Hello - I am trying to plug my K-3565-Z into a CDW530AM combo gateway. I use Vodafone/Azerfon service. How do I configure my router to access the internet wirelessly?
Thank you!

Googling "cdw530am compatibility list" gives a pdf that includes the K3565-z so that's the first important consideration.
Generally do not touch the CD that comes with any router - it normally causes problems.
Next you say "Vodafone/Azerfon" which suggests it may not be a Vodafone Uk service. Whatever the service you need to know the APN. The UK Vodafone services APNs are
UK Contract - INTERNET
UK PAYG 3GB/30 days - PPBUNDLE.INTERNET
UK Non-expiring PAYG - PP.INTERNET
username = web, password = web
If you have another service use your normal connection software network settings to find out what your APN etc is.
If your dongle/SIM is locked by a user PIN (e.g. 1234) , I recommend unlocking it first using yoiur normal connection software, as not all routers will handle PIN locks.
With that information Type in the IP Address for the router, in this case
http://192.168.123.254 then find the WAN 3G setting and use Manual settings (not auto detect) and enter the above information. Auto detect and dropdown menus invariably put in the wrong APN data.
This area of mobile broadband is so sparsely used you will not find a whole lot of information, and Vodafone do not currently support it on here.
However two of my experiences with 3G routers
