Make sure the modem is connected and activated before installing this router.
Unplug the power cable from the modem, and then plug it back in.
After you plug in the modem, wait for it to connect to the network (about 2 to 5
minutes) before proceeding to the next step.
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the modem, and the other end to the
yellow internet port on the WiFi router.
Plug the power cord into the WiFi router, then plug the other end into an
electrical outlet.
Wait for the WiFi light on the front panel of the WiFi router to turn on.
On your device, make sure your WiFi is turned on, then open the
WiFi connections.
Select the unique network name (SSID) as printed on the WiFi router and on the
enclosed stickers. If your device is 5 GHz capable, connecting to the 5G network
may provide a better experience.
Enter the WiFi password as printed on the WiFi router. This password is also
printed on the stickers included with the router.
Follow steps A-C to connect other devices.
Tips
To get the best WiFi coverage, place the WiFi router in a central location in
your home. Also, avoid placing the device in the basement, a desk drawer
or other enclosed area, as this can affect your signal strength.
Place the WiFi router away from household electronics like baby monitors,
microwaves and wireless headsets. These can sometimes interfere with
your signal.
