Router appearance

The product shown below may be slightly different from what you receive.

This picture shows how to connect the router to a modem and a computer.

Tip: Your router has options to connect through LAN or WLAN.

What you receive

Screenwise Router setup includes:

• Nokia router
• Ethernet cable
• Power cord
• Setup instructions

Are your modem and router combined?

• A modem connects to the wall by a cable. This device gives internet to your home.
• A router broadcasts Wi-Fi in your home.
• If you have Wi-Fi in your home and only 1 device, your modem and router are likely combined.

If your modem and router are combined, skip to Install the router.

If your modem and router are 2 separate devices, follow these steps:

1. Disconnect any computers connected to your modem.
2. Turn off and unplug your modem.
3. Locate the cable connecting your modem to your router. Disconnect the cable at the router end only.

Keep your router available. You'll need to use it again if you stop participating in this panel.

Install the router

5. Plug in the power cords for the Nokia router and your modem.
6. Turn the Nokia router power switch on.

If you need more help with the router, check the Nokia Beacon 6 manual.
