Why use Ethernet cable instead of Wi-Fi connection?
Because Ethernet connection is a physical connection which is more stable than Wi-Fi connection. Customers can get better experience while using our product. That's why we recommend you use Ethernet cable instead of Wi-Fi connection.

a. Plug Ethernet cable one end to you regular router (use one of the LAN ports in the back) and the other end to Ethernet port of Q Station
b. Plug audio cable from audio out of your Q Station to your audio system.
Step 2. Encrypt your Wi-Fi connection
By default, Q Station SSID is "bellnetXXXXXX". No Encryption.(XXXXXX is the last 6 digit of your MAC)
For security reason, we recommend you'd better add password to your Wi-Fi connection.

c. Click "Basic Settings", to enter the management page.
