WIFIX NEX5GO ROUTER – USER MANUAL
This User Manual provides the basics for configuring the WiFiX NEXR5GO router
with the WiFiX firmware.
In order to obtain the best results, avoid using WiFi to set up the router
since you cannot make changes to the WiFi while logged into the router via its
WiFi. Equally important, NEVER use WiFi when updating a router’s firmware.
-
Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the router’s “LAN” ports to the network port on a PC (or Laptop).
-
Plug the 12 Volt power adapter into the electrical wall socket and insert the power connector into the router.
The router will then begin its initial powering up process which, on the first power-up, may take a minute or two to complete. Left Clicking the Network/WiFi Icon on the PC’s lower (right hand) toolbar will show the completion of the initiation process when it changes from “Identifying…” to “Connected”. -
Open a web browser type in the router’s IP address of 192.168.1.1 and hit enter. Our WiFiX firmware includes WireGuard (VPN) which requires HTTPS as opposed to HTTP. Therefore, a nonprivate warning may be displayed since the router produces a “self-signed” HTTPS security certificate which is completely normal and safe. Different web browsers may display this warning a little differently. In Google Chrome, click on the Advanced button and click on the Proceed to 192.168.1.1
-
The login console should now appear with the user name of “root”. There is no password set on a new router and/or fresh install of WiFiX firmware so it should be left blank. Click the LOGIN button:
-
Once logged into the router, the Local Time and Time Zone need to be set. Go to SYSTEM > SYSTEM and click on SYNC WITH BROWSER. Next, select the proper Time Zone from the drop-down list then SAVE & APPLY (which must ALWAYS be done for ANY change to a firmware configuration to take effect).
-
Next, go to SYSTEM > ADMINISTRATION > ROUTER PASSWORD and enter the password that is required to access the router’s login console. Then, SAVE & APPLY:
-
To modify the WiFi settings go to NETWORK > WIRELESS select the EDIT button on the WiFi interface (2.4GHz and/or 5GHz) to be modified. This will allow changing the WiFi name (ESSID) and/or WiFi password.
-
On the lower screen GENERAL SETUP tab, modify the WiFiX broadcasting name to whatever name is desired:
-
Click on the WIRELESS SECURITY tab and enter the password (Key) to access the WiFi. Clicking on the icon next to the Key will display the password that was entered. Once completed with all settings, click SAVE & APPLY
-
The above steps are for a general setup of the WiFi. The WiFi Mode, Channels, Width, and Power may be manually configured from its default settings. This includes the ability to lock the WiFi to a specific channel or, by using the Auto channel selection option.
-
To lock the WiFi to a specific Channel, Go to NETWORK > WIRELESS > DEVICE CONFIGURATION > GENERAL SETUP, and select the preferred Channel from the drop-down list. Then, SAVE & APPLY.
-
Repeat Steps 8 through 11 to EDIT the other WiFi Interface as shown in Step 7.
-
After all of the settings are configured, we recommend rebooting the router. Allow the router a few minutes to boot up, stabilize and apply its new configurations.
-
One of the router’s features is the ability to Reset the Firmware to its default settings. This is useful if some of the changes adversely affected the router’s functionality or performance. This reset returns the firmware to its original (default) configuration and removes the password, WiFi, and others settings.
-
Go to SYSTEM > BACKUP/FLASH FIRMARE > RESTORE < RESET TO DEFAULTS and click PERFORM RESET :
-
If ever the occasion the WiFiX firmware becomes unstable or corrupt, reloading the WiFiX firmware may be recommended. Go to SYSTEM > BACKUP/FLASH FIRMWARE and CHOOSE FILE to the firmware’s location downloaded to PC and FLASH IMAGE. MAKE SURE the Keep Settings box is UNCHECKED:
