[Networking] pyrostic:
First of all, I would like to thank a couple guys on an IRC that helped me through the two days setting this up properly Art3mis and Sieva.

I hope this helps you all, as it has totally transformed my Airave experience. Although, this is not the Sprint recommended way of setting up the Airave, this is, in my opinion, the best/only way to do so.

This is a step by step guide for setting up your Airave behind your router, completely and fully.

I want to be honest, and let you all know. I hardly make tutorials, unless there aren't any other good ones out there. Furthermore, I probably wont be updating this guide at all, so please help your fellow poster and answer any questions. These links/images are hosted on my Dropbox, unless I can find an alternate way to post them that is where they will stay.

This is a lot of steps, and I do recommend that you print off all of these instructions, and images before you start, as there will be times that you will not have internet access.

My Equipment:

Airave 3G Airvana

Cable/DSL Modem

Cisco Linksys EA2700 Modem

Tutorial:

Step 1: Unplug all network Cables from All Devices

Step 2: Ensure Airave is plugged into power

Step 3: Use A Paperclip (or anything small enough) to hit the reset button on the back of the Airave for a minimum of 30 seconds.

Step 5: Shut down your computer

Step 4: Wait 5 Minutes

Step 5: Unplug Airave AC power cord (the black one)

Step 6: Plug in network cable to Lan 2 on back of Airave

Step 7: Plug the opposite side of the network cable from Step 6 into the back of your computer

Step 8: Plug in the AC Power Cord into the back of the Airave

Step 9: Boot your PC back up

Step 10: Wait 5 minutes.

Step 11: In your web browsers address bar type in the following and press enter: 192.168.17.1

Step 12: for username enter: admin for password enter: admin press okay

Step 13: Write down your Mac Address from the sticker on the bottom of your Airave Device and then add a colon between each set of two. For example if your sticker shows a Mac: 0003c32g69a1 write it down as-- 00:03:c3:2g:69:a1

Step 41: Plug in the Airave’s AC Power Cord

Step 42: Wait around 20minutes to 1 hour for everything to initialize.

Step 43: let out a sigh of relief

Step 44: Go eat some food, take a nap, and enjoy the fact that the Airave doesn’t act as your router anymore.

OPTIONAL BUT HIGHLY RECOMMENDED STEP: If you are a user that constantly maxes out network connections, I highly reccommend you set the following under the Router configuration:
