Wireless Installation - Package 2
Home / Wi-Fi Hotspot Owners Club
If you’ve signed up for Package 2 and have received your Wi-Fi Hotspot Kit, you may need some help setting the system up. Our Hotspot boxes come pre-configured, so installation is simple. Follow the instructions below to get started!
If you have signed up for Wi-Fi Hotspot Package 1, have a look at this thread; Wireless Installation - Package 1
Out of the box, everything should be connected already. All you should need to do is connect the box to your broadband connection and plug the power in and should be up and running!
1. Unpack your Wi-Fi Hotspot box making sure everything is in there. You’ll find some marketing materials, Pre-paid WiFi Internet Vouchers, stickers, user guides, a silver or orange PolkaSpots Wi-Fi Hotspot box and a broadband modem (usually Netgear or Zyxel).
3. Carefully unpack the white box that contains your PolkaSpots WiFi Hotspot box. Connect the power supply to a mains socket and turn socket on. Wait about 10 seconds and make sure that:
a. The power light is lit
b. The WLAN light is lit
4. Connect the bright yellow Ethernet cable that is already plugged into the Wi-Fi Hotspot box into your adsl modem. Make sure the WAN light on the Wi-Fi Hotspot box is lit.
5. Wait for 5 minutes before checking the connection with your laptop. If you do not have one on site, you can call us up to see whether we can see you responding on our system.
Follow the instructions here to get online. Staff get free access too - just call us up and we’ll tell you how to get online.
