    First di configure the Vodafone Station, you need to connect it to the mains and to the line. How? I'll explain it to you right away. First, connect the device to the electrical outlet, using the appropriate cable (to be connected to the Power modem); then connect the Vodafone Station to the Internet line using the DSL cable (which must be inserted in the red door router).



    Now, take the telephone cable and plug the appliance into the door TEL1 of the Vodafone Station, so as to be able to take advantage of the telephone function (which, as you may already know, with VDSL and fiber optic lines passes through the router and not through the classic telephone sockets).

    If you want to connect your computer and other devices to the Internet via Ethernet cable instead of via Wi-Fi, connect them to the Vodafone Station using the Ethernet ports color yellow.

    I remind you that, if you want to connect via Wi-Fi to your Vodafone line, all you have to do is enter the access key to the Wi-Fi network indicated on the label located on the back of the device (as well as on the included sticker of its instruction booklet). More info here.
