Please allow up to 45 seconds for your Network Adaptor to locate the Router. Please wait for the DSL light on the front of the router to turn to solid – this may take up to 1-2 mins (see 3.1 Troubleshooting the connection). 8. You are now ready to configure your ADSL and Wireless connection for the Billion 7300GX Modem/Router.

To set up your 3G connection your 3G datacard with SIM must be inserted firmly into the slot in the back of the router before powering up the device.
2.2 Setting up your 3G connection: You can configure your 3G connection to act as a backup (Autofailover mode), or as your primary connection.

If your have completed your ADSL and wireless configuration and your 3G datacard was inserted when you first powered up the router, please select Status from the menu on the left-hand side and go to section 2.3 to configure your 3G.

If your ADSL connection goes down, the router will automatically Failover to your 3G connection. The Status page will look like this. N.B. The time it takes to Failover is dependant on the settings in the router and the 3G signal strength. The Default settings of the router should enable Failover in around 1-2 mins.
2.4 Configuration of your 3G connection in primary mode: 1. To set the primary connection to 3G go to Advanced>Configuration>WAN> WAN Interface and select 3G from the drop down list in the Main Port field. 2. Click Apply to change the settings. Then click on Save Config at the bottom of the page and Apply to write your settings to Flash.

5. The default setting for your 3G connection is On Demand. This means that if there is no internet activity the 3G will disconnect after a set time. Once internet activity resumes (browsing, email etc.) the 3G will automatically reconnect. If you would prefer your 3G to be always on, you can change the settings by clicking the Always On button in the Connection field in the 3G WAN Profile and then clicking Apply, followed by Save Config and Apply again to save the settings. 6.
