4. Setup Guide

Follow these steps to set up your Fenvi AX3000 Wireless Router:

1. Unpack the Router: Carefully remove the router and all accessories from the packaging.
2. Position the Router: Place the router in a central location in your home, away from obstructions and potential sources of interference (e.g., microwaves, cordless phones). Ensure the six high-gain antennas are oriented vertically for optimal signal coverage.
3. Connect the Antennas: Ensure all six external high-gain antennas are securely attached to their respective ports on the router.
4. Connect to the Internet:
   • Connect one end of the provided Ethernet cable to the WAN port (usually distinctively colored, e.g., blue, or labeled "WAN") on the router.
   • Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to your modem's Ethernet port.
5. Power On the Router:
   • Connect the power adapter to the router's power input port.
   • Plug the power adapter into a wall outlet.
   • Press the Power button (if available) to turn on the router.
6. Wait for Initialization: Allow a few minutes for the router to boot up and initialize. The indicator lights on the router should stabilize, indicating a successful connection.
7. Connect to the Router's Wi-Fi Network:
   • On your computer or mobile device, search for available Wi-Fi networks.
   • Select the default Wi-Fi network name (SSID) printed on the label at the bottom of the router.
   • Enter the default Wi-Fi password (also found on the router's label) to connect.
8. Access the Router's Web Interface:
   • Open a web browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Edge).
   • Type the default IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1) into the address bar and press Enter. This IP address is usually printed on the router's label.
   • Enter the default username and password (often admin for both, or specified on the label).
9. Initial Configuration:
   • Follow the on-screen setup wizard to configure your internet connection type (e.g., PPPoE, Dynamic IP, Static IP).
   • Change the default Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands to something unique and secure.
   • Change the router's login password for security.

5. Operating Modes

The Fenvi AX3000 router supports multiple operating modes to suit various networking needs:

• Router Mode: This is the default mode, where the device acts as the primary internet gateway, sharing the internet connection with all connected devices.
• Access Point (AP) Mode: In AP mode, the device connects to an existing wired network and broadcasts a wireless signal, extending the reach of the current network without acting as a router.
• Mesh Router Mode: The Fenvi AX3000 can function as part of a mesh Wi-Fi system. You can add up to 6 mesh node routers to create a seamless whole-house Wi-Fi coverage, eliminating dead zones and latency issues. This mode is ideal for larger homes or offices requiring extensive and consistent Wi-Fi coverage.

You can switch between these modes via the router's web management interface, typically found under "Operation Mode" or "Wireless Settings."

6. Network Security

The Fenvi AX3000 router incorporates robust security features to protect your home network:

• WPA3 Security: The latest Wi-Fi Protected Access 3 (WPA3) protocol provides enhanced encryption and protection against brute-force attacks, ensuring a more secure wireless connection. The router also supports WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK for compatibility with older devices.
• SPI Firewall: A Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall inspects incoming and outgoing data packets to prevent unauthorized access and protect against various network attacks.
• Access Control: Manage which devices can connect to your network and when.
• Website Blocker: Restrict access to specific websites or categories of content.
• DDoS Attack Prevention: Built-in mechanisms to detect and mitigate Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, maintaining network availability.
• Smart Parental Control: Tools to manage and monitor internet usage for children, including time limits and content filtering.

7. Troubleshooting

Q: I cannot access the internet.

A:

• Check all cable connections: Ensure the Ethernet cable from your modem is securely plugged into the router's WAN port, and the modem is powered on and working correctly.
• Restart devices: Power off your modem and router, wait 30 seconds, then power on the modem first. Once the modem is fully online, power on the router.
• Verify WAN settings: Access the router's web interface and ensure your internet connection type (e.g., PPPoE, Dynamic IP) is correctly configured.

Q: I forgot my Wi-Fi password or router login password.

A:

• Wi-Fi Password: If you haven't changed it, check the label on the bottom of the router for the default SSID and password. If you changed it and forgot, you can access the router's web interface (if you remember the login password) to view or change it.
• Router Login Password: If you forgot the login password, you will need to perform a factory reset on the router. Locate the reset button (usually a small pinhole) on the router, press and hold it for 10-15 seconds until the lights flash, then release. The router will revert to factory default settings, including the default login credentials (e.g., admin/admin). You will then need to reconfigure your internet and Wi-Fi settings.

Q: My Wi-Fi signal is weak or has dead zones.

A:

• Router Placement: Ensure the router is centrally located and free from obstructions. Avoid placing it near large metal objects, concrete walls, or other electronic devices that can cause interference.
• Antenna Orientation: Adjust the six high-gain antennas for optimal signal direction.
• Interference: Try changing the Wi-Fi channel in the router's settings to avoid interference from neighboring networks.
• Mesh System: Consider utilizing the router's mesh mode by adding additional Fenvi mesh nodes to extend coverage throughout your home.

8. User Tips

• Compatibility with Other Routers: The Fenvi AX3000 can function as a repeater or in AP mode with other routers, allowing you to extend your existing network. Ensure proper configuration through the web interface for seamless integration.
• Regular Firmware Updates: Check the manufacturer's website periodically for firmware updates. Updating the firmware can improve performance, add new features, and enhance security.
• Secure Your Network: Always change the default Wi-Fi name (SSID) and password, as well as the router's login password, immediately after setup. Use strong, unique passwords.

9. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Gently wipe the router with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
• Ventilation: Ensure the router's ventilation openings are not blocked to prevent overheating.
• Firmware Updates: Regularly check for and install firmware updates from the official Fenvi website to ensure optimal performance and security.
• Restart Periodically: Restarting your router every few weeks can help clear its memory and improve overall network stability.
