Setup your network manually If you are not using the MotoManage app, you will need to set up your whole home WiFi system manually. First you need to place and install the Router and Satellite in your home. 1 Take the unit labeled Router and place it near your cable modem, DSL modem, fiber optic modem, or an in-building Ethernet network used for Internet access. 2 Plug the included Ethernet cable between the WAN/LAN port on your unit marked Router and the LAN port of your modem or the Ethernet jack of your in-building network. 3 If you are using a modem, switch the power of the modem off now. (For some modem/routers, this requires you to remove a backup battery.) After the modem is off for at least 10 seconds, switch it back on. (If you removed a backup battery, plug the battery back in first.) 4 Now, connect the supplied power adapter between the Router's power jack and an electrical outlet. The Motorola logo on the front of the unit should start blinking green while the unit powers up. If the logo is not blinking green, check that the On/Off button on the back panel is pushed in. Wait for the Motorola logo to become solid green. This may take up to 2 minutes. If the Motorola logo does not stop blinking please see the Troubleshooting section at the end of this guide. 3
