Preliminary operation

To begin with, it is my duty to make a small but important clarification: to make this tutorial, I used a Vodafone Station Revolution. The indications in the guide, however, are valid a little for all the router models that Vodafone provides and has provided in the past to its customers.

That said, before moving on to the actual action, going to explain how to enter the Vodafone Station, there are some preliminary operations that you have to do to make sure that everything goes the right way. What you have to do, to be precise, is to connect to the network generated by the router, otherwise you will not be able to put your hand to its settings, and locate the IP address associated with the Vodafone Station, through which you can then access the relevant control panel. check.

Log in to the Vodafone Station network

access the network of Vodafone Station via Ethernet, just insert one end of the special cable supplied with the router in one of the dedicated ports (those marked with yellow) on the back of the same and another end in one of the dedicated inputs on the PC (usually located on the back of the case or on the side) or in any case on the device you intend to use to access the router.

To connect via Wi-Fiinstead, make sure that the wireless network is active on the Vodafone Station, checking that thelight indicator next to the item WiFi present on the top of the modem (or sideways, depending on the model of Vodafone Station you are using) is lit and colored green. If the energy saving function is active on your Vodafone Station, pass your hand over it to be able to see the indicator light. If Wi-Fi is disabled, enable its use by pressing the button marked with a symbol Antenna that you find laterally. More details on how to connect to Wi-Fi are contained in my tutorial on the subject.

Find the IP address of the Vodafone Station

As for theidentification of the IP address, I inform you that this generally corresponds to http: //vodafone.station/ or to 192.168.1.1. In any case, you will find the information you need reported directly on a special page label stuck on the back of the router, as well as on the documentation supplied with the sales package.

If the coordinates I have provided are not correct or in any case if, as I have just indicated, you cannot find the IP address of the Vodafone Station, to obtain it you can proceed from a computer, as I have indicated below.

• If you use Windows, april il Command Prompt, facendo click sul Start button (I cheer with the windows flag) che trovi nella part in fund to sinistra della taskbartyping cmd in the displayed search field and selecting the relevant risultat. In the Prompt window that you see appearing on the desktop, type the command ipconfig, which allows you to know all the details about the network in use (including the local IP address of the router to which you are connected), and presses the button Submit present on the computer keyboard. Afterwards, check the output of the command and, next to the entry Default gateway, you should find the IP address of the Vodafone Station.
• It was used MacOS, click the icon of System Preference (Quella with the ruota d'ingranaggio) located on the Dock bar and, in the window you see appear on the desktop, select the icon Network. Next, select the network type you are connected to (Wi-Fi o Ethernet) from the left sidebar and press the button Advanced located at the bottom right. Then go to the tab TCP / IP and check what is written next to the item Router: that is the IP address of the Vodafone Station.

How to enter the Vodafone Station from a PC

After completing all the preliminary steps above, you are finally ready to enter the Vodafone Station. To succeed from PC, open the browser you usually use to surf the Internet (eg. Chrome), type theIP address of Vodafone Station in the address barat the top and press the button Submit on the keyboard.

Within a couple of seconds, you should see the main page of the Vodafone Station management panel appear, or, if you have set up a Password for access to the device (bravo, very wise choice!), a page with the request for credentials to log in. In this second case, enter the required access key and click on the button Log in.

After logging into the Vodafone Station, you can begin to explore the various sections of the router management panel, in order to go to the one you are interested in, depending on the operations you intend to perform.

To be precise, at the top of the page, you will find the menus to manage the connections, phone, the connection to Internet, Wi-Fi, the Message sharing, settings of the appliance and to access the section dedicated to status and support. At the top right, however, there is the menu to switch between mode base user to that experienced user (which allows you to put your hand to a greater number of options and configurations).

In any case, if this is the first time you access the control panel of the Vodafone Station or in any case if you have not already done so before, I suggest you to implement a couple of tips that will help you make it a little more secure your router.

• Change the password of the Wi-Fi network - in order to prevent any unwanted use by other users, I recommend that you change the default password of the Wi-Fi network (which is still quite strong). To do this, select the tab Wi-Fi, scroll down the page, enter the password you want to use for the wireless network in the field Wi-Fi Password and click sul pulsating Apply. If you have enabled SSID separation for Wi-Fi a 5GHz, remember to do the same for the network in question that you find by scrolling down the page.
• Set a password for accessing the router - another security measure that I recommend you to take is to set a password for access to the control panel of the Vodafone Station. Then select the card Settings and press pulsating Set password. Then type the password you want to use to access the router in the fields Password e Re-enter your password, type il tuo email address in the appropriate text field and press the button Confirmation.

For more details on configuring the settings in the Vodafone Station control panel, I invite you to refer to my guide specifically dedicated to the topic.

I tell you that this is feasible. To do this, just use theVodafone Station DSL / Fiber app for Android and iOS / iPadOS devices I told you about in the previous step.

To use it for the purpose in question, you must first make sure that the appropriate functionality is enabled. So, open the app when you are connected to the wireless network generated by your Vodafone Station, by tapping on the relevant one icon that you find on the home screen of Android or iOS / iPadOS, and press the button with thegear present at the top right.

In case of dubbi or problem

You have followed my directions in detail, but you have not yet been able to understand how to enter the Vodafone Station Revolution, in the Vodafone Power Station etc.? If so, you might want to try the reset of the router, in such a way as to reset it to factory settings (which will result in the loss of all preferences and configurations that you have customized) and see if so you can cope with it.

To do this, look for the key Reset which is located on the back of the device (it is a small, recessed black button) and hold it down for about 30 seconds using a sharp object, such as a pencil or pen.

If you still can't fix it despite resetting, there may be something wrong with your router specimen. My advice, therefore, is to carefully consult the support pages of the Vodafone site, try to put into practice what is written there and, if unsuccessful, contact the operator directly.

Therefore, connected to this section of the manager's website, select the Vodafone Station model in your possession from the menu Reason for assistance which is on the left, then the reference topic from the further menu Service details you see appear and follow the instructions given to you.

To contact the operator, however, use one of the many channels available for the customer care that you find indicated below.

• 190 - by contacting 190 and requesting the assistance of a real operator, you can point out the problems you have with your Vodafone Station and agree on the replacement of the device. The number is active 24 hours a day, but the technical assistance staff are only available from 24 to 08.00.
• Facebook - by connecting to the Vodafone Facebook page and clicking on the button to send a message, you can write to the operator and ask for an explanation about the malfunctions you encounter with your Vodafone Station. The technicians answer only from 08.00 to 22.00, but the account is always active.
• Twitter - by sending a private message to @VodafoneIT of Twitter, you can request assistance from Vodafone and receive explanations about the malfunctions of your Vodafone Station. In order to send a private message to Vodafone, you must first attract the operator's attention by posting a public tweet addressed to the manager's account and wait for the latter's response. Do not enter sensitive information in the public message, please, or everyone will be able to read it! The service is active from 08.00 to 22.00 (even in this case, the account is always operational, but the technicians respond only in the time slot in question).
• Vodafone shops - if you prefer, you can also go to a physical Vodafone store and ask for support there about the problems encountered on your Vodafone Station.
