Wait for 45 minutes
Wait at least 45 minutes after plugging your Hotspot to the power outlet. Just let it
sit there and grab a coffee or tea in the meanwhile. This is needed to give your hotspot
some breathing time to fully boot up, start the syncing process and download any
updates that were released while it was on the way to you.
While you wait, you can dive in deeper into the official Helium Docs to learn and
understand how the network works, how your earnings work and many more.
Onboard your hotspot
Now that you waited for 45 minutes, it is finally time to link your Helium Wallet with
the Hotspot. This process is called "onboarding". During onboarding, you will link your
wallet with the hotspot and you will set the location, height and antenna settings.
Step 1: Visit Diagnostics Dashboard
Next, find out the IP address of your hotspot in your network and enter it in your
browser.
Hint: The IP Address can be found in your internet router dashboard. Most of the times,
there is a sticker on the back of your internet router. There, you will see a login IP or login
domain, a username and password. Use these credentials to login into your internet
router dashboard (enter the IP in the browser, as you would do with a website). Then, try
to find a list of connected devices and see if you can find a device called
"controllinohotspot". The IP address for "controllinohotspot" is the one that you need
to login into the Diagnostics Dashboard.
Now you have entered the dashboard. If this is your first time, you will need to set a
password.
