STEP

This is a quick guide for experienced installers only. Refer to https://qolsys.com

STEP

CONNECT TO THE MODEM OR EXISTING NETWORK

Plug the power supply into the wall

outlet. Router takes about 6

minutes to power up and identify as

a controller, the power LED will stop

flashing when ready.

Note: If a software update is needed

the router will automatically

download and install it. This may take

an additional 2 minutes.

While waiting for Agents to pair, unbox

any agents and power them up.

STEP

ADD ADDITIONAL AGENTS (IF NEEDED)

Add one or more Agents if needed. Agents expand the area

covered by the network. Once added, Agents use the same

SSID and PW as the controller.

1. Power up the Agent (see step 3). Ready when Controller

and Agent LEDs are solid GREEN.

2. Press the WPS button on the Controller

3. Press the WPS button on the Agent

Note: LET PROCESS FINISH, COULD TAKE UP TO 7 MINUTES to

finish pairing, updating, and configuring each Agent. You can begin

pairing subsequent Agents when the Controller WAN LED goes solid

GREEN. Paired Agents default to WiFi backhaul but support

ethernet backhaul with an ethernet connected LAN-to-LAN.

2. Connect the provided ethernet

cable into the “WAN” port.

3. Plug the barrel jack end of the

power supply into the “DC-IN”

port. Do not plug in the power

supply into outlet until step 3.

1. Connect one end of the provided ethernet

cable into the “ETHERNET” port on the

modem*.

*Note: for parallel installs plug the

ethernet cable into an available port

on the customer’s existing router (see

additional considerations)

CONNECTING DEVICES TO YOUR NETWORK

STEP

MOBILE MANAGMENT

STEP

This is a quick guide for experienced installers only. Refer to https://qolsys.com

By default, IQ WiFi 6 broadcasts 3 dis8nct network names or SSID’s. (1) The Main network, (2) a Guest

network and (3) a Security network. The purpose of the Security network is to isolate security devices

like Panels, Secondary Keypads and Cameras from the Main and Guest network. This helps reduce the

chance that these devices will disconnect, causing a truck roll in the future, due to a homeowner

pausing the internet, changing the network name, password or encryp8on type.

Start by connec8ng all Wi-Fi devices installed in the home or business to the Main or Guest network

ﬁrst. Once connected, IQ Panels and Secondary Keypads will automa8cally move themselves to the

Security network by default. Alarm.com Cameras and Doorbells can be manually moved to the

Security network from Mobile Tech, the Partner Portal or the End User website. Addi8onally, both

Mobile Tech and the Partner Portal allow you to “see” the password for the Security network if

needed.

IQ WiFi 6 can be managed by the homeowner either directly from the Alarm.com app or from a dedicated IQ

WiFi app. In cases where Alarm.com is used, it is recommended to manage devices directly from

Alarm.com. As long as the Controller is added to the ADC account (Step 7 above) no further ac8on is

required and IQ WiFi 6 will automa8cally show up for homeowner to control and manage the Main and

Guest networks from their ADC app.

In cases where Alarm.com is not used, the homeowner can download the dedicated IQ WiFi app. To do this,

go to iTunes/App Store or the Google Play store and search for IQ WIFI.
