Quick Gateway Configuration
Logging in to your gateway
To change the settings on your gateway, you must log in the gateway's interface. Make sure that you have completed
the steps in Installation before you begin.
1. Open your internet browser application and type 192.168.0.1 into the address line. The login dialog appears.
2. Enter the User Name and Password and click Log In. The default username is admin. The default password is
unique for each device (last 4 characters of the MAC address + last 4 characters of the serial number) and is loc-
ated on a printed label on the bottom of the unit. You cannot change this password. The gateway interface
appears.

WiFi Setup
Two methods, WPS and Manual, are available for WiFi setup. Perform the steps on this page for both methods,
and then follow the instructions for the method you prefer. The default settings work for most situations.
1. Click the Wireless tab. The Radio page appears.
2. If desired, go to the Primary Network page and enter a name for this network in the Network Name (SSID)
field.
3. 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. Click the Wireless tab and then click Primary Network in the left navigation bar.
2. In the Automatic Security Configuration section, select WPS in the first field to activate the WPS button on the
gateway.
3. Click Apply.
4. On the back of the gateway, press the button labeled WiFi.
5. Within 2 minutes, activate WPS on the 3rd party device to which you wish to connect. It may have a push button
on its exterior that you can press or 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 router wirelessly using WPS. If you encounter problems with the WPS
setup such as Connection Failure, refer to your client device documentation for further instructions.

Manual Method
Set up your gateway’s other parameters first, then follow these steps.
1. Click the Wireless tab and then click Primary Network in the left navigation bar.
2. If your gateway supports multiple wireless networks, in the Network Name (SSID) field, select the SSID of the
network you wish to configure. You will need this ID in step 7.
3. Select the desired Network Authentication. Make sure that the host devices you intend to use support the
selected authentication type.
4. Choose a WPA passphrase and type it in the WPA Pre-Shared Key field. You will need this passphrase in step 7.
5. Complete the other fields as needed to configure security correctly for your system.
6. Click Apply.
7. Follow the WiFi connection instructions provided with your client device to connect to the gateway. Use the
SSID name you selected in Step 2. Then, on the network setup screen of your Wi-Fi client device, enter the
passphrase that you entered in Step 4.
