  To ensure your Draytek Network Router's ISP settings are correct, verify that the 'Enable' option for Broadband Access and PPTP Link is selected. Confirm that 'WAN IP Network Settings' is properly configured. If you specify an IP address, ensure the 'IP Address', 'Subnet Mask', and 'Gateway' match the values provided by your ISP. Also, if applicable, check that the 'PPTP Server', 'Username', and 'Password' are correctly set according to your ISP's credentials. Always ensure the values you enter align with your ISP's specifications.

  If you're experiencing issues with your Draytek Network Router's 3G network connection, and the USB LED isn't lit, try removing and reinserting the modem. If that doesn't work, restart the router. Also, use the 3G USB Modem utility to disable the PIN code. Refer to the 3G USB Modem manual to verify if the modem is connected to the Internet via HSDPA mode.
