Activating your AIRAVE Account
Your base station should already be activated at
the time of purchase. If, after installation, you find
that it is not activated, please call Sprint Customer
Service at
1-866-556-7310.
Should you need to activate your base station, you
will be asked to provide the following information:
• Primary Wireless Phone Number
(Account number)
• Account Password
• MAC ID of the specific base station found on the
sticker affixed to the device.
Note: An available Ethernet port is required to
connect the AIRAVE. If your broadband modem
does not have an available port, you will need a
router that supports VPN to connect your base
station. Most routers support this functionality.
However, if you are unsure of your router’s
capabilities, refer to your router’s manual.
For additional details about AIRAVE, including
troubleshooting tips, please see the
User Guide
packaged with your base station, or see
“For More Information” in this guide.
Attention: After installing and turning on your
base station for the first time, it will go through
an automated setup sequence. During this time,
the unit’s LEDs will change color. When all LEDs
have changed to steady blue (stopped blinking),
your device is ready to use.
This process may
take up to one hour. For additional details
about AIRAVE, including troubleshooting tips,
please see the
User Guide packaged with your
base station, or see “For More Information” in
this guide.

Connect one end of the included Ethernet cable to an
available port on your router (or similar device).
Connect the other end to the WAN port located at the
rear of the base station.
Place the base station near a closed window and in a
central location. For best results, place the base station
in an elevated location, such as the top of a bookshelf
or tall cabinet.
