This guide is a clean walk-through of how to set up your Wavlink HD4 from scratch using either ap.setup or 192.168.10.1, depending on what works on your device.

Easy Steps to Set Up Your Wavlink AERIAL HD4 WiFi Router

Let’s go through the steps one by one to get your router set up correctly.

• Connect the power adapter that came with router to a power source. Wait for the router’s power light to turn on after you put it in. Now your computer is all set to go.
• Now, connect one end of the Ethernet wire that came with the Wavlink router to its WAN port.
• Connect other side of Ethernet cable into your modem. Press the router’s power button to turn it on once everything is connected.
• Wait a minute or two for it to fully start up. This means the router is running and trying to connect to the internet. The lights will quickly flash.
• Go to the WiFi settings on your phone, tablet, or PC. Search for your device’s built-in WiFi name (SSID). Most routers have a sticker on the bottom or back that has this name and the password on it.
• Pick out the name of the WiFi network from the list.
• Enter the password on something and type it in to join.
• You’ll need to set up the router once you’re connected to router. Type 192.168.10.1 into your device’s browser’s address bar and press Enter. This will take you to the router’s page where you can log in.
• You will be asked to enter a login and password. When you first set up, the basic login information is usually username and password: admin. Type these in and click “Login” to get to the router settings.Carefully follow the steps shown on the screen to finish setting up, then, restart the router.
• You can connect your devices to the new WiFi network. Find the name (SSID) of the WiFi network you set up earlier and use the password you made to join.

Common Setup Issues

Ap.setup or 192.168.10.1 not loading?

• Make sure you’re connected to the router’s WiFi, not another network

Can’t log in with admin/admin?

Someone may have changed the credentials. Press and hold the reset button on the router (usually found at the back) for 10 seconds with a pin. The router will reset to factory defaults.

No internet after setup?

• Make sure your modem is online and working
