6. Adgang til routerens Web Interface: Åbn a web browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Edge) and enter the default IP address (usually 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1) eller web address provided on the router's label.
7. Følg instruktionerne på skærmen: The setup wizard will guide you through configuring your internet connection, setting up new WiFi network names (SSIDs) and passwords, and establishing an administrator password for the router. It is highly recommended to change the default WiFi and administrator passwords for security.

5. Betjeningsvejledning

5.1 Tilslutning af enheder

You can connect devices to your rockspace AC2100 router via wired Ethernet or wirelessly.

• Kablede enheder: Plug an Ethernet cable from your device (e.g., PC, gaming console) into any of the router's LAN ports.
• Trådløse enheder: On your device, select your WiFi network name (SSID) from the list of available networks and enter your WiFi password. The router supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, often broadcasting with a single SSID for seamless connection.

5.2 Dual-Band Technology

The AC2100 router operates on two frequency bands:

• 2.4 GHz bånd: Giver bredere dækning og bedre indtrængning gennem vægge, velegnet til generel internetbrug og ældre enheder.
• 5 GHz bånd: Offers faster speeds and lower latency, ideal for bandwidth-intensive activities like 4K streaming and online gaming, but with a shorter range.

The router intelligently assigns devices to the optimal band for performance.

5.3 MU-MIMO-teknologi

The router incorporates 4x4 MU-MIMO (Multi-User, Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output) technology. This allows the router to communicate with multiple devices simultaneously, rather than sequentially. This reduces waiting time and improves WiFi efficiency, especially when many devices are connected and active, leading to faster speeds for all connected devices.

5.4 Beamforming and Range Boost

Beamforming technology focuses WiFi signals directly towards connected devices, rather than broadcasting in all directions. Combined with Range Boost, this enhances signal strength and coverage, reducing dead zones and improving connectivity even through walls and across larger areas.

5.5 Gæstenetværk

You can create a separate guest network to provide internet access to visitors without sharing your main network password. This enhances security by isolating guest devices from your primary network resources.

5.6 Forældrekontrol

The router's parental control features allow you to manage and monitor internet access for specific devices. You can set time limits, block websites, and restrict access to inappropriate content, ensuring a safer online environment for children.

5.7 Security Protocols

The router supports advanced security protocols, including WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK, to protect your network from unauthorized access. It also includes firewall capabilities and allows for customization of black and white lists for enhanced security management.

6. Vedligeholdelse

Regelmæssig vedligeholdelse er med til at sikre optimal ydeevne og levetid for din router:

• Firmwareopdateringer: Periodically check the rockspace official webwebsted for firmwareopdateringer. Opdatering af firmwaren kan forbedre ydeevnen, tilføje nye funktioner og rette sikkerhedssårbarheder.
• Genstarter: Hvis du oplever netværksproblemer, kan du prøve at genstarte routeren ved at tage strømadapteren ud i 10 sekunder og derefter sætte den i igen.
• Fysisk rengøring: Hold routeren fri for støv og snavs. Brug en blød, tør klud til rengøring. Sørg for, at ventilationsåbningerne ikke er blokerede.
• Adgangskodehåndtering: Regularly change your WiFi and administrator passwords to maintain network security.

7. Fejlfinding

If you encounter issues with your router, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Ingen internetadgang:
  • Check if the WAN indicator on the router is stable. If not, ensure the Ethernet cable from your modem is securely connected to the router's WAN port.
  • Genstart dit modem og derefter din router.
  • Bekræft, at din internetudbyders (ISP) forbindelse er aktiv.
• Slow Wired Connection Speeds:
  • Ensure you are using high-quality Ethernet cables (Cat5e or Cat6) for Gigabit speeds.
  • Confirm your device's network adapter supports Gigabit Ethernet.
  • Check the router's settings for any bandwidth limitations or Quality of Service (QoS) configurations that might be affecting wired speeds.
• Weak or Intermittent WiFi Signal:
  • Flyt routeren til en mere central placering, væk fra forhindringer og interferenskilder.
  • Sørg for, at routerens antenner er korrekt orienteret.
  • Consider using the 2.4 GHz band for devices further away or through multiple walls, and the 5 GHz band for closer, high-bandwidth devices.
• Kan ikke få adgang til routerens Web Interface:
  • Sørg for, at din enhed er forbundet til routeren (kablet eller trådløst).
  • Verify you are entering the correct IP address (e.g., 192.168.0.1) i din web browser.
  • Ryd din browsers cache, eller prøv en anden browser.
  • If you forgot the administrator password, perform a factory reset using the WPS/RST button (Bemærk: Dette vil slette alle brugerdefinerede indstillinger.).
• Power Plug Incompatibility:
  • Ensure the provided power adapter is compatible with your region's electrical outlets. If not, contact rockspace support for assistance or obtain a suitable adapter.
