Introduction
The KPN Mobile Internet Router 850 (MIR850) is a technically very advanced Internet Router (Gateway) with which you can work on the Internet being fully mobile, everywhere within coverage of a Mobile cellular network.
In the MIR850 you have to put a (U)SIM card, and after that it will connect to the mobile network of the network provider from which you obtained the SIM-card. In The Netherlands that is probably the mobile network of KPN
Four wired users can connect at the same time via a network cable, and even more users can register to the
MIR850 device over WiFi. All can then work at the same time.
Depending on the place the MIR850 is positioned, and the availability and coverage of the mobile network in that area, theoretically the following Internet-speeds can be reached.
Note: Not (yet) every mobile network operator supports the maximum speeds. Contact your mobile network operator for more details
Important Note: The speeds in the table below are maximum speeds that can be reached by the MIR850 device in total. That means if more then 1 persons are connected and working at the same time (for example
Browsing the Internet or sending/receiving Email), that these users will share this speed, and each separate user will experience a lower speed!

If you are using the DHCP server, you need to do the configurations on the PC connecting with the device. For details, see “Configuring the Network Connection”.
• IP Address : The default IP address of the device is 19.168.1.1
.
• Subnet Mask : The combination of the subnet mask and IP address enables the flexible sub netting.
By default, the subnet mask is 55.55.55.0.
• DHCP Server : It is used to assign IP addresses dynamically. If the DHCP server is Enabled , it can
automatically assign IP addresses for PCs. It is recommended to select Enabled for the DHCP server.
• Start IP Address/End IP Address : It is used to define the IP address range that the host can use during the IP address assignment. For example, in the network segment 19.168.1.0/4, the default IP address of the device is 19.168.1.1. The host IP address can range from 19.168.1. to 19.168.1.54.
The minimum range is a single IP address.
• DHCP Lease Time : The DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address to each device connected to the
network. When the leased time expires, the DHCP server checks whether the device is connected to the network. If the device is disconnected from the network, the server assigns the IP address to another device.
Thus, the IP address is not wasted.
• The Start IP Address must be smaller than or equal to the End IP Address .
• If the DHCP Server is Enabled , the configurations of Start IP Address , End IP address ,
and DHCP Lease Time are valid; otherwise, you cannot configure them..
