FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Where is the best place to put my Wi-Fi Router?
The best place to put your "GigaSpire BLAST" Wi-Fi Router (white box) is in a central location with good “line of sight” visibility to the main areas of your home or office. If you need to place the Wi-Fi Router in a non-central location and find it does not reach all the areas in your home or office where you use the Internet, you can request a mesh unit to extend your signal.
Tip: Avoid placing the Wi-Fi Router next to large appliances, behind TVs, or in "service closets" such as power distribution or fuse panels. While the Wi-Fi Router is designed to provide extensive wireless range and coverage, these devices are sources of interference and may reduce your throughput or range.
Does it matter how I position my Wi-Fi Router?
For best performance, be sure to place your "GigaSpire BLAST" Wi-Fi Router upright and in a central location.
What do the lights on my Wi-Fi Router mean while it’s booting up?
The LEDs located on the corner of your "GigaSpire BLAST" Wi-Fi Router (white box) provide information on the status and current state of the system. Below, you will find a detailed status of the power-up cycle.
- All 4 lights are off – Power is off
- All 4 lights are on – Booting up / Software Upgrade

How do I know my Wi-Fi Router has completed boot-up?

How do I pair devices, like my printer?
Pair devices using the WPS button on the back of your "GigaSpire BLAST" Wi-Fi Router (white box). WPS stands for Wi-Fi Protected Set-up and is a security standard that makes it easier and faster to connect to other wireless devices.
If your device supports WPS, simply follow the instructions included with your device’s installation manual. Press the WPS button for less than 3 seconds on the back of the Wi-Fi Router when instructed.
What if I have more wired devices that I need to plug in?
There is only one LAN ethernet plug on the back of your "GigaSpire BLAST" Wi-Fi Router (white box). You can purchase an inexpensive gigabit switch and plug that into your LAN port to give you the ability to plug in multiple devices.

- Remove power from the Wi-Fi Router for 10 seconds, then restore power.
