This article applies to the Evolution Digital EVO5000AP Router. If you are unsure of your router model, check the sticker on your router to verify the model is listed as EVO5000AP. 

1. Make sure the router is powered on.

2. Connect a smart device or PC to the router with an ethernet cable, or through the Wi-Fi network. 

3. Open a web browser and type 192.168.1.1 into the address bar and hit enter
