How to setup your Fixed LTE router
AC1200 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router
Step 1: Connect your Router
Carefully remove the SIM card from its packaging & insert it into the SIM socket, located at the back of the router.
Plug the power cable into the router and then into a power socket. The router will turn on automatically and search for available networks.
Please note that your service will not be able to activate if your router is not powered on. Remember this could take up to 24-48 hours for RICA to be accepted by MTN, so don’t stress if it takes a while. Please make sure your router is plugged in and switched on so when the RICA is accepted, your service can automatically activate.
Step 2: Connect your device to the router via cable or WiFi
Via Cable
Simply connect your PC to any of the orange ports on the router with a LAN cable.
Via WiFi
If you’d prefer to use WiFi, you need to check under your router for the WiFi network name, which may be called an SSID and the Password or security key. These are the default login details for the network.
On your device, find the network that matches the SSID on the bottom of your router and connect to it using the password.
Step 3: Personalise your WiFi settings
Now that you’ve connected your device to your router you’ll want to change the network name and password to make connecting devices easier.
Log into your router
Open your internet browser and type “tplinkmodem.net” and press enter. This will take you to a TP-Link page. Log into the TP-Link page by entering the username and password: admin
Step 3: Personalise your WiFi settings
Now that you’ve connected your device to your router you’ll want to change the network name and password to make connecting devices easier.
Log into your router
Open your internet browser and type “tplinkwifi.net” and press enter. This will take you to a TP-Link page. Log into the TP-Link page by entering the username and password: admin
Change your WiFi network name
Click on the left menu option labeled Wireless, then click on Basic Settings.
Rename your WiFi network to whatever you’d like by editing Wireless Network Name. Once you have renamed your network, click Save.
Change your WiFi password
Remove the current text within the Wireless password field and enter your new password. Click Save to finish your setup.
Follow the same steps on the *Wireless 2.4GHz* menu option as not all devices can connect to 5GHz WiFi.
