Attach the Antennas  
You must install the antennas for a 4G LTE™ connection. The antennas are interchangeable.  
To attach the antennas:  
1. Align the antennas with the antenna posts on the router.  
2. Attach the antennas on the threaded antenna posts, ensuring that the connection is secure.  
3. Adjust the antenna positions.  
You can swivel the antennas in any direction.  
Find the Best Spot for Your Router  
The router lets you access your network from anywhere within the operating range of your  
wireless network. However, the operating distance or range of your wireless connection  
depends on where you put your router. For example, the thickness and number of walls the  
wireless signal passes through can limit the range.  
Position your router upright. Place the router near an AC power outlet in a location with a  
strong wireless broadband signal, such as near a window.

Block Services from the Internet  
Services are functions that server computers perform at the request of client computers. For  
example, web servers serve web pages, time servers serve time and date information, and  
game hosts serve data about players’ moves. When a computer on the Internet sends a  
request for service to a server computer, a port number identifies the requested service. This  
number displays as the destination port number in the transmitted IP packets. For example, a  
packet that is sent with the destination port number 80 is an HTTP (web server) request.  
The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF at http://www.ietf.org/) defines service numbers  
for many common protocols and they are published in RFC1700, “Assigned Numbers.”  
Authors of the applications typically choose service numbers from the range 1024–65535.  
Although the router already holds a list of many service port numbers, you are not limited to  
these choices. You can often find port number information by contacting the publisher of the  
application, by asking user groups or newsgroups, or by searching.  
The Block Services screen lets you add and block specific Internet services by computers on  
your network. This is called service blocking or port filtering. To add a service for blocking,  
first find out which port number or range of numbers the application uses.  
To block services:  
1. Launch an Internet browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the  
network.  
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com.  
A login screen displays.  
3. Enter the router user name and password.  
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and  
password are case-sensitive.  
The BASIC Home screen displays.  
4. Select ADVANCED > Security > Block Services.  
5. Specify when to block the services:  
To block the services all the time, select the Always radio button.

a. If you know that the application uses either TCP or UDP, select the appropriate  
protocol; otherwise, select TCP/UDP (both).  
b. Enter the starting port and ending port numbers.  
If the service uses a single port number, enter that number in both fields.  
To find out which port numbers the service or application uses, you can contact  
the publisher of the application, ask user groups or newsgroups, or search on the  
Internet.  
10. To specify how to filter the services, select one of the following radio buttons:  
Only This IP Address. Block services for a single computer.

Port Forwarding to Permit External Host Communications  
In both the preceding examples, your computer initiates an application session with a server  
computer on the Internet. However, you might 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 remote computer’s  
browser needs to access 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  
192.168.0.123.”  
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 handling of incoming port 80 traffic. Your port forwarding rule specifies that incoming port  
80 traffic should be forwarded to local IP address 192.168.0.123. Therefore, your router  
modifies the destination information in the request message:  
The destination address is replaced with 192.168.0.123.  
Your router then sends this request message to your local network.  
3. Your web server at 192.168.0.123 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.  
You can usually find this information by contacting the publisher of the application or the  
relevant user groups or news groups.

Set Up Port Forwarding to a Local Server  
If you have a server in your home network, you can allow certain types of incoming traffic to  
reach the server. For example, you might want to make a local web server, FTP server, or  
game server visible and available to the Internet.  
The router can forward incoming traffic with specific protocols to computers on your local  
network. You can specify the servers for applications and you can also specify a default DMZ  
server to which the router forwards all other incoming protocols.  
To forward specific incoming protocols:  
1. Decide which type of service, application, or game you want to provide.  
2. Find the local IP address of the computer on your network that will provide the service.  
The server computer must always have the same IP address. To specify this setting, use  
the reserved IP address feature. For more information, see Reserve LAN IP Addresses  
3. Log in to the router.  
4. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Port Forwarding/Port Triggering.  
5. Leave the Port Forwarding radio button selected as the service type.

Application Example: Make a Local Web Server Public  
If you host a web server on your local network, you can use port forwarding to allow web  
requests from anyone on the Internet to reach your web server.  
To make a local web server public:  
1. Assign your web server either a fixed IP address or a dynamic IP address using DHCP  
address reservation.  
In this example, your router always gives your web server an IP address of 192.168.0.33.  
2. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Port Forwarding/Port Triggering.  
3. In the Port Forwarding/Port Triggering screen, configure the router to forward the HTTP  
service to the local address of your web server at 192.168.0.33.  
HTTP (port 80) is the standard protocol for web servers.  
4. (Optional) Register a host name with a Dynamic DNS service, and configure your router to  
use the name.  
To access your web server from the Internet, a remote user must know the IP address  
that your ISP assigned. However, if you use a Dynamic DNS service, the remote user can  
reach your server by a user-friendly Internet name, such as mynetgear.dyndns.org.  
5. Click the Apply button.  
How the Router Implements the Port Forwarding Rule  
The following sequence shows the effects of a port forwarding rule:  
1. When you type the URL www.example.com in your browser, the browser sends 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.  
2. Your router receives the message and finds your port forwarding rule for incoming port 80  
traffic.  
3. The router changes the destination in the message to IP address 192.168.0.123 and sends  
the message to that computer.  
4. Your web server at IP address 192.168.0.123 receives the request and sends a reply  
message to your router.

U.S. Cellular® 4G LTE™ Router (LG2200D)  
5. Your router performs Network Address Translation (NAT) on the source IP address, and  
sends the reply through the Internet to the computer or wireless device that sent the web  
page request.  
Set Up Port Triggering  
Port triggering is a dynamic extension of port forwarding that is useful in these cases:  
An application must use port forwarding to more than one local computer (but not  
simultaneously).  
An application must open incoming ports that are different from the outgoing port.  
With port triggering, the router monitors traffic to the Internet from an outbound “trigger” port  
that you specify. For outbound traffic from that port, the router saves the IP address of the  
computer that sent the traffic. The router temporarily opens the incoming port or ports that  
you specify in your rule, and forwards that incoming traffic to that destination.  
Port forwarding creates a static mapping of a port number or range of ports to a single local  
computer. Port triggering can dynamically open ports to any computer when needed and  
close the ports when they are no longer needed.  
Note: If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer  
connections, real-time communications such as instant messaging, or  
remote assistance (a feature in Windows XP), enable Universal Plug  
and Play (UPnP). For more information, see Universal Plug and Play

5. Select the Port Triggering radio button.  
6. Clear the Disable Port Triggering check box.  
If this check box is selected, the router does not use port triggering even if you have  
specified port triggering settings.  
7. In the Port Triggering Time-out field, enter a value up to 9999 minutes.  
This value controls how long the inbound ports stay open when the router detects no  
activity. This value is required because the router cannot detect when the application  
terminates.  
Application Example: Port Triggering for Internet Relay Chat  
Some application servers, such as FTP and IRC servers, send replies to multiple port  
numbers. Using port triggering, you can tell the router to open more incoming ports when a  
particular outgoing port starts 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 must also allow  
incoming traffic on port 113 to reach the originating computer.” 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.  
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 observing the destination port number of 6667, your  
router creates another session entry to send any incoming port 113 traffic to your computer.

U.S. Cellular® 4G LTE™ Router (LG2200D)  
5. The IRC server sends a return message to your router using the NAT-assigned source port  
(for example, port 33333) as the destination port. The IRC server also sends an “identify”  
message to your router with destination port 113.  
6. When your router receives the incoming message to destination port 33333, it checks its  
session table to see if a session is active for port number 33333. Finding an active session,  
the router restores the original address information replaced by NAT and sends this reply  
message to your computer.  
7. When your router receives the incoming message to destination port 113, it checks its  
session table and finds an active session for port 113 associated with your computer. The  
router replaces the message’s destination IP address with your computer’s IP address 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 port numbers 33333 or 113.

NAT Filtering. Network Address Translation (NAT) determines how the router  
processes inbound traffic. Secured NAT protects computers on the LAN from attacks

Change the MTU Size  
The maximum transmission unit (MTU) is the largest data packet a network device transmits.  
When one network device communicates across the Internet with another, the data packets  
travel through many devices along the way. If a device in the data path has a lower MTU  
setting than the other devices, the data packets have to be split or “fragmented” to  
accommodate the device with the smallest MTU.  
The best MTU setting for NETGEAR equipment is often just the default value. In some  
situations, changing the value fixes one problem but causes another. Leave the MTU setting  
unchanged unless one of these situations occurs:  
You have problems connecting to your ISP or other Internet service, and the ISP  
technical support recommends changing the MTU setting. These web-based applications  
might require an MTU change:  
-
-
-
-
A secure website that does not open, or displays only part of a web page.  
Yahoo email.  
MSN portal.  
America Online’s DSL service.  
You use VPN and have severe performance problems.  
You used a program to optimize MTU for performance reasons, and now you have  
connectivity or performance problems.  
Note: An incorrect MTU setting can cause Internet communication  
problems. For instance, you might not be able to access certain  
websites, frames within websites, secure login pages, or FTP or POP  
servers.  
If you suspect an MTU problem, a common solution is to change the MTU to 1400. If you are  
willing to experiment, you can gradually reduce the MTU from the maximum value of 1500

WARNING:  
DMZ servers pose a security risk. A computer designated as the  
default DMZ server loses much of the protection of the firewall  
and is exposed to exploits from the Internet. If compromised, the  
DMZ server computer can be used to attack other computers on  
your network.  
The router usually detects and discards incoming traffic from the Internet that is not 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 the router  
forward the traffic to one computer on your network. This computer is called the default DMZ  
server.

router assigns IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected to  
the LAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the router.  
These addresses must be part of the same IP address subnet as the router’s LAN IP  
address. Using the default addressing scheme, define a range between 192.168.0.2 and  
192.168.0.254, although you can save part of the range for devices with fixed addresses.

Quality of Service Setup  
QoS is an advanced feature that you can use to prioritize some types of traffic ahead of  
others. The router can provide QoS prioritization over the wireless link and on the Internet  
connection.  
WMM QoS for Wireless Multimedia Applications  
The router supports WiFi Multimedia Quality of Service (WMM QoS) to prioritize wireless  
voice and video traffic over the wireless link. WMM QoS provides prioritization of wireless  
data packets from different applications based on four access categories: voice, video, best  
effort, and background. For an application to receive the benefits of WMM QoS, both it and  
the client running that application must have WMM enabled. Legacy applications that do not  
support WMM and applications that do not require QoS are assigned to the best effort  
category, which receives a lower priority than voice and video. WMM QoS is enabled by  
default.  
To disable WMM QoS:  
1. Launch an Internet browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the  
network.  
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com.  
A login screen displays.

Set Up a Wireless Distribution System  
The router can act as a wireless base station or a wireless repeater in a wireless distribution  
system (WDS). A WDS expands a wireless network through multiple access points. A  
wireless base station connects to the Internet, can have wired and wireless clients, and  
sends its wireless signal to an access point that functions as a wireless repeater. A wireless  
repeater can also have wired and wireless clients, but connects to the Internet through the  
wireless base station.  
Note: To use the wireless repeating function, your router cannot have  
security enabled and cannot use the auto channel feature.

You must set up a wireless base station and a wireless repeater:  
Wireless base station. The router acts as the parent access point that bridges traffic to  
and from the child repeater access point. The base station also handles wireless and  
wired local computers. To configure this mode, you must know the MAC addresses of the  
child repeater access point. Often, the MAC address is on the product label.  
Wireless repeater. The router sends all traffic from its local wireless or wired computers  
to a remote access point. To configure this mode, you must know the MAC address of the  
remote parent access point.  
The router is always in dual-band concurrent mode, unless you turn off one radio. If you  
enable the wireless repeater in either radio band, the wireless base station or wireless  
repeater cannot be enabled in the other radio band. However, if you enable the wireless base  
station in either radio band and use the other radio band as a wireless router or wireless base  
station, dual-band concurrent mode is not affected.  
Before you an set up a wireless network with WDS, both access points must meet the  
following conditions:  
Use the same SSID, wireless channel, and encryption mode.  
Be on the same LAN IP subnet. That is, all of the access point LAN IP addresses are in  
the same network.  
All LAN devices (wired and wireless computers) are configured to operate in the same  
LAN network address range as the access points.

Access a USB Storage Device  
ReadySHARE lets you access and share a USB drive connected to the router USB port. (If  
your USB drive has special drivers, it is not compatible.)  
To connect a USB storage device:  
1. Insert your USB storage device into a USB port on the rear panel of the router.  
2. If your USB drive has a power supply, you must use it when you connect the USB drive to  
the router.  
It might take up to two minutes before the USB device is ready for sharing. By default, the  
USB drive is available to all computers on your local area network (LAN).  
To access the USB drive from a Mac:  
1. Select Go > Connect to Server.  
2. Enter smb://readyshare as the server address.  
3. Click the Connect button.  
To access the USB drive from a Windows computer:  
1. Select Start > Run.  
2. Enter \\readyshare in the dialog box and click the OK button.  
To map the USB device to a Windows network drive:  
2. In the ReadySHARE USB Storage Access pane, click the PC Utility link.  
The ReadyShareConnect.exe file is downloaded to your computer.

6. Click the Finish button.  
The USB drive is mapped to the drive letter that you specified.  
To access the USB drive from a remote computer:  
1. Launch a web browser.  
2. Connect using the router’s Internet port IP address.  
If you are using Dynamic DNS, you can type the DNS name, rather than the IP address.  
You can view the router’s Internet IP address on the BASIC Home screen.  
To access the USB drive with FTP from a remote computer:  
1. Make sure that the FTP check box is selected in the Access Method section of the USB  
Storage (Advanced Settings) screen.  
2. Launch a web browser.  
3. Enter ftp:// and the Internet port IP address in the address field of the browser.  
For example, type ftp://10.1.65.4.  
If you are using Dynamic DNS, you can type the DNS name rather than the IP address.  
4. Enter the account name and password for the account that has access rights to the USB  
drive.  
The user name (account name) for All – no password is guest.

The directories of the USB drive that your account has access to display. For example,  
you could see share/partition1/directory1. You can now read and copy files from the USB  
directory.  
File-Sharing Scenarios  
You can share files on the USB drive for a wide variety of business and recreational  
purposes. The files can be any Windows, Mac, or Linux file type including text, Word,  
PowerPoint, Excel, MP3, pictures, and multimedia files. USB drive applications include:  
Sharing multimedia such as MP3 files, pictures, and other multimedia with local and  
remote users.  
Sharing resources on your network. You can store files in a central location so that you do  
not have to power up a computer to perform local sharing. In addition, you can share files  
between Macintosh, Linux, and Windows computers by using the USB drive as a  
go-between across the systems.  
Sharing files such as Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, and text files with  
remote users.  
A few common uses are described in the following sections.  
Share Photos  
You can create your own central storage location for photos and multimedia. This method  
eliminates the need to log in to (and pay for) an external photo-sharing site.  
To share files with your friends and family:  
Insert your USB drive into the USB port on the router either directly or with a USB cable.  
Computers on your local area network (LAN) can automatically access this USB drive  
using a web browser or Microsoft Networking.  
You can specify read-only access or allow access from the Internet. For more information,  
Store Files in a Central Location for Printing  
This scenario is for a family that has one high-quality color printer directly attached to a  
computer, but not shared on the local area network (LAN). This family does not have a print  
server.  
One family member has photos on a Macintosh computer that she wants to print.  
The photo-capable color printer is directly attached to a Windows computer, but not  
shared on the network.  
The Mac and Windows computer are not visible to each other on the network.

U.S. Cellular® 4G LTE™ Router (LG2200D)  
To print photos from a Mac on the printer attached to a Windows computer:  
1. On the Mac, access the USB drive by typing \\readyshare in the address field of a web  
browser. Then copy the photos to the USB drive.  
2. On the Window computer, use a web browser or Microsoft Networking to copy the files from  
the USB drive to the computer. Then print the files.  
Share Large Files over the Internet  
Sending files that are larger than 5 MB can pose a problem for many email systems. The  
router allows you to share large files such as PowerPoint presentations or .zip files over the  
Internet. You can use FTP to download shared files from the router.  
Sharing files with a remote colleague involves the following considerations:  
The two user accounts are admin and guest. The password for admin is the same one  
that you use to access the router. By default, it is password. The guest user account has  
no password.  
On the FTP site, the person receiving the files uses the guest user account and enters the  
password. (FTP requires that you type something in the password field.)  
Be sure to select the FTP (via Internet) check box in the USB Storage (Advanced  
Settings) screen. This option supports both downloading and uploading of files.  
Note: You can select the HTTP (via Internet) check box on the USB Storage  
(Advanced Settings) screen to share large files. This option supports  
downloading files only.

U.S. Cellular® 4G LTE™ Router (LG2200D)  
Static Routes  
Static routes provide more routing information to your router. Typically, you do not need to  
add static routes. You must configure static routes only for unusual cases such as multiple  
routers or multiple IP subnets on your network.  
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 address 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 gateway, 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 company’s firewall  
is likely to deny the request.  
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 field specifies that all traffic for these addresses should be  
forwarded to the ISDN router at 192.168.0.100.  
A metric value of 1 works because the ISDN router is on the LAN.  
Private is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP is activated.  
To set up a static route:  
1. Launch an Internet browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the  
network.  
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com.  
A login screen displays.  
3. Enter the router user name and password.  
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and  
password are case-sensitive.

5. Click the Add button.  
6. In the Route Name field, type a name for this static route (for identification purposes only).  
7. Select the Private check box if you want to limit access to the LAN only.  
If Private is selected, the static route is not reported in RIP.  
8. Select the Active check box to make this route effective.  
9. Type the IP address of the final destination.  
10. Type the IP subnet mask for this destination. If the destination is a single host, type  
255.255.255.255.  
11. Type the gateway IP address, which must be on the same LAN segment as the router.  
12. Type a number from 1 through 15 as the metric value.  
This value represents the number of routers between your network and the destination.  
Usually, a setting of 2 or 3 works, but if this is a direct connection, set it to 1.  
13. Click the Apply button.  
The static route is added.

Universal Plug and Play  
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is turned on by default in the router. UPnP helps devices  
such as Internet appliances and computers, access the network and connect to other devices  
as needed. UPnP devices can automatically discover services from other registered UPnP  
devices on the network. Applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections,  
or real-time communications such as instant messaging or remote assistance (a feature in  
Windows XP), use UPnP.  
To specify Universal Plug and Play settings:

network.  
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com.

5. Select the Turn UPnP On check box.  
By default, this check box is selected. You can enable or disable UPnP for automatic  
device configuration. If the Turn UPnP On check box is cleared, the router does not allow  
any device to automatically control router resources such as port forwarding.  
6. In the Advertisement Period field, type the number of minutes.  
This setting specifies how often the router 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 can compromise the freshness of the device status, but can  
significantly reduce network traffic.  
7. In the Advertisement Time to Live field, type the number of hops.  
Hops are the UPnP steps a packet takes between routers. The number of hops can range  
from 1 to 255. The default value is 4 hops, which should be fine for most home networks.

Troubleshoot with the LEDs  
You can use the LEDs on the front panel of the router for troubleshooting.  
After you turn on power to the router, the following sequence of events should occur:  
1. The Power LED  
lights amber within a few seconds, indicating that the self-test is  
running.  
2. After about 30 seconds, verify the following:  
The Power LED lights solid white.  
The Internet LED is lit.  
Power LED Is Off or Blinking  
Make sure that the power cord is securely connected to your router and that the power  
adapter is securely connected to a functioning power outlet.  
Check that you are using the 12 V DC, 2.5A power adapter that NETGEAR supplied for  
this product.  
If the Power LED blinks slowly and continuously, the router firmware is corrupted. This  
can happen if a firmware upgrade is interrupted, or if the router detects a problem with the  
firmware. If the error persists, you have a hardware problem.  
Power LED Stays Amber  
When the router is turned on, the Power LED lights amber for about 20 seconds and then  
lights white. If the LED does not turn white, the router has a problem.  
If the Power LED is still amber one minute after you turn on power to the router:  
1. Turn off the power and then turn it back on to see if the router recovers.  
2. Press and hold the Restore Factory Settings button.  
The router returns to its factory settings.  
LEDs Never Turn Off  
When the router is turned on, the LEDs turn on for about 10 seconds and then turn off. If all  
the LEDs stay on, there is a fault within the router.  
If all LEDs are still on one minute after power-up:  
Cycle the power to see if the router recovers.  
Press and hold the Restore Factory Settings button to return the router to its factory  
settings. For more information, see Troubleshoot Your Network Using the Ping Utility on

Internet LED Is Off  
Check the following:  
Make sure that the Ethernet cable connections are secure at the router and at the  
modem.  
Make sure that power is turned on to the connected modem or computer.  
Be sure that you are using the correct cable.  
When connecting the router’s Internet port to a modem, use the cable that was supplied  
with the modem. This cable could be a standard straight-through Ethernet cable or an  
Ethernet crossover cable.  
WiFi LED Is Off  
If the WiFi LED stays off, check to see if the WiFi On/Off button on the router has been  
pressed. This button turns the wireless radios in the router on and off. The WiFi LED is lit  
when the wireless radio is turned on.  
Cannot Log In to the Router  
If you are unable to log in to the router 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 that the IP address of your computer is on the same subnet as the router. If  
you are using the recommended addressing scheme, your computer’s address is in the  
range of 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254.  
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 if 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 sets the router’s IP address to  
192.168.0.1. For more information, see Factory Settings on page 133.  
Make sure that your browser has Java, JavaScript, or ActiveX enabled. If you are using  
Internet Explorer, click the Refresh button 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 login user name is admin,  
and the default password is password. Make sure that Caps Lock is off when you enter  
this information.  
Do not install your router as an additional router behind another router in your network.  
This network configuration is not supported.

U.S. Cellular® 4G LTE™ Router (LG2200D)  
If you are attempting to set up your NETGEAR router as a replacement for an ADSL  
gateway in your network, the router cannot perform many gateway services. For  
example, the router cannot convert ADSL or cable data into Ethernet networking  
information. This network configuration is not supported.  
Problems with Date and Time  
The Email 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 just completed  
configuring the router, wait at least five 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 Email  
screen, select or clear the Automatically adjust for daylight savings time check box.  
Forgotten WiFi Password  
The default WiFi network name and password are on the product label. These settings are  
unique to your router, so you do not have to change them. If you did change the WiFi  
password and have forgotten it, you can use an Ethernet cable to connect a computer and  
log in to the router so you can view its WiFi settings.  
To use an Ethernet connection to log in and view the WiFi settings:  
1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect a computer to a LAN Ethernet port on the router.  
2. Launch an Internet browser from the computer.  
3. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com.  
A login screen displays.  
4. Enter the router user name and password.  
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and  
password are case-sensitive.  
The BASIC Home screen displays.  
5. Select Wireless.

WiFi Connectivity  
If you are having trouble connecting wirelessly to the router, try to isolate the problem:  
Does the wireless device or computer that you are using find your wireless network?  
If not, check the WiFi LED on the router. If it is off, you can press the WiFi On/Off button  
on the router to turn the router wireless radios back on.  
If you disabled the router’s SSID broadcast, your wireless network is hidden and does not  
display in your wireless client’s scanning list. (By default, SSID broadcast is enabled.)  
Does your wireless device support the security that you are using for your wireless  
network (WPA or WPA2)?  
If your wireless device finds your network, but the signal strength is weak, check these  
conditions:  
Is your router too far from your computer, or too close? Place your computer near the  
router, but at least 6 feet (1.8 meters) away, and see if the signal strength improves.  
Are objects between the router and your computer blocking the WiFi signal?  
Troubleshoot Your Network Using the Ping Utility  
Most network 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 network by using the ping utility in your computer or workstation.  
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 Windows computer:  
1. From the Windows toolbar, select Start > Run.  
2. In the field provided, type ping followed by the IP address of the router, as in this example:  
ping www.routerlogin.net  
3. Click the OK button.  
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

U.S. Cellular® 4G LTE™ Router (LG2200D)  
If the path is not functioning correctly, you could have one of the following problems:  
Wrong physical connections.  
For a wired connection, make sure that the numbered LAN port LED is lit for the port to  
which you are connected.  
Check that the appropriate LEDs are on for your network devices. If your router and  
computer are connected to a separate Ethernet switch, make sure that the link LEDs are  
lit for the switch ports that are connected to your computer and router.  
Wrong network configuration.  
Verify that the Ethernet card driver software and TCP/IP software are both installed and  
configured on your computer.  
Verify that the IP address for your router and your computer 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, select Start > Run.  
2. In the Windows Run window, type:  
ping -n 10 <IP address>  
where <IP address> is the IP address of a remote device such as your ISP’s DNS server.  
If the path is functioning correctly, replies like those shown 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 gateway.  
If DHCP assigns the IP configuration of your computer, this information is not visible in  
your computer Network Control Panel. Verify that the IP address of the router is listed as  
the default gateway.  
Check to see that the network address of your computer (the portion of the IP address  
specified by the subnet mask) 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 Internet Setup screen.  
Your ISP could be rejecting the Ethernet MAC addresses of all but one of your  
computers.  
Many broadband ISPs restrict access by allowing traffic only from the MAC address of  
your broadband modem. Some ISPs additionally restrict access to the MAC address of a  
single computer connected to that modem. If this is the case, configure your router to  
“clone” or “spoof” the MAC address from the authorized computer.

Set Up an Ethernet WAN Internet  
Connection  
10  
In addition to using your router with a 4G LTE™ Internet connection as usual, you can set it up to  
use an Ethernet WAN connection to broadband Internet service. To use an Ethernet WAN  
connection, you need a broadband modem with Internet service (such as a broadband cable  
modem and an account with a cable modem ISP).  
When your Internet service starts, your Internet service provider (ISP) typically gives you all the  
information needed to connect to the Internet. For DSL service, you might need the following  
information to set up your router:  
The ISP configuration information for your DSL account.  
ISP login name and password.  
Fixed or static IP address settings (special deployment by ISP; this setting is rare).  
If you cannot locate this information, ask your ISP to provide it. When your Internet connection is  
working, you no longer need to launch the ISP login program on your computer to access the  
Internet. When you start an Internet application, your router automatically logs you in.

Troubleshoot an Ethernet WAN Internet Connection  
Check these possible sources of trouble if you are having difficulty connecting to or browsing  
the Internet.  
Connect to the Internet  
If you cannot connect to Internet, check the following:  
1. The Internet account is active.  
If your ISP has provided you with a SIM card and you have not inserted it into the SIM  
card slot on the router yet, do so now. For more information, see Attach the Antennas on

U.S. Cellular® 4G LTE™ Router (LG2200D)  
2. Wireless broadband coverage is available where the unit is located.  
3. Log in to the router and 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. A Signal  
Quality LED that is off indicates no coverage.  
b. Maintain recommended minimum distances between NETGEAR equipment and  
household appliances to reduce interference.  
5. Adjust the antenna positions.  
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, computer, and verify  
the router address.
