Model: EX530v

Version: 1.0

Welcome! Let’s get your router up and running together.

This guide makes setup simple for everyone, covering helpful accessibility resources, what’s in the box, how it looks, and where to begin.

Our Tether app and web management page also offer accessibility features, such as increasing page contrast, switching to landscape mode and increasing font size. You can enable them during router setup for an easier and more enjoyable experience! For more accessibility guidance, refer to Accessibility Support.

Note: For some models, Accessibility features will be supported by subsequent firmware upgrades.

Now, ready to explore your router and get connected?

Step 1. Learn About Your Router

This section introduces the router’s package contents and appearance, including its ports, buttons, and product label.

1. Unbox Your Router

Your package includes: a router, a power adapter, an Ethernet cable, and installation guides.

Power Adapter: A block-shaped charger with a cord. Plug it into the router’s power slot to power on the router.

Ethernet Cable: A thick, smooth cord with a slightly stiff feel. It has a rectangular plastic connector at each end, with a small lever-like clip on top. To use it, align the connector with the Ethernet port on your device and push it in until you hear or feel a click. The clip helps secure the connection; you can press it down to remove the cable when needed.

2. Appearance

The router is similar to a cuboid but with slightly curved edges. It shall be placed on a flat surface upright, such as a table or a shelf.

Then, locate four small rubber footpads on the bottom of the router and place your router with footpads facing down.

Next, face directly to the side with 5 openings in a row, along with buttons. This marks the back panel. From top to down, they are:

Wi-Fi/WPS Button: A small round protruding button. To connect via WPS, press and immediately release the button, then press the WPS button on your device to connect via WPS. Press and hold the button for about 2 seconds, then release the button to turn the router’s Wi-Fi on or off.
Reset Button: A tiny recessed hole next to the Wi-Fi/WPS button. It needs a pin to press. To reset the router to factory default settings, press for 2 seconds and release. Then wait about 2 minutes for it to restart.
Phone port: Below the 2 buttons, slightly smaller than the Ethernet ports. For connecting your analog phone to the VoIP router.
Three 1 Gbps LAN Ports (1-3): Three square RJ-45 Ethernet ports, for connecting additional wired devices.
WAN Port: A square RJ-45 Ethernet port. Connect the router to a modem or an Ethernet outlet for internet access.
USB 3.0 Port: A small flat rectangular slot. Connect USB storage devices here.
Power Button: A round protruding button. To turn on your router, press it and wait about 2 minutes for the router to boot up. To turn off your router, press and immediately release it.
Power Port: A round opening. Plug in the provided power adapter to connect the router to the power socket.

Now, turn to the router’s button. There is a recessed label:

Product Label: located at the center of the bottom panel. It includes: the router’s default network name (SSID), the MAC address, and a QR code for scanning to connect to the default Wi-Fi.
