How to use

Place the router on a stable tabletop surface and connect the VDSL line or an Ethernet WAN (FTTP/Cable) to the WAN port. Attach the provided antennas and connect LAN devices to the Gigabit RJ‑45 ports or configure wireless clients using the SSID and WPA2/WPA3 security settings. Use the web management interface or VigorACS to perform initial setup: configure WAN failover/load balancing, set up VPN tunnels for remote access, apply Quality of Service rules and configure VLANs for network segmentation. For USB storage, plug a compatible drive into the USB port and enable file or service sharing in the router settings.

Recommendations

For stable performance, position the router centrally relative to wireless clients, enable WPA3 where supported, and keep firmware updated via VigorACS. When using multiple WAN connections, configure load balancing and route policies to prioritise critical traffic such as VoIP and video conferencing.
