# Router
The Valpas router connects the guest room technology (smart bed legs or smart legs) to the internet. It enables the smart bed legs or smart 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**
## 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.
## Step 4: Connect to the internet
You can connect the router to the internet with an Ethernet cable connection or a Wi-Fi connection. Note that the Ethernet connection automatically override 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.
## 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
When the light is red, a firewall prevents our device from connecting. Continue to[ Router whitelisting ](/installation_router_smart_legs/router-whitelisting.md)
