Wireless connection to the FIBER BOX X6 or another
companion mode modem (F4000 Gigabit, F3000 Fiber Box)
(recommended : (fig. 3)
Wired connection to the FIBER BOX X6 (fig. 3)
• Wait until the power LED turns white and the Connection
LED starts blinking red (fig. 6) .
• Press the WPS button on the FIBER BOX X6
(+ button) for
2 sec, then press the WPS button of the Wi-Fi Box for 2
sec (fig. 3). The Wi-Fi LED (fig. 6) will start blinking white and
afterwards it will turn steady.The Connection LED will start
blinking green indicating that Wi-Fi Box is being configured.
When the blinking stops, the configuration has finished:
• If the Connection LED is steady green or orange, your Wi-Fi
Box is properly connected to Fiber Box X6
• If the Connection LED is steady red or blinking red, your
Wi-Fi Box is poorly connected or not connected at all to the
FIBER BOX X6. In this case move it closer to FIBER BOX
X6 and repeat the process. Connection LED turning steady
green or orange indicates the end of the connection process,
however, we recommend you try to get the Connection LED
to turn green since this ensures optimal performance.
• Wait until the Power LED turns white
(fig. 6).
• Connect the Ethernet cable to your FIBER BOX X6, then to
your Wi-Fi Box.

Troubleshooting
3
Check the LEDs
Check the Wi-Fi function
Reset the Wi-Fi Box to default settings
Check the LEDs of the Wi-Fi Box (see fig. 6) .
If the Wi-Fi Box is operating correctly:
• the power LED is white;
• the connection LED is green or orange;
• the Wi-Fi LED is white.
If this is not the case, check whether the power cable is firmly
attached and whether the Wi-Fi Box is turned on.
Check whether you receive Wi-Fi signal on your device.
The name of the Wi-Fi network (SSID) corresponds to that of
the FIBER BOX X6 or that of the primary Wi-Fi Box,
depending on your configuration
(fig. 3 or 4) .
Check the connection LED. When it is turned off or blinking
red, the connection to your modem has been lost and needs
to be reestablished.
See fig. 1 for configuration instructions.
In case you want to reset your Wi-Fi Box to the factory
settings, press the Reset button on the back of the box with
a thin, pointed object (e.g. a pin) for 5 sec. ( fig.5)
We recommend you reset your Wi-Fi Box every time you
reset your FIBER BOX X6 to its factory settings.
You will need to reconnect your Wi-Fi Box to the FIBER BOX
X6 after every reset.
