## Instructions

### <mark style="background-color:blue;">Step 1: Create/Login to your Uplink account.</mark>&#x20;

Click on the <mark style="background-color:blue;">“</mark><mark style="background-color:blue;">**Plan your coverage**</mark><mark style="background-color:blue;">”</mark> button on the left-hand side of the screen or “<mark style="background-color:blue;">**Login**</mark>” and “<mark style="background-color:blue;">**Register**</mark>” in the upper right-hand corner.

You can register under your email address or using your Google account. After completing that step, you'll need to verify your email.

### <mark style="background-color:blue;">Step 2: Plan Your Coverage on Uplink.</mark>

Click on the “<mark style="background-color:blue;">**Plan your coverage**</mark>” to add your router to the “pre-registered router” part of the coverage map and fill in your router's details. Required fields (\*): Router name, type of venue, indoor/outdoor. Click “<mark style="background-color:blue;">**Next**</mark>” once you’ve completed the form.

Enabling sharing of your device’s location is the quickest way to find your router's exact location (longitude/latitude).&#x20;

Other options: You can enter an address or drag your pin’s location to the correct location on the map. Please ensure you’ve entered the correct location of your routers! With the Uplink App, you can then register your router’s location to earn daily points.

*Any router that is located incorrectly will eventually be deleted from the map, along with any Uplink points associated with its pre-registration.*&#x20;

Once submitted, click “<mark style="background-color:blue;">**Register**</mark>” and you’re all set!&#x20;

> **Note**: Routers placed at incorrect locations will eventually be removed from the map. Always verify your pin placement.

What’s next? Head over to the [Portal](/get-started/portal.md) or [Uplink App](/get-started/uplink-app.md) to register your router, enjoy free internet access on all Uplink verified networks (coming soon!) and tell your friends about the Uplink ecosystem!
