🔌 Setting Up Your Router for the First Time

Overview

After Triangle installs your ONT (Optical Network Terminal), you need to connect your Wi-Fi router to get wireless internet throughout your home. This guide covers standard router setup.

What You Need

• Your Triangle ONT (installed by our engineer — the white/grey box with a cable port)
• A Wi-Fi router (purchased separately or provided by Triangle)
• An ethernet cable (usually supplied with the router)
• A device (laptop or phone) to configure the router

Connection Steps

1. 1Connect the ethernet cable from the ONT's LAN port to your router's WAN port (often labeled 'Internet' and colored differently).
2. 2Plug in your router's power adapter and turn it on.
3. 3Wait 2 minutes for the router to fully boot — lights should stabilize.
4. 4On your device, connect to the router's default Wi-Fi network (name and password are on a label on the router).
5. 5Open a browser and go to 192.168.1.1 (or 192.168.0.1, 192.168.1.254, 192.168.0.254, 192.168.88.1, routerlogin.net, or netic.cc) to access the router settings.
6. 6Log in with the default credentials — usually admin / admin (check the label).
7. 7Follow the setup wizard or go to WAN Settings and select 'DHCP' as the connection type.
8. 8Save and reboot the router. You should now have internet access.

After Setup

Once online, we recommend immediately changing your Wi-Fi name and password from the defaults. See the guide: How to Change WiFi Name & Password.
