3G-6210n supports most of 3G/3.5G modem cards, just connect the  
modem card to the USB port of 3G-6210n and 3G-6210n will recognize it  
automatically, no additional setup procedure required. However, some of  
modem cards require PIN code or account / password (you have to use  
3G-6210n’s web interface to input these information), and some modem  
cards requires you to connect the modem card with your PC and install  
driver / utility before you connect it with 3G-6210n (all PCs which need  
to access Internet by 3G-6210n requires to perform this procedure once).  
If you still not able to connect to Internet, please use wired Internet  
connection to access our website :http://www.edimax.com/ ,download  
latest version of firmware and upgrade 3G-6210n’s firmware. If you still

your dealer of purchase and provide the model name of the 3G/3.5G  
modem card you have, we’ll try our best to help you to solve the problem.  
Only one Internet connection (wireless / wired) can be used at the same  
time. Wireless connection (3G/3.5G) will be selected first, and use wired  
Internet connection as backup. Therefore, please DO NOT connect your  
3G/3.5G modem card with 3G-6210n, or your telecomm service provider  
may charge you with high communication fee. For example, if you  
connect 3G/3.5G modem card with 3G-6210n when you’re using wired  
Internet connection, wired connection will be dropped and use 3G/3.5G  
wireless connection instead. If 3G/3.5G wireless signal reception is poor  
and the connection can not be restored within 60 seconds, 3G-6210n will  
use wired Internet connection again, and will not switch back to wireless  
Internet connection (This only happens with wired Internet connection is  
available. If wired connection is unavailable, 3G-6210n will try to  
establish 3G/3.5G wireless connection again and again). If you want to  
use 3G/3.5G wireless connection again, you need to remove 3G/3.5G  
modem card from 3G-6210n and reconnect it back after 5 seconds.

2-6-9 Setup procedure for ‘DDNS’:  
DDNS (Dynamic DNS) is an IP-to-Hostname mapping service for those  
Internet users who don’t have a static (fixed) IP address. It will be a  
problem when such user wants to provide services to other users on  
Internet, because their IP address will vary every time when connected to  
Internet, and other user will not be able to know the IP address they’re  
using at a certain time.  
This router supports DDNS service of several service providers, for  
example:  
DynDNS (http://www.dyndns.org)  
TZO (http://www.tzo.com)  
Please go to one of DDNS service provider’s webpage listed above, and

2-7 Wired LAN Configurations  
Before all computers using wired Ethernet connection (i.e. those  
computers connect to this router’s LAN port 1 to 4 by Ethernet cable) can  
communicate with each other and access internet, they must have a valid  
IP address.  
There are two ways to assign IP addresses to computers: static IP address  
(set the IP address for every computer manually), and dynamic IP address  
(IP address of computers will be assigned by router automatically. It’s  
recommended for most of computers to use dynamic IP address, it will  
save a lot of time on setting IP addresses for every computer, especially  
when there are a lot of computers in your network; for servers and  
network devices which will provide services to other computer and users  
that come from Internet, static IP address should be used, so other  
computes can locate the server.  
Suggestions on IP address numbering plan:  
If you have no idea on how to define an IP address plan for your  
network, here are some suggestions.  
1. A valid IP address has 4 fields: a.b.c.d, for most of home and  
company users, it’s suggested to use 192.168.c.d, where c is  
an integer between 0 and 254, and d is an integer between 1  
and 254. This router is capable to work with up to 253 clients,  
so you can set ‘d’ field of IP address of router as 1 or 254 (or  
any number between 1 and 254), and pick a number between 0  
and 254 for field ‘c’.  
2. In most cases, you should use ‘255.255.255.0’ as subnet mask,  
which allows up to 253 clients (this also meets router’s  
capability of working with up to 253 clients).  
3. For all servers and network devices which will provide  
services to other people (like Internet service, print service,  
and file service), they should use static IP address. Give each  
of them a unique number between 1 and 253, and maintain a  
list, so everyone can locate those servers easily.  
4. For computers which are not dedicated to provide specific  
service to others, they should use dynamic IP address.  
If you don’t really understand the descriptions listed above, don’t  
73  
worry! We will provide recommended setup values below.

TIPS: Some examples of WEP key  
(Don’t use those examples; use the one of your own!):  
ASCII (5 characters): pilot  
phone 23561 2Hyux #@xmL  
ASCII (13 characters): digitalFAMILY 82Jh26xHy3m&n  
Hex (10 characters): 287d2aa732  
1152dabc85  
Hex (26 characters): 9284bcda8427c9e036f7abcd84  
To improve security level, do not use those words which can be found  
in a dictionary or too easy to remember! (‘pilot’ and ‘phone’ listed  
above are bad examples; just intended to show you how a WEP key  
look like). Wireless clients will remember the WEP key, so you only  
have to input the WEP key on wireless client once, and it’s worth to

2-8-5 Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)  
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is the simplest way to build connection  
between wireless network clients and this wireless router. You don’t have  
to select encryption mode and input a long encryption passphrase every  
time when you need to setup a wireless client, you only have to press a  
button on wireless client and this wireless router, and the WPS will do the  
rest for you.  
This wireless router supports two types of WPS: Push-Button  
Configuration (PBC), and PIN code. If you want to use PBC, you have to  
push a specific button on the wireless client to start WPS mode, and  
switch this wireless router to WPS mode too. You can push Reset/WPS  
button of this wireless router, or click ‘Start PBC’ button in the web  
configuration interface to do this; if you want to use PIN code, you have  
to know the PIN code of wireless client and switch it to WPS mode, then  
provide the PIN code of the wireless client you wish to connect to this  
wireless router. The detailed instructions are listed follow:  
Please click ‘Wireless’ menu on the left of web management interface,

2-8-6 Security Tips for Wireless Network  
Here are some quick tips to help you improve the security level of your  
wireless network:  
1. Never use simple words (like school, apple and computer) as WEP  
encryption or WPA passphrase.  
95  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
2. A complicated (the combination of number, alphabet, even symbol,  
and long enough) WEP key and WPA passphrase is much safer than  
simple and short ones. Remember that the wireless client is capable to  
keep the key or passphrase for you, so you only have to input the  
complicated key or passphrase once. It’s not too trouble but will  
greatly improve security level.  
3. You can hide the ESSID of this router by set ‘Broadcast ESSID’  
option to ‘Disable’. Your wireless router will not be found by other  
people in proximity if they’re just using the AP scanning function of  
their wireless client, and this can reduce the chance of being intruded.  
4. Use ‘Access Control’ function described in section 2-7-4, so those  
people who are not in your list will not be able to connect to your  
network.

Chapter III Advanced Functions  
3-1 Quality of Service (QoS)  
Quality of service provides an efficient way for computers on the network  
to share the internet bandwidth with a promised quality of internet service.  
Without QoS, all computers and devices on the network will compete  
with each other to get internet bandwidth, and some applications which  
require guaranteed bandwidth (like video streaming and network  
telephone) will be affected, therefore an unpleasing result will occur, like  
the interruption of video / audio transfer.  
With this function, you can limit the maximum bandwidth or give a  
guaranteed bandwidth for a specific computer, to avoid said unpleasing  
result from happening.  
3-1-1 Basic QoS Settings

3-2 Network Address Translation (NAT)  
Network address translations solve the problem if sharing a single IP  
address to multiple computers. Without NAT, all computers must be  
assigned with a valid Internet IP address to get connected to Internet, but  
Internet service providers only provide very few IP addresses to every  
user. Therefore it’s necessary to use NAT technology to share a single  
Internet IP address to multiple computers on local network, so everyone  
can get connected to Internet.  
Please follow the following instructions to set NAT parameters:

b. If all LEDs on this router are off, please  
check the status of A/C power adapter, and  
make sure it’s correctly powered.  
c. You must use the same IP address section  
which router uses.  
d. Are you using MAC or IP address filter?  
Try to connect the router by another  
computer and see if it works; if not, please  
restore your router to factory default  
settings (pressing ‘reset’ button for over 10  
seconds).  
e. Set your computer to obtain an IP address  
automatically (DHCP), and see if your  
computer can get an IP address.  
f. If you did a firmware upgrade and this  
happens, contact your dealer of purchase for  
help.  
g. If all above solutions don’t work, contact  
the dealer of purchase for help.

if there’s something wrong with their  
service.  
f. If you just can’t connect to one or more  
website, but you can still use other internet  
services, please check URL/Keyword filter.  
g. Try to reset the router and try again later.  
h. Reset the device provided by your Internet  
service provider too.

4-3 Glossary  
Default Gateway (Router): Every non-router IP device needs to configure a default  
gateway’s IP address. When the device sends out an IP packet, if the destination is not  
on the same network, the device has to send the packet to its default gateway, which  
will then send it out towards the destination.  
DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol automatically gives  
every computer on your home network an IP address.  
DNS Server IP Address: DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows  
Internet servers to have a domain name (such as www.Portablerouter.com) and one or  
more IP addresses (such as 192.34.45.8). A DNS server keeps a database of Internet  
servers and their respective domain names and IP addresses, so that when a domain  
name is requested (as in typing "Portablerouter.com" into your Internet browser), the  
user is sent to the proper IP address. The DNS server IP address used by the  
computers on your home network is the location of the DNS server your ISP has  
assigned to you.  
DSL Modem: DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line. A DSL modem uses your  
existing phone lines to transmit data at high speeds.  
Ethernet: A standard for computer networks. Ethernet networks are connected by  
special cables and hubs, and move data around at up to 10/100 million bits per second  
(Mbps).  
Idle Timeout: Idle Timeout is designed so that after there is no traffic to the Internet  
for a pre-configured amount of time, the connection will automatically be  
disconnected.  
IPAddress and Network (Subnet) Mask: IP stands for Internet Protocol. An IP  
address consists of a series of four numbers separated by periods, which identifies a  
single, unique Internet computer host in an IP network. Example: 192.168.2.1. It  
consists of 2 portions: the IP network address, and the host identifier.  
The IP address is a 32-bit binary pattern, which can be represented as four cascaded  
decimal numbers separated by “.”: aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa, where each “aaa” can be anything  
from 000 to 255, or as four cascaded binary numbers separated by “.”:  
bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb, where each “b” can either be 0 or 1.  
142

A network mask is also a 32-bit binary pattern, and consists of consecutive leading  
1’s followed by consecutive trailing 0’s, such as  
11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000. Therefore sometimes a network mask can  
also be described simply as “x” number of leading 1’s.  
When both are represented side by side in their binary forms, all bits in the IP address  
that correspond to 1’s in the network mask become part of the IP network address, and  
the remaining bits correspond to the host ID.  
For example, if the IP address for a device is, in its binary form,  
11011001.10110000.10010000.00000111, and if its network mask is,  
11111111.11111111.11110000.00000000  
It means the device’s network address is  
11011001.10110000.10010000.00000000, and its host ID is,  
00000000.00000000.00000000.00000111. This is a convenient and efficient method  
for routers to route IP packets to their destination.  
ISP Gateway Address: (see ISP for definition). The ISP Gateway Address is an IP  
address for the Internet router located at the ISP's office.  
ISP: Internet Service Provider. An ISP is a business that provides connectivity to the  
Internet for individuals and other businesses or organizations.  
LAN: Local Area Network. A LAN is a group of computers and devices connected  
together in a relatively small area (such as a house or an office). Your home network  
is considered a LAN.  
MAC Address: MAC stands for Media Access Control. A MAC address is the  
hardware address of a device connected to a network. The MAC address is a unique  
identifier for a device with an Ethernet interface. It is comprised of two parts: 3 bytes  
of data that corresponds to the Manufacturer ID (unique for each manufacturer), plus  
3 bytes that are often used as the product’s serial number.  
NAT: Network Address Translation. This process allows all of the computers on your  
home network to use one IP address. Using the portable router’s NAT capability, you  
can access the Internet from any computer on your home network without having to  
purchase more IP addresses from your ISP.  
Port: Network Clients (LAN PC) uses port numbers to distinguish one network  
application/protocol over another. Below is a list of common applications and  
protocol/port numbers:

PPPoE: Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. Point-to-Point Protocol is a secure  
data transmission method originally created for dial-up connections; PPPoE is for  
Ethernet connections. PPPoE relies on two widely accepted standards, Ethernet and  
the Point-to-Point Protocol. It is a communications protocol for transmitting  
information over Ethernet between different manufacturers  
Protocol: A protocol is a set of rules for interaction agreed upon between multiple  
parties so that when they interface with each other based on such a protocol, the  
interpretation of their behavior is well defined and can be made objectively, without  
confusion or misunderstanding.  
Router: A router is an intelligent network device that forwards packets between  
different networks based on network layer address information such as IP addresses.  
Subnet Mask: A subnet mask, which may be a part of the TCP/IP information  
provided by your ISP, is a set of four numbers (e.g. 255.255.255.0) configured like an  
IP address. It is used to create IP address numbers used only within a particular  
network (as opposed to valid IP address numbers recognized by the Internet, which  
must be assigned by InterNIC).  
TCP/IP, UDP: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and  
Unreliable Datagram Protocol (UDP). TCP/IP is the standard protocol for data  
transmission over the Internet. Both TCP and UDP are transport layer protocol. TCP

performs proper error detection and error recovery, and thus is reliable. UDP on the  
other hand is not reliable. They both run on top of the IP (Internet Protocol), a  
network layer protocol.  
WAN: Wide Area Network. A network that connects computers located in  
geographically separate areas (e.g. different buildings, cities, countries). The Internet  
is a wide area network.  
Web-based management Graphical User Interface (GUI): Many devices support a  
graphical user interface that is based on the web browser. This means the user can use  
the familiar Netscape or Microsoft Internet Explorer to Control/configure or monitor  
the device being managed.
