Wired Connection
IMPORTANT – When connecting your Ethernet cable into the modem, ensure you plug the cable into a
LAN port (not the WAN port).
Envoy R
Using an ethernet cable, connect the Envoy R to your router/modem and wait up to 5 minutes. If
successful the IP address will change to an address that begins with either 192, 172 or 10, and you
should also see “+Web” in the top right corner.
Envoy S
Using an ethernet cable, connect the Envoy S to your router/modem and wait up to 5 minutes. The very
top LED (next to the cloud icon) will begin flashing green initially to indicate that the Envoy S is
attempting to establish a connection to the Internet. If successful, the top LED will become solid green.
Wireless Connection
WPS Method (All Envoy Models)
The WPS method is the easiest and quickest method to connect an Envoy to the Internet. Therefore, it is
recommended to attempt this first as it will only take a few minutes.

button to select it.

Method A for Envoy R – Manual Configuration for Internet Connection
NOTE – The Wi-Fi adapter must be plugged into the Envoy, otherwise step 1 will not work

then release the MENU button to select it (the message “Wi-Fi AP Enabled” should appear on the screen
briefly).
2) On a smartphone/tablet/laptop/computer (any device that is able to connect to a Wi-Fi network),
connect to the Envoy’s Wi-Fi network (ENVOY_xxxxxx where “xxxxxx” represents the last 6 digits of the
Envoy serial number).
3) Open up any web browser application (eg. Safari, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome), type into the
address bar “172.30.1.1” and press enter.
