Product Manual

Single Router

For Single Router:
Connect the provided network cable from the AX-1800 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

• 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.
• 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 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 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:* 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.
Note:** 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 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 “azores router”) or Scan the following code.
   

3. Login with Wi-Fi password on the bottom of the Master AP.
   

4. Enter the “My Wi-Fi” menu to modify WiFi 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.
