Enabling Voice Control on Your Raxe300 Router
To enable voice control, you need to connect your router to your voice assistant platform via the router’s web interface or dedicated app. Follow these steps:
Accessing the Router Settings
Open a web browser and enter your router’s IP address, typically 192.168.1.1. Log in with your admin credentials. If you haven’t changed them, use the default username and password provided in the router manual.

Configure these commands in the voice assistant app or the router’s web interface to ensure they trigger the desired actions.

The router will respond and execute the commands, providing a hands-free way to manage your network efficiently.
