Troubleshooting Tips:
If the Configuration Manager screen does not appear, you may need to change
your computer’s network settings.

username and password – these are both set to admin by default.
Read the Troubleshooting section of the foldout Quick Start Guide for more
information.

written on the pink label on the base of
your router.

Plug the power supply into the back of your router (socket marked
Power), then plug the other end of the power supply into the nearest
mains socket.
Plug one end of the grey broadband cable into the DSL socket on the back
of the router and plug the other end into the microfilter (attached to your
phone line in step 1). The microfilter socket is also marked DSL.
Switch on the router by pressing the Power button on the back of the router
to switch it on. The Power light on the front will turn green.
Wait until the DSL light stops flashing and goes green. This may take a
minute or more. Once the light is green, your Voyager router has been
successfully connected and is ready to be set up.
You can now plug computers into the router using either the USB (blue) or
Ethernet (yellow) cables. We recommend using the Ethernet (grey) cable
unless your computer does not have a network socket. For information about
using the USB connection see Step 5 of the foldout Quick Start Guide.
