II -- Quick Install

Quick Set up

Set up is simple and can be done both wirelessly and hard wired. For wireless setup

ensure your device has a compatible wireless adapter. Only use the power adapter

that was included with your router.

Plug router in and wait a few moments while it powers up.

Wireless Setup

o Connect your broadband internet via Ethernet cable to the WAN port on the

back of your Atlas Media router.

o Locate the newly added wireless network SSID (Atlas_xxxxx) on your PC or

device. The SSID will always default to Atlas_xxxxx, where xxxxx are the last

5 digits of your MAC address located on the bottom of the router. Connect

using default wireless password brokenbell1776.

o After you connect we recommend you log into the f irmware and change both the

default SSID and password.

LAN port.

o Next connect your broadband internet via Ethernet cable to the WAN port on

the back of your Atlas Media router.

Unless you are using a DSL modem, your Atlas Media router will be automatically

set to use Dynamic (DHCP) connection through the WAN port. As long as

everything is connected properly you should have internet immediately.
