Initial configuration - Access Point Names

When you get your Dovado 4GR, simply insert your USB modem into the USB port on the front and power up the router. Follow the instructions in the User Guide booklet to gain access to the configuration screen from a web browser. The configuration is platform-independent - you can run the initial configuration wizard from Windows, MacOS, Linux or even a wireless-enabled mobile phone or iPod touch.

The only difficult information required by the configuration wizard is the Access Point Name (APN) for your USB modem. In Ireland, the following APNs are in use:

• 02 - open.internet
• Three - 3ireland.ie (billpay)
• Three - 3internet (prepay)
• Meteor - isp.mymeteor.ie
• Vodafone - hs.vodafone.ie
• Vodafone - internet

Ultimately you can discover the correct Access Point Name by viewing the default profile provided with the software that comes pre-installed on the USB modem.
