netAccel Wi-Fi Edition User Guide

No software installation or account login required.
Just follow the steps below to complete all setup.

1. Connect Ethernet, Power, and Scan QR Code

1. Unbox – You’ll find 4 items:

netAccel × 1
Ethernet cable × 1
Power cable × 1
Charger adapter × 1

Unboxing illustration (for reference only).

2. Connect Ethernet and power as shown

Insert one end of the Ethernet cable into the netAccel
Insert the other end into any LAN port on your home router or switch
Plug the power cable into the netAccel
Plug the charger into a wall outlet

Ethernet and power connection — Connect as shown (for reference only).

3. Wait 1–2 minutes for lights to stabilize

During boot, red + green lights will blink
A steady light indicates successful startup
If unsure, wait 2–3 extra minutes after the green light appears

Power and LED indicator — LED status (for reference only).

4. Scan the QR code on the netAccel

Use WeChat or your phone’s camera to scan the QR code
You’ll be redirected to a status page with key device info

QR scan example — Status page example—use your actual scanned data.

From this page, note these two critical pieces of information:

Device MAC: bead9d2a8a77
Local IP Address: 192.168.0.32

You’ll need these for device configuration.
We recommend taking a screenshot and photographing the QR code for future use.

2. Mobile Device (Android / iOS) Connection to netAccel Wi-Fi

Prerequisites

netAccel is powered and connected via Ethernet
You’ve scanned the QR code and obtained the local IP and MAC
The netAccel broadcasts a Wi-Fi network named: netAccel-XXXX
where XXXX = last 4 characters of the device MAC (uppercase if letters)
Wi-Fi password: DBP181-XX
where XX = 7th and 8th characters of the MAC (uppercase if letters)

1. Connect to Wi-Fi Network: netAccel-XXXX

Android

Go to Settings → Wi-Fi
Select netAccel-XXXX from the list
Enter the password as described above
Wait for “Connected” status

iOS

Go to Settings → Wi-Fi
Select netAccel-XXXX
Enter the password
A checkmark will appear when connected

Connect to NetAccel Wi-Fi — Connecting to netAccel-XXXX (for reference only).

3. netAccel Network Environment Learning (Recommended for First Use)

Brief Explanation:

How Pi-hole and Unbound eliminate network noise
The 13 DNS root servers identities
Why netAccel needs to “learn” in a new location

Read “Clean Web · Technical Principles” →

Assuming your netAccel is online with local IP (e.g., 192.168.31.101):

On any device connected to the same network, open a browser and go to:
http://192.168.31.101:9090/ui/ (use http, not https)

Enter URL http://192.168.31.101:9090 and password: DBP181000, then click “Add”:

Backend login — Login screen (for reference only).

Click the small globe icon:

Homepage (for reference only).

Then click “netAccel”:

Click (---) on each tile to view latency. Click a tile to select that node.
This manually triggers Pi-hole and Unbound to find a clean path to root DNS servers.
When complete, the status turns green:

Green = success — Learning complete (for reference only).

Your netAccel has now adapted to the new network environment.

4. Configure Proxy Settings on Mobile Devices

Now configure the proxy to route traffic through the netAccel.

Android

In Settings → Wi-Fi, long-press netAccel-XXXX
Select Modify network
Enable Advanced options
Set Proxy → Manual

iOS

Go to Settings → Wi-Fi
Tap the ⓘ next to netAccel-XXXX
Scroll to HTTP Proxy → Configure Proxy → Manual

Proxy config interface — Proxy settings screen (for reference only).

3. Enter Proxy Details

Android

Proxy hostname: enter the scanned local IP (e.g., 192.168.10.101)
Bypass proxy for: enter first three octets + * (e.g., 192.168.10.*)
Proxy port: 7890
Tap Save—device will reconnect

⚠️ Do not add spaces, any other characters, or prefixes like http://.

iOS

Server: enter the scanned local IP
Port: 7890
Tap Store to save

Proxy setup complete — Completed setup (for reference only).

5. Windows 10/11 Manual Configuration Guide

Prerequisites

netAccel is powered and online
You have the local IP from scanning
Your PC is connected to the netAccel-XXXX Wi-Fi network

1. Windows 10

Click network icon → connect to netAccel-XXXX
Or go to Settings → Network & Internet → Wi-Fi to connect

Windows 10 Wi-Fi connect — Connecting on Windows 10 (for reference only).

Open Settings → Network & Internet

Click Proxy on the left
Proceed to manual setup (see Windows 11 instructions below for full details)

2. Windows 11

Ensure you’re connected to netAccel-XXXX
Open Settings → Network & Internet
Click Proxy
Under “Manual proxy setup,” click Edit
Toggle Use a proxy server to On
Enter the scanned local IP as the address
In “Don’t use the proxy for,” enter: e.g., 192.168.10.*
Set Port to: 7890
Click Save

Windows 11 proxy configuration (for reference only).

After saving, your PC will route traffic through the netAccel.

🎉 Congratulations!

You’ve successfully set up your netAccel Wi-Fi Edition.
For daily use, simply connect to the netAccel-XXXX Wi-Fi network.

Notes:

1. To disable netAccel features, remove proxy/DNS settings from your device. The netAccel only affects devices you’ve configured—it won’t impact others.
2. During network learning (Step 3), choose nodes with lower latency values.
3. Please photograph the QR code on your netAccel for future reference.
4. Known limitation: If your upstream router requires individual device authentication (e.g., captive portal), using the netAccel Wi-Fi with proxy enabled may cause disconnections. In such cases, use the netAccel in bridge mode only. This limitation will be addressed in a future revision.
