      • If it does not, Go to your prefered web browser and go to http://192.168.192.168.
  2. Initial Login

    • Log in to the local configuration page using the following credentials:
      Username: yeti-pro-admin
      Password: The last 4 digits of the device's MAC address.
    
  3. Configure WiFi

    1. Once logged in, navigate to the WiFi Settings page.
