+This page describes the process of setting up your QORTector device.
+* Use an Ethernet cable to attach a modem or active data jack to the  Ethernet port on your Qort device. \\
+* Plug in the power adapter to power on the device. \\
+* Connect to the wireless network "qortal" with default password dmax911e. \\
+* In your web browser, navigate to http://172.24.1.1 \\
+{{ :qortal-portal.png?600 |}}
+* To access Qortal minting stage, SSH to portal IP address 172.24.1.1 as described on page [[hardware_-_service_access|Service Access]]
+If you do not wish to access Qort device via its Wifi network, you can obtain its WAN IP address from your modem or using a simple network scan utility. Please be advised not to assign it a public IP address without setting up firewall rules. Head over to [[hardware_-_firewall_rules|Netfilter Tutorial -  How To Secure Your QORT Router and Network Devices Connected To It]] to secure your device. \\
+//**Note:**// If you have an existing WiFi router then there is no issue of having two at the same time provided their channels or IP address don't conflict.
