Connect the provided network cable from the AX-1500 Router to your home Broadband Gateway (i.e. cable/DSL modem, PON gateway). Please refer to SINGLE ROUTER SETUP STEPS for network setup.

For mesh router set
Master AP has the QR code on the bottom,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.

• When Single Router and Master AP in Mesh Router Set have the same operation steps, they are collectively referred to as Azores Router hereinafter.

ONE ROUTER SETUP STEPS

• The Azores Router can be connected according to the diagram above. Note the DSL/PON/Cable Gateway must be connected to the Port 1 of Azores Router. When it is connected to the Internet , the LED light is steady green. If you can, try placing the Azores Router in an open area like on a table or a shelf.
• Wired devices can be connected directly to ports 2, 3, or 4 for Internet access; wireless devices can use the network name (SSID) & password (see the sticker on the bottom of Azores Router) to connect to the Internet.

MESH SETUP STEPS

Place the Slave AP at a proper location based on your home layout. After powering on again, 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 AP and Slave AP. We recommend one
wall/door/floor between the Master AP and Slave AP. You can connect the Slave AP to your Master AP via network cable (preferred method) or wirelessly.
Note: If you know there is a spot in your home, where the Wi-Fi signal is the weakest. Try to place the Slave AP midway between the Master AP and the weakest spot.
Note: When Master AP and Slave AP pair successfully, the SSID and Password would be the same, that is showing on the bottom of Master AP.
