The product appearance may vary with models. Please refer to the product you purchased.

Tips

• If you use the modem for internet access, power off the modem first before connecting the WAN port of the router to the LAN port of your modem and power it on after the connection.
• Refer to the following relocation tips to locate the router to a proper position:
• Place the router in a high position with few obstacles.
• Unfold the antenna of the router vertically.
• Keep your router away from electronics with strong interference, such as microwave ovens, induction cookers, and refrigerators.
• Keep your router away from metal barriers, such as weak current boxes, and metal frames.

1. Power on the router.
2. Connect the WAN port of the router to the LAN port of your modem or the Ethernet jack using an Ethernet cable.

Connect the Router to the Internet

1. Connect your wireless client such as a smartphone to the WiFi network of the router, or use an Ethernet cable to connect the computer to the LAN port of the router. The WiFi name can be found on the label of the router’s body.

2. After the client connects to the router, the page will automatically redirect to the web Ul of the router. If not, start a web browser on your client and enter tendawifi.com in the address bar to access the router’s web Ul.
   tendawifi.com

3. Perform operations as prompted (smartphone used as an example).

4. Tap Start.

5. The router detects your connection type automatically.

  * If your internet access is available without further configuration (for example, PPPOE connection through an optical modem is completed), tap Next.
  * If the PPPoE user name and password are required for internet access, select the ISP Type based on your region and ISP and enter required parameters (if any). If you forget your PPPoE user name and password, you can obtain the PPPoE user name and password from your ISP and manually enter them. Then, tap Next.
3. Set the WiFi name, WiFi password and login password for the router. Tap Next.

Tips

The WiFi password is used to connect to the WiFi network, while the login password is used to log in to the web Ul of the router

Done. When the LED indicator is solid green, the network connection is successful.

To access the internet with:

• WiFi-enabled devices: Connect to the WiFi network using WiFi name and password you set.
• Wired devices: Connect to a LAN port of the router using an Ethernet cable.

Scenario 2: Set Up as an Add-on Node

Tips

• This route can be networked with Tenda Wif + routers.
• Ensure that the existing router (primary node) has been connected to the internet and the router (secondary node) to be added has never been used. If not, reset this router first.
• Two RX12L Pro are used as an example here. If the router fails to be added to an existing network, contact Tenda

Add the Router to an Existing Network

1. Place the router in an elevated and open position within 3 meters from your existing router.
2. Use the power adapter to connect the router to a power source.
3. Press the WPS button of the router for about 1-3 seconds. The LED indicator blinks green quickly. Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button of the existing router for 1-3 seconds to negotiate with this router.

When the LED indicator of the router lights solid green, the networking is successful and the router becomes a secondary node in the network.

Relocate the Router

1. Refer to the following relocation tips to locate the router to a proper position:
   • Ensure that the distance between any two nodes is less than 10 meters.
   • Keep your routers away from electronics with strong interference, such as microwave ovens, induction cookers, and refrigerators.
   • Place the routers in a high position with few obstacles.
2. Power on the router again.
3. Wait 1-2 minutes and observe the router’s LED indicator. If the LED indicator is solid green, the connection between the primary node and the secondary node is good. Otherwise, move the router (secondary node) closer to the existing router for better connection quality.

Done.

To access the internet with:

• WiFi-enabled devices: Connect to your WiFi network. (The WiFi name and WiFi password of the new router are the same as the existing router.)
• Wired devices: Connect to a LAN port of the router using an Ethernet cable.
