-====== Router setup ======
-==== Purpose and scope ====
-This page describes the procedures used to successfully install the local router, the mobile hotspot and secure the network.
-==== Prerequisite ====
-None
-==== Material ====
-You will need the following material:
-  * A router
-  * A SIM card
-  * A smartphone
-  * A mobile hotspot (if no internet access on health facility's site)
-==== Local router with internet setup (Online facility) ====
-In this section, we will setup a single router connected to the internet using a SIM card. This router will give internet access to the medAL-hub and/or tablets. **If you cannot access the internet on site and need a mobile hotspot**, follow a different approach: [[router#Local router and smartphone hotspot setup (Offline facilities)]]. Otherwise, follow this procedure:
-  - Check the sim card’s phone number:
-    - Insert it in a phone.
-    - For VODACOM, call //*106#//.
-    - Select //1//.
-    - Write it down.
-  - Insert the sim card in the router.
-  - Turn on the router.
-  - Connect your computer to the router (using an ethernet cable or Wi-Fi).
-  - Identify the router IP address. If you are on Windows, run the command: \\ <code>ipconfig</code> \\ And look for the ''Default Gateway'' IP address.
-  - Write the IP address in the web browser url space and press //Enter//.
-  - Enter the default admin credentials (username should be //admin// and password should either be //password// or empty string).
-  - Change the router admin password. Strong password is highly recommended: \\ username: //admin// \\ password: //Dain@m1c//
-  - Update the wireless ssid and its password to: \\ ssid: //health_facility_dynamic// \\ password: //SbqCdzBoW8amSx//
-  - Save the configuration.
-  - Buy the internet bundle. This can be done by inserting the SIM card into a smartphone, and adding funds to the SIM card.
-  - Connect to this new network and check that you have access to the internet: \\ <code>ping google.com</code>
-==== Local router and smartphone hotspot setup (Offline facilities) ====
-In this section, we will setup a first router to offer a local network on site. This will allow the hub and tablets to communicate to each other. A second mobile hotspot connected to the internet will also be available to export data regularly. To configure the local router, follow this procedure:
-  - Turn on the router.
-  - Connect your computer to the router (using an ethernet cable or Wi-Fi).
-  - Identify the router IP address. If you are on Windows, run the command: \\ <code>ipconfig</code> \\ And look for the ''Default Gateway'' IP address.
-  - Write the IP address in the web browser url space and press //Enter//.
-  - Enter the default admin credentials (username should be //admin// and password should either be //password// or empty string).
-  - Change the router admin password. Strong password is highly recommended: \\ username: //admin// \\ password: //Dain@m1c//
-  - Update the wireless ssid and password to: \\ ssid: //health_facility_dynamic// \\ password: //SbqCdzBoW8amSx//
-  - Save the configuration.
-Finally, make sure you own a hotspot which connects to the internet.
-  - Change the wireless ssid and password to: \\ ssid: //mobile_dynamic// \\ password: //yicoxZ8afL2MX6//
-  - Connect to this new network and check that you have access to the internet (before testing, make sure that you are in a propitious location where your hotspot can have mobile network access).
