1.2. Connect
You can connect to the router via Ethernet cable or Wi-Fi.
Note: This step only connects your devices to the local area network (LAN) of the
router. You cannot access the Internet currently. In order to connect to the Internet,
please finish the setup procedures below and then follow Internet to set up an
Internet connection.
(1) Connect via LAN
Connect your device to the LAN port of the router via Ethernet cable.

Page 3 | 77
Note: GL-AR300M-Lite has only 1 Ethernet port which works as WAN by default.
You can only connect to it via Wi-Fi when you first set up the router. Once you have
connected to it, you can change the WAN port to LAN port in Internet so that you
can connect to it via Ethernet cable.
(2) Connect via Wi-Fi
Search for the SSID of the router in your device and input the default password:
goodlife.
Note: The SSID was printed on the bottom label of the router with the following
formats:

1.3. Access the Web Admin Panel
Open a web browser (we recommend Chrome, firefox) and visit
http://192.168.8.1. You will be directed to the initial setup of the web Admin
Panel.
(1) Language Setting
You need to choose the display language of the Admin Panel. Currently, our
routers support English, 简体中文, 繁體中文, Deutsch, Français, Español and 日本
語
Note: If your browser always redirects to Luci (http://192.168.8.1/cgi-bin/luci), you
can visit: http://192.168.8.1/index.html instead of http://192.168.8.1.
(2) Admin Password Setting
There is no default password for the Admin Panel. You have to set your own
password, which must be at least 5 characters long. Then, click Submit to
proceed.

Page 5 | 77
Note: This password is for this web Admin Panel and the embedded Linux system.
It will not change your Wi-Fi password.
(3) Admin Panel
After the initial setup, you will enter the web Admin Panel of the router. It allows
you to check the status and manage the settings of the router.
