Connect your router

Hello, welcome to the Rock Space.
Note:
If this is the first time you are using a router or you are not very proficient in router settings, please skip Step 1 and start from Step 2.
If you are very proficient in router settings and know what is the PPPoE user name and password, you can refer to step 1 to copy them from your original router to the AX1800 WiFi router. It will save you some time.
Step 1: Import your PPPoE user name and password from your original router.

1. Power on your original and new routers.

2. Connect the WAN port of the original router to a LAN port of the new router using an Ethernet cable.

3. When the WAN and LAN LED indicators of the new router turn solid on for 3 seconds after blinking fast, the PPPoE user name and password are imported to your new router successfully.
   Note: If the PPPoE user name and password are imported to your new router successfully, this router will auto-fill the ISP User Name and ISP Password when you select the PPPoE connection type.

4. Remove the original router.
   

Step 2: Connect your new router to the internet.

1. Power on the new router.
2. Connect the WAN port of the new router to the LAN port of your modem or the Ethernet jack using an Ethernet cable.
   The WAN LED indicator lights are on.

Connect your devices to the new router

Method 1: Connect your WiFi-enabled device (such as a smartphone) to the new router’s WiFi network using the SSID（WiFi name） labeled on the bottom of the router. There is no WiFi password by default.

Method 2: Connect your wired device (such as a computer) to a LAN port of the router using an Ethernet cable. The LAN LED indicator lights up.

Set up the new router for internet access

Step 1: Enter the IP address.
After the connection with your client device is established, the setup page will automatically pop up.
If the setup page doesn’t pop up automatically, open your browser on your device and enter 192.168.1.1 in the address bar, and press “Start” on the start page.
In the Password field, type the user name(admin)and password(admin)to log into the management interface.

Note: Both the user name and password are “admin”. The password you entered in this step is NOT the password for your extended network, it is the password for the extender’s management interface. If you cannot log in to the web UI of the router, refer to Q1 in FAQ.
Step 2: Set up the time zone.
Please select your region and time zone. Then click “Next”.

Step 3: Select your Connection Type.
The router supports three connection types: PPPoE, Dynamic IP Address, and Static IP Address.
And the router will detect your internet connection type automatically. Set required parameters and click “Next”.

Note: If your internet connection type is Dynamic IP, tap “Next”.

Note: PPPoE is used for illustration here. If you migrated your PPPoE user name and password from your original router, this router auto-fills the ISP User Name and ISP Password. Otherwise, you should enter your PPPoE user name and password and tap “Next”.

Note: If your internet connection type is Static IP, enter your IP address and other information your ISP provides, and tap “Next”.
Step 4: The wireless setting.
Customize your Wi-Fi name (SSID) and Wi-Fi password. You can also hide the SSID, and click “Next”.
Note: If you have hidden one or two network names, you should follow the instructions below after finishing the setup.
Turn on the smartphone. Then click “Settings>WLAN>Add Network”. And fill in the network name you have hidden. Such as ”rock space-WiFi6-2.4g”. Click “Connect”, and enter the new password. You will connect to the network successfully.
Step 5: Finish setting.
Confirm your network name and password and click ”Next”.

Note: After this setting, the router will reboot again. Go to your WI-FI network list and find the SSID named by yourself. The WiFi-enabled devices can connect to the AX1800 router by entering the new password. And the wired devices connected to the router can access the internet directly now. If you want to modify the settings, please log in to the management page (IP address
is 192.168.1.1) again after completing the initial settings.
Step 6: Customize more functions.
