How Do I Find/ Locate My Router
Typically located in the office or wherever your internet service connection enters the building. The router that SmartTab uses is either a Ubiquiti Unifi UDM (a white R2D2 looking orb) or an ASUS router.
If your location has a Dream Machine, locate it. It usually has a blue glowing ring around the top *example image below.
How Do Power Cycle My Router
Do not “restart” the router, but rather recycle power to the router by unplugging the power cable for 10 seconds, and then reconnect the power cable and wait for 1-2 minutes for the router to reconnect.
First confirm the internet cable going into the input of the Dream Machine is securely inserted. Then pull the power cable directly from the Dream Machine. *The power cable will be white & flat.
After you unplug the power cable, wait 30 seconds and then plug it back in. It will take several minutes before the Dream Machine restarts fully. You will hear a doorbell like sound when it has restarted fully.
If the problems persists, what should I try next?
Locate your modem/router provided to you by your internet service provider and repeat the same steps with their device 1st. Then after waiting for the modem/router to come back up, repeat the steps with the SmartTab router.
