4. Setup Guide

4.1. Initial Hardware Connection

1. Position the Router: Place the router in a central location in your home, away from obstructions and sources of interference (e.g., microwaves, cordless phones). Ensure the antennas are oriented vertically for optimal signal.
2. Connect to Modem: Connect one end of the provided Ethernet cable to the WAN port (usually blue or labeled "WAN") on your Wiflyer router. Connect the other end to the Ethernet port on your modem.
3. Power On: Connect the power adapter to the router's power input and then plug it into a power outlet. Wait for the router's indicator lights to stabilize (usually solid green or blue for power and internet).
4. Connect Devices (Optional): For wired connections, connect your computer or other devices to any of the LAN ports (usually yellow or labeled "LAN1", "LAN2", "LAN3") on the router using Ethernet cables.

4.2. Network Configuration

You can configure your router via a web browser on a connected device.

1. Connect to Router's Wi-Fi: On your computer or smartphone, connect to the router's default Wi-Fi network. The default SSID (network name) and password are typically printed on a label on the bottom of the router.
2. Access Web Interface: Open a web browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Edge) and enter the default IP address of the router in the address bar. This is usually 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1. Refer to the label on your router for the exact address.
3. Login: Enter the default username and password. These are also typically found on the router's label (common defaults are "admin" for both).
4. Follow Setup Wizard: Most routers have a quick setup wizard that will guide you through configuring your internet connection type (e.g., DHCP, PPPoE), setting up your new Wi-Fi network name (SSID), and creating a strong Wi-Fi password.
5. Change Admin Password: For security, it is highly recommended to change the default administrator password for the router's web interface.

4.3. Mesh Network Setup (Optional)

To extend your Wi-Fi coverage, you can add another Wiflyer mesh-compatible router.

1. Power On Second Router: Place the second Wiflyer router in an area needing extended coverage and power it on.
2. Initiate Mesh Pairing: Press the WPS/Mesh button on both the main router and the second router. The indicator lights should flash, indicating they are searching for each other.
3. Confirm Connection: Once connected, the indicator lights on both routers will stabilize, signifying a successful mesh connection. Your devices will seamlessly switch between the routers for the best signal.
