Quick Start Guide

3. I forgot my password.

a. Reset the router to its factory default settings and use the default username

admin and default password 1234. Default settings are displayed on the product

label on the back of the device, as shown above.

4. Do the blue WAN port and yellow LAN ports work the same when

the device is in different modes?

No, the WAN and LAN ports have slightly different functions depending on the

operating mode of the device.

a. In Wi-Fi router mode, the WAN port is for a direct connection to your xDSL

modem. The LAN ports are for wired network clients.

b. In access point mode, the WAN port is not functional. Connect your existing

router to the device’s LAN port, and the other LAN ports can connect wired

network clients.

c. In Wi-Fi extender, Wi-Fi bridge & WISP mode, the WAN port is not functional

and the LAN ports are for wired network clients. Do not connect your existing

router to the device’s WAN or LAN ports, as this can cause the device to

malfunction.

Refer to Browser Based Configuration Interface to change your operation

mode into router mode before using following features.

5. How do I use USB storage? (Router mode only)

a. Connect your USB storage to the USB port on the rear of the EW-7478APC. USB

sharing is enabled by default so devices on your network can access the USB

storage drive using appropriate tools for your OS (e.g. Windows File Explorer 

Network).

USB drives should be pre-formatted to support

FAT32 or NTFS file systems before using with

the USB port. USB hubs are not supported.

For more detailed configurations such as folder-sharing and FTP, login to the

browser-based configuration interface at http://edimax.setup and go to USB in

the main menu. Refer to the user manual for more help.
