- Use an Ethernet cable to connect the modem to the router’s Internet (WAN) port.
- Switch on your modem and wait for the lights to stabilize.
- Turn on the router and ensure that the power LED on the router is lit.
- Using a computer or smartphone, connect to the router’s Wi-Fi network.
- Default network name (SSID) and password can be found on a label on the back or bottom of the router.
