How do I setup my router?

We’ve made it as easy as possible. Just plug in your router to a power outlet, switch it on, and you can start browsing the internet.

For the best possible connection, your router should be in a central location within your home. Such as next to a street-facing window or balcony.

    1. Press the reset button for about 15 seconds

    3. This process will reset your Wi-Fi Name and Password (and any other setting) to the original ones found on the router sticker.
