Does anyone have any ideas on how to configure the Pantech UML295 Data Modem to work with the Asus RT-AC68U Router ?
Tell us what version firmware the router has? Asus made it about as Plug & Play as they can. I’ll assume when you see the “USB Modem” page during Quick Internet Setup, you click Connect, and the router is waiting for additional information on the Basic Configuration page. Is this correct? Have you studied the router’s System Log for clues?
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP :>) !!!!
Firmware Version : 3.0.0.4.374_379; g9540d57
ASUS Support asked me to change the IP address of the router to; 192.168.3.1
That did nothing. Changed back to 192.168.1.1
I have system log saved as text file. Not sure how to forward it to you
Did you buy the router at Wal-Mart and do you still have the box and receipt and has it been less than 90 days since you bought it?
The UML295 is a “modem”, changing the router’s LAN side IP address won’t resolve a routing conflict that a modem with a built-in router, like a Jetpack that uses the same IP address as the router, would cause.
Does the UML295 work when attached to a computer and does it require VZ Access Manager? Does VZAM require information from you like a user ID andpassword?
RT-AC68U was a gift. purchased from an online retailer (not WalMart) less than two weeks ago.
I wanted to replace a Cradlepoint MBR95 which accepts the UML295 just fine !
It is connected as we speak ! I do not use a user ID or password for access to Verizon
Network with the Cradlepoint. It connects every time like a charm ! Since the RT-AC68U
gets such GREAT reviews I thought I would like to try it Have some lag time within the LAN
which I thought might be corrected with the more powerful RT-AC68U
Thank-you again for your help !
You’re welcome! Good feedback! Try this: Disconnect everything from the Asus except one Ethernet cable between a computer and a LAN port. Connect the modem to the USB 2.0 port. Reset the router by pressing and holding the reset button for 5 to 10 seconds and release. Wait 2 minutes for reset to complete.
Turn off any wireless connection on the computer. Open a browser, it should figure out to use the Ethernet connection and the router’s Quick Internet Setup page should open. If not, navigate to http://192.168.1.1 to open it. I can’t remember the particulars, but I think you press Go and the next page you setup an Admin password so do that.
The next page should be the USB Modem page – again, Asus has made it Plug & Play, all you should have to do is click Connect! Wait three to five minutes and it should figure it out.
If it still fails, continue with the setup and then save the System Log. You can “Mark (highlight), Copy (CTRL C) & Paste (CTRL V)” the last 25-30 lines of it to a post here or do the same thing with the log file itself. The log file is a TXT file you can open with Notepad, and Mark, Copy & Paste it to a message here.
