I have an Axess-Tel AXW-D1900 Evdo Modem. In the box it says that this model has router capabilities. Does anyone know how tu enable this?

Apparently there's no wireless routing capabilities. You just connect the ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port. Check out the info at their website http://www.axesstel.com/fixed/broadband_evdo_modem.php?id=1

I checked out the page but it's a general page for all three models. I'll try to take a picture of the oox later and put it on.

I could be wrong but from what I read this is a standalone modem that connects to the individual pc and/or laptop via ethernet cable. Though technically not a router it does appear to "route" the EVDO signal to the devices connected to it by way of the ethernet connection.

I can't tell how many ethernet ports are on it but it says it has "Built-in DHCP" and that "Setting up a LAN or WAN as simple as plug-and-play". This is a modem. This stands in place of a PCMCIA card, express card, or USB card. It's apparently not built for mobility though considering it's size. Fire it up and it connects to the EVDO signal (that appears to be what the antennas are for) and then plug in your desktop and/or laptop. I guess you could create a wireless network by simply enabling ICS and adding a wireless access point.

This is what I get from reading what limited information I can find on this device. The link I posted is, as you said, for their devices in general but it appears that the different model numbers have to do with the EVDO frequencies they receive so I would think the info on the page applies to them all.

By the way, where in the world did you get this thing?
