Setup Your Micro Router

1. Connecting Power and Ethernet

Power your Micro Router using the included micro-USB connector and connect as shown in the image. Next, connect the ethernet cable.
The Micro Router has two ethernet ports. To connect to an existing network, plug an ethernet cable into the port that is next to the power port, as shown in the image. Plug the other end into an open port on your network switch.
The Micro Router uses DHCP by default to acquire an IP address on your network.
  

2. Logging In

Login using the command below and your Micro Router's IP Address. The default password is 'password'.
# ssh root@192.168.x.x
  

3. Sample Web Page

Using your favorite browser, browse to 192.168.x.x (using your Micro Router's IP address). (username: master, password: password)
The web page content is in the file: /www/index.html
You can edit the page using the command:
# nano /www/index.html
    

4. Writing code in Python

Install the Python package of your choice as follows:
# opkg update
# opkg install python-light
(optional variation: opkg install python)
To confirm Python is running on your Micro Router, launch it with the 'python' command.
# python
>>> print('Hello World')
Hello World
>>> quit()
