Quick Start Guide
SR616ac
This Quick Start Guide shows you how to set up and start using your new gateway.

Installation
1. Connect one end of the included phone cable to the DSL port on the gateway and connect the other end to the
wall jack.
2. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to a LAN port of the gateway and connect the other end to your PC.
3. Plug the power adapter into the wall outlet and connect the other end of it to the Power port of the gateway.
4. Turn on the unit by pressing the On/Off button on the left side of the gateway.
Your gateway is now automatically being set up to connect to the Internet. This process may take a few minutes to com-
plete before you can begin using your Internet applications (browser, email, etc.).
Notes:
lIf you use 3G WAN service, connect the 3G USB data card to the USB port of the gateway. If you use the Ethernet
uplink, connect to the WAN port with an Ethernet cable.
lYou cannot use the xDSL uplink, 3G WAN service, and Ethernet uplink at the same time.
If you are unable to connect to the Internet, confirm that all connections are in place and the gateway is turned on.

Configuring the WAN manually
If the automatic connect process is unsuccessful, refer to the Advanced Setup >Layer 2 Interface and WAN Service
sections of the SmartRG SR616ac Gateway User Manual to manually establish a connection.

WiFi Setup
Two methods, WPS and Manual, are available for WiFi setup. Perform the steps on this page first, and then follow
the instructions for the applicable method. The default settings work for most situations.
1. In the left menu, click Wireless and then click 2.4 GHz Band or 5 GHz Band. The fields are the same for both
options. The wireless radio is enabled by default.
2. Continue with the steps for the method you prefer.

WPS Method
If the device you wish to connect to the Internet via your gateway supports the WPS secure Wi-Fi connection method,
follow these steps.
1. In the left navigation bar, click Wireless, then click the band that you want to configure, and then click Secur-
ity.
2. In the Enable WPS field, make sure that Enabled is selected, and then click Apply/Save to save your change.
3. On the left side of the gateway’s exterior:
a. Activate the desired band by pressing 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz briefly on the rocker switch.
b. Activate WPS by pressing the desired band button and holding it down for 7 seconds.
4. Within 2 minutes, activate WPS on the 3rd party device to which you wish to connect. The device may have a
push button on its exterior that you can press, or a clickable button on a software interface. To learn how to use
the WPS feature on your client device, refer to its documentation.
Your device should now be connected to your gateway wirelessly using WPS. If you encounter problems with the WPS
setup such as connection failure, refer to your client device for further instructions.

Manual Method
Set up your gateway’s parameters first, then follow these steps.
1. In the left menu, click Wireless and then the band that you want to configure.
2. Click Security and scroll down to the Manual Setup AP section.
3. If your gateway supports multiple wireless networks, select the SSID of the network you wish to configure. You
will need this ID for step 8.
4. Select the desired Network Authentication. Make sure that the host devices you intend to use support the
selected authentication type.
5. Choose a WPA Passphrase and type it in to this field. You will need this passphrase for step 8.
6. Select any desired encryption preferences in the lower three fields.
7. Click Apply / Save.
8. Follow the WiFi connection instructions provided with your client device to connect to the router. Use the SSID
name you selected in Step 3 and enter the same passphrase that you entered in step 5 to set up the connection
on your client device.
