Step 1 

Check that your computer has an Ethernet socket (it’s usually marked LAN) 
and plug it in.

Step 2 

Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into one of the four Ethernet ports at 
the back of the Hitron router. You can add 3 more wired devices by using the 
remaining ports.

Step 1

Bring your device into the same room as the Hitron router. This will give  
you the strongest wireless connection. (Don’t worry, once it’s connected  
you can move around the office.)

Step 2

Select your wireless network from those available.
Open the wireless settings or Network Manager 
on your device, then select your wireless network. 
Depending on the type of device, one or two WiFi 
network names (SSID) will appear and will be 
something like 

VM123456-2G

 and/or 

VM123456-5G

. Your WiFi  

network names (SSID) can be found on the label on the back of your  
router. We recommend you connect to the 5GHz SSID if your device is 
compatible (if your device isn’t compatible it won’t show you this option). 

Step 3

Enter the password (passphrase) for your  
network when asked. You can also find this on  
the back of your router. 

That’s it! Your device should now be connected.
