RAK Client WiFi Setup

Follow these steps to configure the RAK router as a WiFi client.

1. Power on the router and wait for the LED to pulse blue/green (approx. 30s to 1min).
2. On your PC, check the list of available Wi-Fi networks:
   • If the RAK router appears, connect to it.
   • If it does not appear, refer to the Troubleshooting section.

1. A password is required to connect. Most routers use the default password:
   • MyFridgeRAK#1
   • If not, refer to the location sheet for the correct password.

1. Open a browser and navigate to: https://192.168.230.1/
2. If you see a “Connection Not Private” warning:
   • Click Advanced

• Click Proceed

1. At the login screen, use the same password found in the location sheet.

1. In the router console, navigate to Network on the left-hand menu.
2. Click the WAN tab.

1. Open the Wi-Fi dropdown and click Settings.

> ⚠️ **Note:** During these steps, you may get disconnected multiple times. If the page doesn't load, make sure you’re still connected to the router’s network.

1. Toggle the Wi-Fi Enabled switch.

1. The router will restart to apply the changes.

1. Reconnect to the router and return to the Wi-Fi settings (refresh the page if necessary).
2. Enter the Wi-Fi credentials for the target network and click Save.

1. Once connected, verify that the router is communicating with Amazon or Loriot.

This may indicate that Wi-Fi access is disabled on the device. Try the following steps to connect:

1. Connect a LAN cable directly between the router and a PC.
2. Power on the router.
3. Calculate the fallback IP using the router's MAC address.

Example: If the MAC address is `AC1F09140F01`:

1. Take the last two hex digits: `0F` and `01`
2. Convert them to decimal using Windows calculator:
   1. `0F` → 15
   2. `01` → 1

1. Construct the fallback IP as: 169.254.15.1

Use this IP in the browser to access the router console:

1. `https://169.254.15.1/`

After completing the setup, remember to enable LAN WiFi so the device appears again in the Wi-Fi list.
