  If your computer or smartphone is using Wi-Fi to connect to the internet, this will disconnect you from the internet and connect directly to the MAIN CONSOLE of your weather station

• Once connected, open your web browser, type 192.168.1.1 in the address bar and hit RETURN or ENTER on your keyboard
  This will take you to the Holman weather station setup page 23. Fill out the following Wi-Fi ROUTER SETUP details:
  Depending on the model of your weather station, some of these fields may not be on your setup screen
