Overview

 

Your TrueMobile 1184 Wireless Broadband Router came with factory default settings that should work for the majority of the network usage scenarios. However, there are cases where your network environment may require a different router configuration. 


Setup Wizard
:    Setup Wizard is a Windows-based software program included on your TrueMobile 1184 CD.  You can use this program to 1) install the router on your network and create an environment for multiple PCs to share Internet access, 2) add additional computers to the network, and 3) provide links to the User's Guide and the Dell support website.

Control Utility:    Control Utility is another Windows-based software program included on your TrueMobile 1184 CD. This utility is usually installed at the end of the router installation. It provides connection status information between your PC and the Internet and the ability to change a few management settings of the Wireless Broadband Router such as password, radio channel, and SSID.

Web-based Configuration Tool:    Web-Based Configuration Tool is for advanced configuration of the Wireless Braodband Router. It is a tool provided inside the router which can be accessed via the web browser on your PC.  This tool includes every basic and advanced configuration option for the Wireless Broadband Router.  For instance, you can allow other Internet users to access a Web server hosted on your local private network, or disable your wireless network.

NOTE: Setup Wizard or Control Utility must be run on Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP computers.
