4.   Connect the GigaCheck to one of the LAN ports on the customer’s RG, as indicated in  

      

the app.

5.  Once a connection is established between the GigaCheck and the app, a green check mark will 

appear in the app, and the device status LED on the GigaCheck will turn green.

6.  At this point, the GigaCheck can be connected to the RG over Wi-Fi, allowing for Wi-Fi 

thorughput tests. This can be done two ways:

•  By pressing the WPS button on the RG. The GigaCheck will automatically connect to the 

RG within about 30 seconds.

•  Note:  Whether the GigaCheck connects to 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz will depend on the 

configuration of the RG. Some RGs have WPS disabled.

•  By selecting the SSID of the RG and entering its WPA key, as shown below.
