  6. Logon to a device connected to your Wi-Fi and open your preferred internet browsers.

  7. Type this address into the browser, replacing <ip address> with the ip address you noted from the sky q box: http://<ip address>:13579/index.html, For example it should look similar to this: http://192.168.1.102:13579/index.html
