route Example
As an example of when a static route is needed, consider the following case:
•
•
Your primary Internet access is through a cable modem to an ISP.
You have an ISDN router on your home network for connecting to the company where
you are employed. This router’s address on your LAN is 192.168.0.100.
•
Your company’s network is 134.177.0.0.
When you first configured your router, two implicit static routes were created. A default route
was created with your ISP as the router, and a second static route was created to your local
network for all 192.168.0.x addresses. With this configuration, if you attempt to access a
device on the 134.177.0.0 network, your router forwards your request to the ISP. The ISP
forwards your request to the company where you are employed, and the request is likely to
be denied by the company’s firewall.
In this case you must define a static route, telling your router that 134.177.0.0 should be
accessed through the ISDN router at 192.168.0.100.
In this example:
•
•
•
The Destination IP Address and IP Subnet Mask fields specify that this static route
applies to all 134.177.x.x addresses.
The Gateway IP Address fields specify that all traffic for these addresses should be
forwarded to the ISDN router at 192.168.0.100.
In the Metric field, a value of 1 works since the ISDN router is on the LAN.
This value represents the number of routers between your network and the destination.
This connection is a direct connection, so it is set to 1.
•
Private is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP is activated.
To configure static routes:

3. Select the radio button of the static route you want to configure.
4. Click Add or Edit to display the following screen:
5. Fill in or change the fields:
•
•
Route Name. The route name is for identification purposes only.
Private. Select this check box if you want to limit access to the LAN only. The static
route is not reported in RIP.
•
•
Active. Select this check box to make this route effective.
Destination IP Address and IP Subnet Mask. If the destination is a single host, type
a subnet value of 255.255.255.255.
•
•
Gateway IP Address. This value must be a router on the same LAN segment as the
router.
Metric. Type a number from 2 through 15. This range represents the number of
routers between your network and the destination. Usually, a setting of 2 or 3 works,
but if this connection is a direct connection, set it to 2.
6. Click Apply to save your changes. If you added a static route, it is added to the Static
Routes screen.

Remote Management
Using the Remote Management screen, you can allow a user or users on the Internet to
configure, upgrade, and check the status of your router.
Tip: Be sure to change the router’s default password to a secure password.
The ideal password contains no dictionary words from any language, and
is a mixture of letters (both uppercase and lowercase), numbers, and
symbols. Your password can be up to 30 characters. See Set Password
To configure remote management:
2. From the main menu, select Advanced > Remote Management.
3. Select the Turn Remote Management On check box.
4. Specify which external addresses are allowed to access the router’s remote management.
For security, restrict access to as few external IP addresses as practical:
•
•
To allow access from any IP address on the Internet, select Everyone.
To allow access from a range of IP addresses on the Internet, select IP Address
Range. Enter a beginning and ending IP address to define the allowed range.
•
To allow access from a single IP address on the Internet, select Only This Computer.
Enter the IP address that is allowed access.
5. Specify the port number that is used for accessing the router menu.
Access normally uses the standard HTTP service port 80. For greater security, enter a
different port number. Choose a number from 1024 through 65535, but do not use the

number of any common service port. The default is 8080, which is a common alternate
for HTTP.
6. Click Apply to have your changes take effect.
When accessing your router from the Internet, type your router WAN IP address in your
Internet browser address or location field, followed by a colon (:) and the custom port
number. For example, if your external address is 134.177.0.123 and you use port number
8080, enter: http://134.177.0.123:8080. Be sure to include http:// in the address.

UPnP
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices such as Internet appliances and computers
access the network and connect to other devices as needed. UPnP devices can
automatically discover the services from other registered UPnP devices on the network.
2. From the main menu, select Advanced > UPnP.
3. Specify the following settings:
•
Turn UPnP On. UPnP can be enabled or disabled for automatic device configuration.
The default setting for UPnP is enabled. If this feature is disabled, the router does not
allow any device to control the resources automatically, such as port forwarding
(mapping), of the router.
•
Advertisement Period. The advertisement period is how often the router advertises
(broadcasts) its UPnP information. This value can range from 1 to 1440 minutes. The
default period is 30 minutes. Shorter durations ensure that control points have current
device status at the expense of more network traffic. Longer durations might
compromise the freshness of the device status but can significantly reduce network
traffic.
•
•
Advertisement Time To Live. The time to live for the advertisement is measured in
hops for each UPnP packet sent. The time to live hop count is the number of steps
allowed to propagate for each UPnP advertisement before it disappears. The number
of hops can range from 1 to 255. The default value for the advertisement time to live is
4 hops, which should be fine for most home networks. If you notice that some devices
are not being updated or reached correctly, it might be necessary to increase this
value a little.
UPnP Portmap Table. The UPnP Portmap table displays the IP address of each
UPnP device that is accessing the router and which ports (internal and external) that
device has opened.
4. Click Refresh to update the Portmap table and to show the active ports that are opened by
UPnP devices.

Basic Functioning
After you turn on power to the router, the following sequence of events should occur:
1. When power is first applied, verify that the Power LED is lit.
2. After approximately 10 seconds, verify the following:
a. The Power LED is still solid green. An amber LED indicates that the unit has failed its
power-on self-test (POST).
b. The Internet Port LED is lit.
c. The Wi-Fi LED is lit. The Wi-Fi radio is on by default.
d. The Ethernet LAN Port LED is lit when any local ports are connected.
If a LAN port’s LED is lit, a link has been established to the connected device. If a
LAN port is connected to a 100 Mbps device, verify that the port’s LED is green. If the
port is 10 Mbps, the LED is amber.
e. The Ethernet WAN Port LED is lit when the router is connected to a wired modem.
f. The Signal Quality LED is lit when the router has detected a mobile broadband
signal.

Troubleshoot Access to the Router Main Menu
If you are unable to access the router main menu from a computer on your local network,
check the following:
•
If you are using an Ethernet-connected computer, check the Ethernet connection
between the computer and the router as described in the previous section.
•
Make sure your computer’s IP address is on the same subnet as the router. If you are
using the recommended addressing scheme, your computer’s address should be in the
range of 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254.
Note: If your computer’s IP address is shown as 169.254.x.x:
Recent versions of Windows and Mac OS generate and assign an
IP address when the computer cannot reach a DHCP server. These
autogenerated addresses are in the range of 169.254.x.x. If your IP
address is in this range, check the connection from the computer to
the router, and reboot your computer.
•
•
If your router’s IP address was changed and you do not know the current IP address,
clear the router’s configuration to factory defaults. This procedure sets the router’s IP
address to 192.168.0.1. This procedure is explained in Restore the Default Configuration
Make sure that your browser has Java, JavaScript, or ActiveX enabled. If you are using
Internet Explorer, click Refresh to be sure that the Java applet is loaded.
•
•
Try quitting the browser and launching it again.
Make sure that you are using the correct login information. The factory default login name
is admin, and the password is password. Make sure that Caps Lock is off when entering
this information.
If the router does not save changes you have made in the web management interface, check
the following:
•
When entering configuration settings, be sure to click the Apply button before moving to
another screen or tab, or your changes are lost.
•
Click the Refresh or Reload button in the web browser. The changes might have
occurred, but the web browser might be caching the old configuration.

Troubleshoot Your Connection
Check these possible sources of trouble if you are having difficulty connecting to or browsing
the Internet.
Connecting to the Internet
If unable to connect to Internet, check the following:
1. The Internet account is active.
If you have not inserted the included 4G LTE SIM card into the SIM card slot on the back
of the router yet, do so now.
2. Wireless broadband coverage is available where the unit is located.
3. Access the router main menu to verify that the broadband settings are correct. Check with
your ISP if you are unsure.
4. Check the location of the router.
a. Move the router closer to a window for better access to the Internet signal.

Troubleshoot Internet Browsing
If your router can obtain an IP address but your computer is unable to load any web pages
from the Internet:
•
The traffic meter is enabled, and the limit might have been reached.
By configuring the traffic meter not to block, you can resume Internet access. If you have
a usage limit, your ISP might charge you for the overage.
•
Your computer might not recognize any DNS server addresses.
A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as www
addresses) to numeric IP addresses. Typically your ISP provides the addresses of one or
two DNS servers for your use. If you entered a DNS address during the router’s
configuration, reboot your computer and verify the DNS address. Alternatively, you can
configure your computer manually with DNS addresses, as explained in your operating
system documentation.
•
Your computer might not have the router configured as its TCP/IP router.
If your computer obtains its information from the router by DHCP, reboot the computer,
and verify the router address.

Troubleshoot a TCP/IP Network Using the Ping Utility
Most TCP/IP terminal devices and routers contain a ping utility that sends an echo request
packet to the designated device. The device then responds with an echo reply. You can easily
troubleshoot a TCP/IP network by using the ping utility in your computer.
Test the LAN Path to Your Router
You can ping the router from your computer to verify that the LAN path to your router is set up
correctly.
To ping the router from a computer running Windows 95 or later:
1. From the Windows toolbar, click the Start button, and select Run.
2. In the field provided, type ping followed by the IP address of the router, as in this example:
ping 192.168.0.1
3. Click OK.
You should see a message like this one:
Pinging <IP address> with 32 bytes of data
If the path is working, you see this message:
Reply from < IP address >: bytes=32 time=NN ms TTL=xxx
If the path is not working, you see this message:
Request timed out
If the path is not working correctly, you could have one of the following problems:
•
Wrong physical connections
-
Make sure that the LAN Port LED is lit. If the LED is off, follow the instructions in
-
Check that the corresponding link LEDs are lit for your network interface card and
for the hub ports (if any) that are connected to your workstation and router.
•
Wrong network configuration
-
Verify that the Ethernet card driver software and TCP/IP software are both
installed and configured on your computer or workstation.
-
Verify that the IP address for your router and your workstation are correct and that
the addresses are on the same subnet.
Test the Path from Your Computer to a Remote Device
After verifying that the LAN path works correctly, test the path from your computer to a remote
device.

1. From the Windows toolbar, click the Start button, and select Run.
2. In the Windows Run window, type:
ping -n 10IP address
where IP address is the IP address of a remote device such as your ISP DNS server.
If the path is functioning correctly, replies as in the previous section are displayed. If you do
not receive replies:
•
Check that your computer has the IP address of your router listed as the default router. If
the IP configuration of your computer is assigned by DHCP, this information is not visible
in your computer’s Network Control Panel. Verify that the IP address of the router is listed
as the default router.
•
Make sure that the network address of your computer (the portion of the IP address
specified by the netmask) is different from the network address of the remote device.
•
•
Check that your cable or DSL modem is connected and functioning.
If your ISP assigned a host name to your computer, enter that host name as the account
name in the Broadband Settings screen.
•
Your ISP could be rejecting the Ethernet MAC addresses of all but one of your
computers. Many broadband ISPs restrict access by allowing only traffic from the MAC
address of your broadband modem, but some ISPs additionally restrict access to the
MAC address of a single computer connected to that modem. If so, you must configure
your router to clone or spoof the MAC address from the authorized computer. See the
Verizon 4G LTE Router MBR1515L Installation Guide.
Problems with Date and Time
The E-mail screen displays the current date and time of day. The router uses the Network
Time Protocol (NTP) to obtain the current time from one of several network time servers on
the Internet. Each entry in the log is stamped with the date and time of day. Problems with the
date and time function can include the following:
•
Date shown is January 1, 2000.
Cause: The router has not yet successfully reached a network time server. Check that
your Internet access settings are configured correctly. If you have completed configuring
the router, wait at least 5 minutes, and check the date and time again.
•
Time is off by one hour.
Cause: The router does not automatically sense daylight saving time. On the E-mail
screen, select the Automatically adjust for Daylight Savings Time check box.
Restore the Default Configuration and Password
This section explains how to restore the factory default configuration settings, changing the
router’s admin password to password and the IP address to 192.168.0.1. You can erase the
current configuration and restore factory defaults in two ways:
