1-4. Connect the power adapter to the DC IN port of the router.

1-5. Press the power button, and when the router is ready, the power LED indicator will light up.

1-6. Connect your PC or laptop to the router using either a wired or wireless connection.

2. Verify that the LED lights are displaying the expected indications.

Wi-Fi setting

Ensure that the front power LED is lights up continuously, and both the WAN port and LAN port are displaying flashing white lights upon connecting the respective cables.

If the WAN port's LED remains solid red, it indicates that the router is unable to establish an internet connection.

Check the status of the wired and wireless connections

After confirming that the router can power on properly, please check the status of the wired and wireless connections:.

Reset the MSI router

To restore the router to factory settings, take a tool (such as a paperclip) and press and hold the reset button located at the back of the router for approximately 5 seconds. Taking the Radix series gaming router as an example, the power LED will flash during this process, and once the flashing is complete, the router will be reset to its factory settings.

Note: This action will restore all router settings to the factory defaults.
