Connect the Hardware

Connect the hardware according to the diagram in the opening chapter of this guide.
If your internet connection is through an Ethernet cable from the wall instead of through a DSL/Cable/Satellite modem, connect the Ethernet cable directly to the router’s WAN port, and follow Step 3 to complete the hardware connection.

  1. Turn off the modem, and remove the backup battery if it has one.
  2. Connect the modem to the WAN port on your router with an Ethernet cable.
  3. Turn on the router, and wait for it to start.
  4. Turn on the modem.

Configure the Router

  1. Connect your computer to the router (Wired or Wireless).
    • Wired: Turn off the Wi-Fi on your computer and connect your computer to the router’s LAN port using an Ethernet cable.
    • Wireless: Connect your computer to the router wirelessly. The SSID (Network Name) is on the router’s label.

  2. Launch a web browser and enter http://mwlogin.net in the address bar. Create a password for future logins.
    Note: If the login window does not appear, please refer to FAQ > Q1.

  3. Follow the step-by-step instructions of Quick Setup to set up your internet connection and wireless network.

Enjoy the internet!
Note: If you have changed the SSID and wireless password during the configuration, use the new SSID and wireless password to join the wireless network.
