Once that was shut off too, the install proceeded fine. After doing this I was getting an error saying I had no subscription, which turned out to be a sub DHCP menu that was still activated. In my case my router was not supported so I had to manually log into the router and disable the DHCP server.
#BITDEFENDER BOX 3 UPDATE#
After the update is complete, the BOX will attempt to change the setting on your existing router. Next I was alerted to a firmware update, which was updated with the click of a button. Then the app tells you to connect the Ethernet cable. The next step is to connect the micro USB cable to power up the BOX. The BOX can also be used as a stand alone WiFi router with its DHCP server, but it only supports 802.11 b/g/n and range is likely to be minimal with its lack of external antennas. In my case I opted to install it in the Bitdefender preferred method which utilizes your current WiFi router but uses the BOX for the DHCP server function. Then the app will walk you through the install process. Once you open the app, you either sign into your existing Bitdefender account or create a new one. The first step in the installation is to download the Bitdefender Box app which is available for IOS and Android. The images below were taken from the Google Play store and are intended to show that the app is laid out rather nicely and is quite informative.

Normally this section would be full of screen captures, but the Bitdefender app blocked all applications on my phone that I tried to use to get images from within the Bitdefender app.
