Q-Stick Installation Guide

Thank you for buying a NorthQ product. Our devices gives you and
your family the opportunity to experience a new way of living.
This user manual helps you to get Q-Stick installed.
• Your Wi-Fi router must support the 802.11N standard in
order to install Q-Stick. By far most routers do so. You can
find this information in the manual that comes with your
router (or by searching online).
• Your router must not use WEP security. We recommend
WPA2-PSK for security purposes. You can find this
information in the manual that comes with your router (or by
searching online).
• The installation can be performed using PC, Tablet or Smart
Phone.
Welcome

of the home in order to obtain the best wireless coverage.
The wireless range is 10-20 meter in houses, but can vary
depending on the building construction.
