How do I connect my game console (XBOX, PS3, etc) to the Internet?

You may need to open ports for the online games to work, often just enabling UPnP which opens
ports automatically does the trick (LAN->UPnP).
If not, you will have to find out which ports and protocols are required and then see the Port
Forwarding page for instructions on how to set it up manually.

I have enabled the SMS functionality, but I still can't send/receive SMS

First make sure that the SMS functionality is supported by both the USB modem on our list, and
that the SIM card is activated by your operator for SMS traffic. The simplest way to know is to try
the USB modem directly in the computer, and see if messages can be sent/received.

Following that, check the USB modem's connection manager in your computer to see which SMS
Service Center (also known as SMS-C) it is using.
Having identified the SMS-C, place that number into the SMS Service Center field in your router,
located under SMS -> Settings. If this does not help, try upgrading the firmware on your USB
modem.
An upgrade of the USB modem firmware might also solve the issue.

5.2.9

My connection speed isn't as good with the router as when I use the
modem in my computer

Check that you are using the EXACT same APN in the router as you are in the dialer software in
the computer.

Check that you are using the USB modem in the exact same angle and position when
conducting speeds tests with/without the router involved.
If you're using a 4G modem, make sure you separate the router and modem at least 55 cm with
USB cable to avoid interference between WLAN and 4G.

Verify with a network cable to a LAN port on the router in case you are using WLAN.
Disconnect all other computers as they might be downloading updates in the background.
Make sure the Dovado router aswell as the USB modem have the latest stable firmwares.
Go to System->Network Settings and deselect Let the router select safe settings. Select the
appropriate preset from the drop-down menu. Save settings and then restart the router.
