CONNECTING THE ROUTER
Using the Blue Ethernet cable, connect the LAN port of the Fibre Device (ONT) to the blue port
labelled “WAN” on the back of the router
TIP: How Fibre enters your home can differ depending on the infrastructure provider and installation process. Some infrastructure providers use a wall
unit plus ONT device, others just have an ONT device and in some security complexes and apartments the cable itself enters the home. However,
when the Fibre connection enters your home, it will need to be plugged into a Fibre router to allow you to access the Internet.

CONNECTING THE
POWER SUPPLY
Plug the power supply unit into the wall socket and the small round plug from the power
supply unit into the power socket on the side of the router. Switch the power on at the wall
socket. The router has no power button and will start up as soon as you plug it in.

CONNECTING YOUR DEVICE TO THE
ROUTER VIA ETHERNET CABLE
(Device could be a Laptop, PC, tablet etc.)
You will need a second Ethernet cable for this step. If you do not have a spare Ethernet cable, skip
to step 5 to connect via WiFi.
Plug one other end of the Ethernet cable into the yellow LAN port labelled “LAN1, LAN2, LAN3,
or LAN4 at the back of the router . Plug the other end of of the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet
port of your PC or Laptop .

AUTOMATICALLY CONNECTING YOUR
DEVICE TO THE ROUTER VIA WiFi
TIP: For this step you will need the default SSID (WiFi Network Name) and WiFi key (WiFi Password) which are displayed on the
bottom of your router.
Before you start ensure that the WLAN LED on top of your router is lit up. If the LED is not lit you will need
to use an Ethernet cable to setup the WiFi Manually (as described in Step 6), or perform a factory reset to
restore default settings (advanced users).
On your WiFi-enabled device, browse for and select the router’s SSID (WiFi Network Name). Use the WiFi
key at the bottom of your router when prompted to connect your device to the WiFi network
OR
If your WiFi-enabled device that you are setting up, is equipped with a WPS button, press the WPS button
on the side of the router until the WPS LED blinks. Press the WPS button on the WiFi enabled client device
and allow 2 minutes for a secure WiFi connection to be established.
