3. Connect the power adapter to the router’s DC-12V power port and then insert the correct plug into your home’s power outlet.

4. Switch ON the power at the back of the router. The router will start the booting process. The internet light will remain solid blue for about 10 seconds, and then all the lights will begin a blue-chasing pattern for about 2 minutes. Wait until the lights have stopped.

5. Once the blue-chasing pattern has stopped, the internet light may turn solid red for a few seconds, indicating the router is looking for an internet connection. Once an internet connection has been detected, the bottom light (Internet) will turn either solid green or solid blue depending on your connection type, followed by the WiFi light.

The VoIP light will remain OFF as the Voice feature is disabled by default.

Once the internet and WiFi lights are solid blue or green, your router is now ready to use.

6. You can now start connecting your WiFi devices to your router. The default WiFi name and password (SSID and Key) are located on the product label at the bottom of the router. The Key is case-sensitive.

7. To customize your WiFi credentials, using the same wired computer that you used to set up the router, open a web browser and enter "https://192.168.15.1" and complete the Setup Wizard. This will allow you to customize your WiFi name and the router’s administrative password.

If you entered HTTP instead of HTTPS, you may receive an error message and you will need to bypass this message by clicking continue or just re-entering “https://192.168.15.1”.

8. Enter “user” as the default Username and enter the default password located on the product label at the bottom of the router. Click Login.

The password is case-sensitive.
