Step 2: Connecting cables

Important: To prevent interference caused by radio signals, place the device at least 1 metre away from telephones and other electrical devices.

Do not use another power adapter unless provided by the manufacturer.

Once connected to a power outlet, the device automatically powers on.

Operation

Setting up a Wi-Fi connection

Important: Make sure your device (computer, tablet or smartphone) also supports Wi-Fi.

Step 1: Enable Wi-Fi on the device

When the Wi-Fi indicator light is steady, the Wi-Fi function of the device is turned on.

Step 2: Recording the SSID and Wi-Fi key

The default SSID and Wi-Fi key are printed on the device's bottom label.

Important: To prevent unauthorised parties from accessing your Wi-Fi network, it is recommended that you change the SSID and Wi-Fi key from time to time.

Step 3: Setting up a Wi-Fi connection on your client

Method 1: Setting up a Wi-Fi connection manually

From your Wi-Fi enabled client, scan for wireless networks in your area.
Connect to the network name that matches the SSID found on the device label.
When prompted for password, enter the Wi-Fi Key found on the device label (Wi-Fi key is case sensitive). Your client will notify you when it is connected.

Method 2: Setting up a Wi-Fi connection through WPS

If the client supports WPS, you can set up a WPS connection as follows:

Ensure that Wi-Fi is enabled on the client.
Press the WPS button on the modem for 2 seconds.
Activate the WPS connection on the client in 2 minutes.

Configuring your device

After a client is connected to the device through Wi-Fi or LAN port, launch a browser on the client and visit http://192.168.1.1.
Enter the username and password to log in to the web management page. The default username and password are printed on the device's bottom label.
Follow the quick setup wizard to check or set network connection parameters step by step.

To protect your account, change the password after your first login.

If you modify the SSID and Wi-Fi key, you must set up the Wi-Fi connection on the client again as it will likely automatically disconnect due to the saved login details not matching the new details on the unit.

Once you are done, try opening a web page on the client to verify whether you have Internet access.

Cleaning & Care

During storage, transportation and operation of the device, keep it dry and protect it from collisions.
Keep the device and accessories dry. Do not attempt to dry it with an external heat source, such as a microwave oven or hairdryer.
Do not expose your device or accessories to extreme heat or cold. These environments may interfere with proper function and may lead to fire or explosion.
Avoid collisions, which may lead to device malfunctions, overheating, fire or explosion.
If the device is not going to be used for an extended period, power it off and remove all cables connected to it.
If anything unusual occurs (for example, if the device emits smoke or any unusual sound or smell), immediately stop using it, power it off, remove all cables connected to it and contact Kogan.com Support.
Do not trample, pull or excessively bend any cable. Doing so may damage the cable, causing the device to malfunction.
Before you clean or maintain the device, stop using it, stop all applications and disconnect all cables connected to it.
Do not use any chemical detergents, powders or other chemical agents (such as alcohol and benzene) to clean the device or accessories. These substances may cause damage to parts or present a fire hazard. Use a clean, soft and dry cloth to clean the device and accessories.
Do not place magnetic stripe cards, such as credit cards and phone cards, near the device for extended periods of time. Otherwise, the magnetic stripe cards may be damaged.
Do not dismantle or re-manufacture the device and its accessories. This voids the warranty and releases the manufacturer from liability for damage.
