# Router
The Valpas router connects the guest room technology (SafeSleep bed legs) to the internet. It enables the SafeSleep bed legs to communicate securely and in real time—keeping protection status up to date across your hotel. Once installed, it works quietly in the background to support your certification and ensure continuous coverage.
## Step 1: Get prepared
Make sure you have the following equipment:
## Step 2: Selecting the ideal placement for the router
Choose a discreet location for the router that meets the following criteria:
* Close to a **power socket**
* Within range of the guest rooms—preferably with **only one wall or ceiling** between the router and the beds
* Near an **Ethernet port** or within reach of a **stable Wi-Fi connection**. A router that uses a SIM card needs neither.
## Step 3: Power Up
Connect the power cable to the router and plug it into a wall outlet. The device will switch on automatically.
**Status light (A) indicators:**
* 🟢 **Green** – Connected to the internet
* 🔵 **Blue** – Trying to establish a connection
* 🔵 **Blinking blue** – Configuration mode active
* 🔴 **Red** – Connection error or no internet. Open configuration mode for troubleshooting. On a SIM connection, red is expected while the router connects.
## Step 4: Connect to the internet
You can connect the router to the internet with an Ethernet cable, a SIM card, or Wi-Fi. An Ethernet cable is the most reliable option, so use one wherever a port is available. Note that the Ethernet connection automatically overrides the Wi-Fi connection.
Using cable connection (recommended)
Attach an Ethernet cable to the router
Using Wi-Fi connection
Open the configuration mode and set up a Wi-Fi connection as instructed.
1. **Activate configuration mode**\
Press the **configuration button (F)** on the router until the status light (A) starts blinking. The router will become a Wi-Fi access point.
2. **Connect your device**\
Using your phone, computer, or tablet, connect to the access point.\
Select **treongw1-serialnumber**, where *serialnumber* matches your router’s serial number.
3. **Enter your password**\
The password is printed on the label inside the router.\
If Windows 10 asks for a PIN code as the default access point password, select the option to enter a password instead.\
⚠️ **Important:** Change the default password after setup.
4. **Access the router settings**\
Open a web browser and go to **192.168.0.1**.
5. **Configure your settings**
* Change the router’s access point password (recommended).
* Review the error log.
* Set up your Wi-Fi connection.
6. **Exit configuration mode**\
When finished, either click **Quit** in the browser interface or press and hold the **configuration button (F)** until the status light stops blinking.
Using a SIM card
Use a SIM card when neither an Ethernet port nor a stable Wi-Fi connection is available.
The SIM card is normally already inserted in the router when it arrives, so there is nothing for you to install. Connect the power cable and leave the router switched on.
A SIM connection takes a few hours to establish. The status light stays red while the router is connecting, and turns green once it is online. A red light is expected here, so there is nothing to troubleshoot.
## Step 5: Check the status light
#### 🟢 (A) is green
When the light is green the router is connected to the internet and the installation is ready.
#### 🔴 (A) is red
**If the router connects by cable or Wi-Fi**, a firewall is preventing the router from connecting. Continue to [Router whitelisting](/installation_router_smart_legs/router-whitelisting.md).
**If the router connects with a SIM card**, a red light is expected for the first few hours. The connection does not go through the hotel network, so whitelisting does not apply. Wait for the light to turn green.
