Congratulations for your purchase of a GoodIP Dongle! Setting up a dongle is very easy and should take less than one minute.
Plug the dongle in a power source. You can use a USB power outlet. You can also plug the dongle in the back of a router - routers usually have USB ports in the rear. During setup, it can be convenient to simply plug the dongle in your laptop.

The USB connector only provides power to the dongle. There is no data transiting on the USB port, just power. This is why it can be plugged in a power outlet via a standard USB adapter.
