WHAT YOU NEED BEFORE YOU BEGIN:
- Your SmartRG modem/router, plugged in and powered on
- A computer, tablet, phone, or other device with internet browsing software installed – Firefox, Chrome, and Safari, are typical examples
- A connection between your device and the SmartRG - We recommend doing this by connecting an Ethernet cord from your device to one of the LAN ports on the back of the SmartRG, but you can also do this using WiFi.
