WLAN Access Point Quick SetUp
NetModule routers can be easily set up by using the Web Manager. It is supported by the latest web browsers. Please ensure to have JavaScript turned on. Any submitted configuration via the Web Manager will be applied immediately to the system when pressing the Apply button. When configuring subsystems which require multiple steps (for instance WLAN) you can use the Continue button to store any settings temporarily and apply them at a later time. Please note, that those settings will be neglected at logout unless applied. The following steps need to be taken to establish your first Web Manager session and open up a Wifi network with an internet connection supplied by the SIM card provided. Further details could be found in the manual.
