I. Connect your router

Hello, welcome to the Rock Space.

Note:

If this is the rst time you are using a router or you are not very procient in router settings,

please skip the Step 1 and start from Step 2.

If you are very procient in router settings and know what is the PPPoE user name and password,

you can refer to step 1 to copy them from your original router to AX1800 WiFi router. It will save

you some time.

Step 1: Import your PPPoE user name and password from your original router.

1. Power on your original and new routers.

2. Connect the WAN port of the original router to a LAN port of the new router using an Ethernet

cable.

3. When the WAN and LAN LED indicators of the new router turn solid on for 3 seconds after

blinking fast, the PPPoE user name and password are imported to your new router successfully.

4. Remove the original router.

Note: If the PPPoE user name and password are imported to your new router successfully, this

router will auto-ll the ISP User Name and ISP Password when you select PPPoE connection type.

1. Power on the new router.

2. Connect the WAN port of the new router to the LAN port of your modem or the Ethernet jack

using an Ethernet cable. The WAN LED indicator lights on.

network using the SSID（WiFi name）labeled on the bottom of the router. There is no WiFi

password by default.

Note: Both the user name and password is “admin”. The password you entered in this step is

NOT the password for your extended network, it is the password for the extender's manage-

ment interface. If you cannot log in to the web UI of the router, refer to Q1 in FAQ.

Step 2: Set up the time zone.

Please select your region and time zone. Then click “Next”.

III. Set up the new router for internet access
