TheModeswitchatthebackpanelofQBox610devicecanbesettooneofthefollowingthree
modes:
AutoMode:If3‐wayswitchissettoAuto,theQBox610willsetitsmodeautomatically.Ifthe
deviceisconnectedtoarouterorgatewayitwillruninAPModeotherwiseitwillruninSTA
Mode.(QBx610issettoAutoModefromthefactory).
APMode:Ifthe3‐wayswitchissettoAP,thedeviceactsasanaccesspoint.ThedeviceinAP
Modeshouldbeconnectedtoarouterorgateway.
STAMode:Ifthe3‐wayswitchissettoSTAMode,thedeviceactsasaclientanditcanbe
connectedtootherwireddevicessuchasSTBandmediaplayer.TheQBox610inSTAMode
connectswirelesslytotheQBox610whichissettoAPMode.
ConfiguretheQBox610viaWebGUI
Bydefault,DHCPclientisenabledinQBox610anditwillcontinuetorequesttheDHCPserverto
gettheIPaddress.
ToconfiguretheQBox610viaWebGUI:
1. ConnecttheQBox610toaPCviaEthernetportonthebackofthedevice
2. OpenanywebbrowserandtypetheIPaddressesaccordingbelow:
http://192.168.1.100fortheboxinAPmodeifrouterorgatewayisnotconnected
http://192.168.1.200fortheboxinSTAmodeifrouterorgatewayisnotconnected
3. IfrouterorgatewayisconnectedtoQBOX610,pleasefindouttheIPaddressesofthe
QBOX610devicesfromtheattachedtablesoftherouterorgateway.Pleaselookforthe

OncetheQBox610isconnectedtoGateway,itfetchestheIPaddressfromtheGatewayand
theModeLEDshouldbeONifthedeviceissettoAPorAuto.IftheModeLEDisOFF,checkthe
three‐wayswitchtomakesurethatitisonAPorAuto.
Ifthethree‐switchisonAPorAutobuttheModeLEDisOFF,pleasecheckifgatewayDHCP

OnSTAdevice:
TochecktheconnectionbetweenGatewayandSTAdevice,connectaPCtotheSTAdevice
throughEthernetconnectionandchecktheLANLEDandWLANLED
LANLED
