Try the following things to identify your network hardware:
Look at how many antennas are on top of the router. If there are three, then it’s most likely a tri-band wireless AC1750 system like this one. Or, if there are four, it’s probably a tri-band wireless AC1900 system like this one.

Set up Wi-Fi at home without a router
There are multiple ways to set up Wi-Fi at home without a router. The first step is to plug the modem into the wall and connect it to your laptop or computer with an Ethernet cable.
You can also use a wireless adapter if you prefer, but this will be more expensive and less effective than using an Ethernet cable.
Once you have your computer connected, open your web browser and go to 192.168.1.1, which should bring up the login page for your modem/router combo device (if you don’t know what brand of modem/router combo device that you have, check on the bottom or back of it).
If there isn’t a login page, look at the manual that came with it or try performing a quick search online to find out how to access it.
Once you have successfully logged in, look for the wireless settings and turn off “wireless network mode.”
After doing this, your modem/router device should disconnect from Wi-Fi, so now we need to connect a separate router with an Ethernet cable or via a USB port if it’s compatible.
After connecting the router, turn on its wireless network mode and connect it to your modem/router device with an Ethernet cable.
This may seem like many steps, but once you’ve done this process one time, it will be very easy for any other devices you want to set up in the future.
Connect devices to your home mobile Wi-Fi network
The Wi-Fi network in your home is like a city. You can connect devices to it, but sometimes they might not find the right connection.
This blog post will teach you how to make sure that your devices are connected and get an internet signal!
The first thing you want to do is figure out what kind of Wi-Fi router you have so we know which steps are best for you.
If you have a 2Wire or 3M router, then follow these steps:
1) Connect the device directly to the wired port on your modem/router’s back with an Ethernet cable.
2) Login with your username and password
3) Find the page that shows how your devices are connected to the network and how much data is being used.
If you have a Linksys or Netgear router, follow these steps: Log in using username and password. Go to Wireless Settings, then Change wireless channel from Auto to Channel 11 and Save Changes.
If none of these steps resolve the problem, try restarting each device and seeing whether it’s working.
If they still can’t connect to the internet after all of this, please get in touch with us so we can look into how best to help!

Troubleshooting tips
If you’re having trouble connecting to the wireless network that you’ve set up, there are a few troubleshooting procedures you can try first.
Ensure the wireless router is switched on and connected. And that it’s in close proximity to your phone so the signals can reach one another.
Ensure you have entered all of your information correctly, like how you want your network name to be and how others can connect.
– Try restarting both devices (the phone that is acting as a wireless router and the phone that you are trying to connect to your network)
– Try restarting your home’s internet connection. This can do by turning off your home’s modem and router, waiting 30 seconds, then turning them back on again. This will automatically restart how it connects to the internet and how your devices connect to it.
– If you have a firewall on your wireless router. Make sure your phone is compatible with the station’s network before you try to use it there. Sometimes this can be not easy to configure, so you may have to reach out for help.
