Finding a Location for Your Router
Here are some things you should consider when deciding on a proper location for your router:
Place your router as close as possible to the center of your wireless network devices. Your connection will be stronger the closer your
devices are to your router. Typical indoor operating range is up to 200 feet.
Avoid placing your router near devices that may emit "noise", including microwave ovens, refrigerators, and metal cabinets. If your
signal seems weak, make sure that objects are not blocking the signal’s path between your device and your router.
For proper ventilation, you must allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) on all sides of your router.
Avoid installing your router in places with high humidity, dust, or smoke so you do not shorten the service life of the electronic
components.
Read this user manual carefully before setting up your router.
Wall-Mounting Placement
Your router has two wall-mount slots on the bottom panel.

Note:
VIZIO is not responsible for damages incurred by insecure wall-mounting hardware.
1. Choose a wall that is within reach of an electrical outlet and is smooth and sturdy.
2. Drill two holes 6 inches (152 mm) apart into the wall.
3. Insert a screw into each hole leaving 0.12 inches (3 mm) of the screw head exposed.
4. Line up the wall-mount slots on the bottom of your router with the screws and slide the router down until the screws fit snugly into the
wall-mount slots.

Renewal period is 3600 seconds.
Chapter 6 Wireless Security Information
Wireless networking, like any radio signal that travels through the air, can be intercepted by other devices. Here's how you can protect the
information that travels over your wireless network:
1. Change the default wireless network name (SSID)
The name of your wireless network is called a Service Set Identifier (SSID) and was set by the factory. Your VIZIO router has three
SSIDs (see Features for information about your SSIDs). Consider changing the network name to something unique to make sure it is not
the same as other wireless networks that your router may detect in the area. Do not use personal information because others with will
be able to see that when searching for a wireless network.
2. Set a username and password
From the factory no username or password is set to open the Router Settings App. To keep your router safe from hackers, set a
username and password. See Router Auto Login for information on setting a username and password.
3. Hide your Network Name (SSID)
Hide your network name (SSID) so people who are not on your network cannot see it in their list of available networks. To hide your
SSID:
a. Select the Wireless menu option.
b. Click Advanced.
c. Select the Off button next to SSID Broadcast.
d. Click Save Changes.
General Network Security Guidelines
Password-protect all computers on the network and individually password protect sensitive files.
Change passwords on a regular basis.
Install anti-virus software and personal firewall software.
Disable file sharing (peer-to-peer). Some applications may open file sharing without your consent and/or knowledge.
Additional Security Tips
Keep your router away from exterior walls and windows.
Use strong passphrases that are at least eight characters in length. Combine letters and numbers to avoid using standard words that can
be found in the dictionary.

Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
1. Turn off and unplug the modem, turn off your router, and shut down the computer.
2. Plug in and turn on the modem, wait two minutes.
3. Turn on your router and wait one minute.
4. Turn on the computer.
Make sure the Ethernet cables are securely plugged in.
The INTERNET light on your router will be lit if the Ethernet cable to your router from the modem is plugged in and the modem and
router are turned on.
For each computer that is connected to your router and turned on, the corresponding LED under the port in the back will be lit (1, 2, 3,
or 4).
Make sure the computer network settings are correct.
Configure your computer to obtain IP and DNS addresses automatically via DHCP whenever possible.
Some cable modem ISPs require you to use the MAC address of the computer registered on the account. If so select, use Copy My PC's
MAC in your router's MAC Address Clone section of the Advanced Internet Menu. You must be using the computer that is registered with
the ISP. Click Save Changes to save your settings. Restart the network in the correct sequence.
Issue Solution
My computer cannot
connect to the Internet
Make sure that your router is powered on. The LED under the power port in the back should
be white and not flashing.
If the Power LED is flashing, power off your network (modem, router, and computers). Power
on each device in the following order:
1. Cable or DSL modem
2. Router
3. Computer
Check the cable connections. The computer should be connected to one of the ports
numbered 1-4 on your router, and the modem must be connected to the Internet port on
your router. See Setup Steps for detailed instructions on connecting the cables.
There may be third-party firewall software on the computer. Trying turning the firewall off to
see if that is blocking Internet access. Make sure you properly configure the software to allow
access to the Internet. Refer to the instructions that came with your firewall software.
