Here’s how to set up your AmpliFi router on the Pentanet network, let's go!

Before you begin

You'll need to know what technology type your Pentanet service uses as the steps vary between technology type. You'll also need to know your Pentanet PPPoE authentication username and password. 

You can find all this information in your Customer Portal under the Services > Settings section, or just reach out to our friendly team who can assist if you're unsure.

Lastly, to manage most settings in your Amplifi, you’ll need to install the AmpliFi app on your mobile device. If you haven’t already done so, tap the link below to install the app for your device:

    4. Once you have completed the setup wizard you should be taken to the AmpliFi home page. You may need to connect your phone back up to the AmpliFi using the Wi-Fi name and password you just set a moment ago in the setup wizard. You can now move onto the Configuring your AmpliFi part of this guide.

    1. Open the AmpliFi app and tap on the AmpliFi device to begin managing it.
