Quick Installation

Guide

Your QX300 has been pre-configured with an SSID (wireless network name) and

security pass phrase. See the label on your router for this information. If you wish to

change these or other settings, use the following instructions.

Step 2: Basic Wireless Settings To access the Wireless settings, click ‘Wireless’ and then ‘Basic’. The pre-con­figured settings on this page will be appropriate for most settings. You might want to change the SSID.

Click ‘Save’ to move to the final step.

Step 3: Wireless Security Setup

Your router is pre-configured with wireless security from the factory. The default wireless Pass Phrase is
printed on the label on the router. If you would like to change the Pass Phrase, click ‘Wireless’ and then
‘Wireless Security’. If, for example, you want to use WPA-PSKWPA2-PSK as the Security mode, TKIPAES as
the WPA algorithm, and abcxyz123 as the Pass Phrase, your settings would be like the following image.

IMPORTANT: Click ‘Save’ button, then ‘Reboot’ button at the bottom of the page to save and activate

your settings.

WARNING: Do not disconnect the power adapter during firmware upgrades or configuration.

D. Setting Up Your Wireless Devices

Your wireless devices (desktop, laptop, iPad, smart-phone, etc.) must be configured to work with your
wireless router. Each of these devices must have an internal or external wireless adapter and applicable
drivers. User guides for each of these devices should have instructions for wireless set up. You will need
the default SSID and Pass Phrase or what you assigned during router set up. For each wireless device,
access the setup menu, choose the appropriate SSID from the list of wireless networks, enter the Pass
Phrase, and test the wireless connection.

E. Telephone Service

Contact your service provider to provision your voice service on this device.
