Instructions

To setup the Gemtek Gateway to use WiFi instead of Ethernet, please follow the steps:

  1. Look at the bottom of the Gateway & find the AP name.

  2. Look for that AP name in your WiFi networks & connect to it.

  3. If the WiFi network does not show up, then:

    1. Look for the WiFi name (SSID: AP-XXXXXX) & password on the label. Then go to your WiFi settings on Windows/Mac & manually create a WiFi network, WPA2 Security & with the info provided below:

    2. If no Password is provided, then the password is a7z4GBXXXX, with the “XXXX” being the last 4 digits of devEUI. For example a7z4GBb432.

  4. Once you have connected to the AP-XXXX network, open a web browser & visit 192.168.55.1

  5. You will then need to login as:
    Username: admin
    Password: admin (or password from bottom of the label).

  6. On the left hand side, click on Network > WAN > Wireless Extender.

  7. On Extender mode, change it to “Enable”.

  8. Click the “Scan” button, then you click click on “— select one —” to view the available networks

  9. Next, select the desired network, type in the WiFi Password as the “KEY” and click “Save”.

  10. This will effectively reset the gateway & kick you off the WiFi connection you were on.

  11. Now you can disconnect the Gateway from Ethernet & check to see if it stays online on the IoT in a Box app.
