There are two easy ways to set up your Cover Wi-Fi
The system, choose one of the following:
Option 1) D-Link Wi-Fi App Setup
Option 2) Web Browser Setup

Option 1:

D-Link Wi-Fi App Setup (iOS and Android Devices)

Download the D-Link Wi-Fi app from the App Store or Google Play. Run the app and tap “Install New Device” (COVR-C1203) to get started.

Option 2: (Only required if you did not install using Option 1 – D-Link Wi-Fi App Setup)

Cover Point Placement Tips
