5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Connecting Devices via WiFi

1. Once powered on, the router will broadcast a WiFi network.
2. On your device (smartphone, laptop, tablet), search for available WiFi networks.
3. Select the network name (SSID) corresponding to your EC25 router. The default SSID and password are usually printed on a sticker on the router.
4. Enter the WiFi password when prompted.
5. Your device should now be connected to the internet via the router's 4G connection.

The router supports up to 32 devices simultaneously with a wireless speed of 300Mbps on the 2.4 GHz frequency band. Unobstructed coverage can reach up to 20 meters.

5.2. Connecting Devices via LAN

For devices that do not support WiFi or require a wired connection, use an Ethernet cable:

1. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to one of the LAN ports on the EC25 router (refer to Figure 4).
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the network port of your device (e.g., desktop computer, printer, surveillance camera).
3. The device will obtain an IP address from the router and gain internet access.

5.3. Portability and Usage Scenarios

The compact design of the EC25 router allows for easy portability and use in various environments:

• In the Car: Power the router via a car USB charger (ensure 5V/1A output) to provide WiFi for passengers.
• Outdoor Use: Ideal for camping, picnics, or remote work where traditional internet is unavailable.
• Home/Office: A reliable backup internet solution or primary internet in areas with good 4G coverage.

6. Maintenance

6.1. Factory Reset

If you encounter persistent issues or forget your router's settings, you can perform a factory reset:

1. With the router powered on, locate the RST (Reset) button (refer to Figure 4).
2. Using a paperclip or a thin pointed object, press and hold the RST button for approximately 3 seconds.
3. Release the button. The router will restart, and all settings will be restored to their factory defaults.

6.2. Environmental Conditions

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your router, operate it within the specified temperature ranges:

• Operating Temperature: -10°C to 50°C (14°F to 122°F)
• Storage Temperature: -40°C to 70°C (-40°F to 158°F)

Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, or high humidity.

7. Troubleshooting

7.1. No Internet Connection

• Check SIM Card: Ensure the Micro SIM card is correctly inserted and active with a data plan.
• Signal Strength: Verify that the router is in an area with good 4G LTE signal coverage.
• Power: Confirm the router is properly powered on and receiving adequate power (5V/1A or above).
• Restart: Try restarting the router by unplugging and re-plugging the power cord.
• Factory Reset: If issues persist, perform a factory reset (see Section 6.1).

7.2. Slow WiFi Speed

• Device Count: Too many devices (over 32) connected simultaneously can reduce speed.
• Distance/Obstructions: Move closer to the router and ensure there are no major obstructions (walls, large appliances) between your device and the router.
• Interference: Other 2.4 GHz devices (cordless phones, microwaves) can cause interference. Try changing the WiFi channel in the router's settings if possible.
• 4G Signal: Ensure the underlying 4G signal is strong and stable.

7.3. Cannot Connect to WiFi Network

• Correct Password: Double-check that you are entering the correct WiFi password.
• Router On: Ensure the router is powered on and broadcasting its WiFi network.
• Device WiFi: Verify that WiFi is enabled on your connecting device.

8. Specifications

9. User Tips

• SIM Card Compatibility: Before purchasing a SIM card, verify that your mobile carrier's frequency bands are compatible with the EC25 router's supported bands (FDD LTE: B1/B3/B7/B8/B20/B28, TDD LTE: B38/B40/B41, WCDMA: B1/B8). This is crucial for ensuring network connectivity.
• WPS Functionality: The EC25 router does not explicitly list WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) as a supported feature in its specifications. If you require WPS for quick device pairing, please note this router may not offer it.
• Power Adapter: While the router uses a Type-C interface, ensure your power adapter provides at least 5V/1A output for stable operation.
• Optimal Placement: For best WiFi coverage and signal strength, place the router in a central location, away from large metal objects or other electronic devices that might cause interference.
