Installation Guide

Before You Get Started

  1. Only install the router once you receive confirmation from us that your line has been activated by the Fibre provider. We’ll notify you via email and SMS
  2. Once you’ve started the router installation, the session will allow 60 minutes to complete the setup. If, for whatever reason, you get distracted during that time, the session will expire, and you’ll need to start the whole process again from scratch.
  3. Make sure you’re connected to the Wi-Fi network called “MikroTik”. If the Wi-Fi network is called anything else BUT “MikroTik” then there could be an issue with the router. Please call our support team for further assistance.
  4. We also have a handy video on how to install your router, you can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnR8r41toz8
