What next?
Your activation date
It is important that you do not plug in this router before the go live date, otherwise you will not be able to connect to our network. Also, your internet connection with your current provider (if you have one) will stop working as soon as you unplug their equipment. Don’t worry if you do unplug it though, your previous broadband connection will be re-instated when you plug in their router again.
Connection
The way in which your router should be connected will depend on what type of socket you have. You are likely to have either of the following sockets:
This type of master socket is pre-ltered and will have 2 ports visible. If you have this type of socket, please follow Setup
1 on page 4.
This type of master socket requires additional lters which are supplied in this pack. If you have this type of socket please follow Setup
2 on page 5.

How to set up your router
Let’s have a 10 minute break while your broadband is activating. After this,
the router internet light will be green and the internet is ready to use.
From this point onwards you should keep your router switched on. Switching off your router will affect the broadband performance.
If the router ‘Broadband’ or ‘Internet’ light remains red/off after 10 minutes then there is a potential connection issue that the Fleur broadband support team can help you with. Just give them a call on 0333 320 4020 for assistance.

Having trouble connecting?
Can’t seem to connect? Follow our quick checklist below to try and x your problem.
If you have previously connected your devices using the yellow Ethernet cable and now want to connect wirelessly, please ensure that you unplug the cable from the router before you switch to Wi-Fi.
Can we change this so that we promote the use of the keep me card? The wireless key (password) is case sensitive, so please ensure that you enter it exactly as it is shown on the bottom of your router or on a plastic card which was included in the router pack.
If you are struggling to connect your devices to your Wi-Fi network, please make sure that Wi-Fi connectivity is activated on your device. You will nd this in your settings or by pressing a particular key on your computer.

Factors which can affect broadband
Multiple Users
The speed of the wireless router is limited. If there are several people in the house using multiple devices over Wi-Fi at the same time, the service will slow down. Downloading les, watching videos and real-time gaming all use a lot of bandwidth and will perform better on wired connections where possible.
Range
Wireless routers can only reach so far. If you have a big house or your walls are very thick and you have the router on one side of the house, you might not be able to access the network from the other side.
Your range, like your speed, is impacted by a number of factors: the type of construction of your property, thick walls between rooms and metal radiators next to the router.
Location
Routers may be ugly, but that doesn’t mean you should hide them behind the TV cabinet. If you want the best signal, you’ll need it out in the open, free of any walls and obstructions. Point the antennae perpendicularly, and elevate the router if you can. Lastly, make sure it’s in the centre of your house, so you have the best coverage possible throughout your home.
Interference
If you have neighbours, their routers may be interfering with yours and causing the signal to degrade. Wireless routers can operate on a number of different channels, and you want yours on a channel with as little interference as possible. The routers are set to automatically seek the clearest channel to operate on (based on the location of the router). At long distances from the router, interference may still be encountered.
Other routers aren’t the only thing that can cause interference. Cordless
phones, microwaves, ashing Christmas lights and other appliances can
interfere with your signal as well. Try moving your router farther away from potentially interfering appliances.
