SlowFoShow Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Connect to the R2 with a LAN cable from your PC/Laptop and then type dumaos/ on your browser address bar to start the setup process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowFoShow Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 It does not seem to work if you try it wirelessly as stated in the instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 6, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 6, 2021 Hey, welcome to the forum! Sorry to hear you're having this issue. We would usually recommend connecting via ethernet so you can complete the setup wizard and then change the WiFi password to connect. Are you able to borrow a laptop with an ethernet port from someone else in your home or from friends & family? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 6, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 6, 2021 Okay so could you try this please, I haven't suggested this yet so it might not work. You won't have internet while you do this. Connect the R2 LAN port to your ISP modem/router WAN/Internet port. Then connect to the ISP modem/router WiFi and go to 192.168.77.1 in the web browser and that should take you through to the R2 setup wizard. From there you can change the WiFi password. Once you've completed the wizard then plug it back in the regular way and connect to the R2 WiFi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidkutosi Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 I went back to my spectrum store and got new equipment to see if it will work but my laptop does t have Ethernet port so tomorrow I’m going to find a usb Ethernet adapter and try that but they only gave me a modem I think it only has one Ethernet port on the modem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
