Q: How do I connect my modem/router?

A: 1. Plug in the power cable for the wireless router into the power outlet and router. Locate the green cable and plug it into the RJ45 Jack port in the wall and then into the POE port on the POE. Then, plug the blue cable into the POE LAN port and then into your router’s blue WAN port. (See graphic for setup).

2. Wait at least 30 to 60 seconds, and make sure the lights on your router are working correctly.

Q: How do I connect to the WiFi?

A: The process for connecting to a WiFi network will vary slightly depending on what type of computer or device you’re using, but any system will require these basic steps:

1. Locate your computer’s network settings, and search for nearby WiFi networks.

2. Select your network (SSID), and enter your password. Your network (SSID) and password information is located on a label on the back of your wireless modem/router that was installed. Passwords are case sensitive.

3. If the connection is successful, open your web browser and try navigating to a webpage like www.google.com. If the page loads, it means your WiFi connection is working correctly.
