Wi-Fi Setup Guide

Wi-Fi System Setup Guide

This guide shows you how to connect everything step by step.

Think of it like a chain:

🌐 Internet → ⬛ Router → 🔌 Power Box → ⚪ Wi-Fi Antenna

🧩 What you have

  • 🌐 Your main internet router
  • ⬛ TP-Link Omada (the brain)
  • ⚪ Round white device (Wi-Fi antenna)
  • 🔌 Power injector (small white box)
  • 🔗 Ethernet cables
  • ⏰ Power strip timer

🔌 Step-by-Step Setup

Step 1:
Connect your internet → Omada router (WAN port)
Step 2:
Omada router (LAN port) → Power box (LAN port)
Step 3:
Power box (POE port) → Wi-Fi antenna
⬛ Omada → 🔌 LAN → 🔌 POE → ⚪ Antenna

⚡ Power Everything

  • Plug in the Omada router
  • Plug in the power injector

👉 The antenna should show a blue light = working

⏳ First Time Setup (VERY IMPORTANT)

After turning everything ON, it can take up to 24 hours to fully start working.

👉 This is normal.

Think of it like this:

  • 🧠 The system is “learning” and connecting
  • 📡 It is getting approved and activated
  • ⏱ It needs time before working properly

During this time:

  • You might not see results right away
  • Do NOT unplug anything
  • Do NOT reset the system

👉 Just leave it on and let it do its thing

⏰ Automatic Daily Restart (VERY IMPORTANT)

The power strip is programmed like a smart switch.

Every day it does this:

  • Turns everything OFF for a few minutes
  • Then turns everything back ON

Example:

4:00 AM → OFF

4:05 AM → ON

This is like restarting your phone every day.

  • 🧠 Keeps system fresh
  • 🚀 Fixes slow internet
  • 🔄 Prevents freezing

🧪 Final Check

  • Blue light on antenna
  • Lights on Omada router
  • All cables firmly connected

🛠 Troubleshooting

No internet:

  • Check cable from main router → WAN port
  • Restart everything

No blue light:

  • Check POE cable
  • Check power box is plugged in

Slow or unstable:

  • Wait 5–10 minutes after startup
  • Daily restart will help

Quick Fix:

Unplug everything → wait 30 seconds → plug back in

⚠️ Important

  • Do NOT unplug cables randomly
  • Do NOT change ports
  • If something fails → just restart the system
