How you configure your 3G MicroCell is dependent on what equipment you currently use to connect to the Internet.
• If you have either a gateway or modem and Wi-Fi router, follow OPTION A on page 9.
• If you only have a modem attached directly to your computer, follow OPTION B on page 10.
• If you have a modem, and a Wi-Fi router and want to prioritize your 3G MicroCell connection because other Internet
use impacts the 3G MicroCell’s performance, follow our Priority Mode Configuration which is OPTION C on page 11.
If you haven’t already activated your 3G MicroCell when you purchased it, you must
do so now.
1. Launch your web browser and visit:
att.com/3GMicroCell.
2. Locate the Activate my AT&T 3G MicroCell
TM
area on the lower portion of the
home page and click on the applicable link.
3. When prompted, enter your AT&T Online Wireless Account user name and
password. If you don’t have one, follow the on-screen instructions to create one.
4. Follow the remaining on-screen steps until you reach the confirmation screen.
Note: As an added benefit, when placing a 911 call while connected to your 3G
MicroCell, the full location address you provide in your online activation will be sent to
local emergency responders. A built-in Global Positioning System (GPS) feature helps
deliver this functionality.
Step 2: Configuration and Powering Up
• Place your MicroCell within 3 feet of a window, if possible.
• Make sure your MicroCell is at least 1 foot away from your gateway or modem and Wi-Fi router.
• Refer to FAQ 1.3 on page 16 for additional details on product placement.
Step 1: Online Activation
Write down your 3G MicroCell’s
serial number as you will need
it for online activation and for
future reference.
Serial # (S/N): -
Connect Your Devices with USB Cables?
If you currently use a USB cable to connect your modem and computer you will no longer be able to do so.
You have 2 cabling alternatives:
Alternative A: Remove the USB cable and install Ethernet cables according to Option A, B, or C as described above.
Note: This option requires a second Ethernet cable which is not included in your AT&T 3G MicroCell™ box.
Alternative B: Obtain USB-to-RJ45 adapters (not shown) and install one with the yellow Ethernet cable and the other with
your USB cable and then select from Option A, B, or C as described above.
