Product Manual

Single Router

For single router：Connect the provided network cable from the AX1800 Router to your home Broadband Gateway (i.e. cable/DSL modem, PON gateway). Please refer to SINGLE ROUTER SETUP STEPS for network setup.

Mesh Router Set

For mesh router set: Master AP is used as the main router, which is to be connected, via provided network cable, to your home Broadband Gateway (i.e. cable/DSL modem, PON gateway); Slave AP is used for Wi-Fi network expansion. Please refer to ONE ROUTER SETUP STEPS (for Master AP) & MESH SETUP STEPS (for Slave AP) for network setup.

One Router Setup Steps

1. The Single Router or Master AP in a Mesh Router Set can be connected according to the diagram above. Note the DSL/PON/Cable Gateway must be connected to the WAN port of the AP. The AP is connected to the Internet when the LED light is steady Green. If you can, try place the Single Router or Master AP in an open area like on a table or a shelf.
2. Wired devices can be connected directly to LAN port for Internet access; wireless devices can use the network name (SSID) & password (see the sticker on the bottom of the Single Router or Master AP) to connect to Internet.

Mesh Setup Steps

Place the Slave AP at a proper location based on your home layout. After powering on, Slave AP is all set when the LED is steady green. To optimize wireless performance, place the Slave AP in a location that minimizes the barrier (such as wall, door, and floor) between the Master and the Slave AP. We recommend one wall/door/floor between the two APs. You can connect the Slave AP to your Master AP via network cable (preferred method) or wirelessly.

Note:

1. If you know there is a spot in your home, where the Wi-Fi signal is the weakest.  Try place the Slave AP midway between the Master AP and the weakest spot.
2. When Master AP and Slave AP paring successfully, the SSID and Password would be same, that is showing on the bottom of Master AP.

Azores Router Mobile APP

1. Connect your Mobile device to Wi-Fi network according to the Wi-Fi SSID and password sticker on the bottom of the Master AP.
2. Download mobile APP software from corresponding App Store (searching for “azores router”) or Scan the following QR code.
3. Login with WiFi password on the bottom of the Master AP
4. Enter the “My Wi-Fi” menu to modify Wi-Fi configuration or perform other operations.
   Note: If you want to use the mobile device to perform other operations on the router, follow the instructions on the mobile APP.

Frequently Asked Questions

• I replaced my old router with Azores AP. After connecting network cable from DSL/PON/Cable gateway to the Azores AP or Azores Master AP in a mesh set, the AP’s red LED or Green LED is keep flashing. What should I do?
  For some cable carriers, they limit the number of in-home device to one. This problem may happen if you replace your old router with Azores AP. In this case, you need to power down the cable gateway, leave it powered down for 15 seconds and power back it up. Afterwards, power down and up the Azores AP or the Master AP in a mesh set, then you should see the AP’s LED turns solid green pretty soon.

• How to reset the device?
  When the router is powered on, pushing the “Reset” hole on the bottom of the device with a needle. The LED starts to flash green and hold for 5 more seconds. Release when the LED turns off. The LED will become steady red and will then start to blink green. Wait for about 2 minutes, then the factory default reset is completed.
