3.1 Internet Connectivity

Once configured, the router will automatically connect to the 4G network. The signal indicator light on the front panel will show the strength of the cellular signal.

• Green/Blue: Strong signal.
• Orange: Weak signal.
• Red: No signal or SIM card error.

3.2 Wi-Fi Network Usage

The router broadcasts a dual-band Wi-Fi network. You can connect up to 64 devices simultaneously.

• Connecting Devices: Use the Wi-Fi SSID and password found on the router's label or configured in the web interface.
• Band Steering: The router supports band steering, which automatically directs devices to the optimal Wi-Fi band (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz) for better performance.
• Guest Wi-Fi: You can enable a separate guest Wi-Fi network through the web interface for temporary access without sharing your main network password.

3.3 Ethernet Port Usage

The router features four Gigabit Ethernet ports. Three are LAN ports, and one can function as either a LAN or WAN port.

• LAN Ports: Connect wired devices such as computers, smart TVs, or gaming consoles for stable, high-speed internet access.
• LAN/WAN Port: This port can be used to connect the router to an existing wired broadband connection (e.g., fiber modem) if you wish to use the router primarily as a Wi-Fi access point or backup.

3.4 RJ11 Phone Port

The RJ11 port allows you to connect a standard analog telephone to make and receive calls using the inserted SIM card's phone number. Alternatively, you can configure a VoIP SIP account through the router's web interface for internet-based calls.

4. Maintenance

4.1 Firmware Updates

Regularly check for and install firmware updates through the router's web interface. Firmware updates can improve performance, add new features, and enhance security.

4.2 Cleaning

Keep the router clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.

4.3 Optimal Placement

For best Wi-Fi signal and 4G reception, place the router in a central location, away from obstructions, large metal objects, and other electronic devices that may cause interference.

5. Troubleshooting

5.1 No Internet Connection

• Check SIM Card: Ensure the nano-SIM card is correctly inserted and activated. Verify that the SIM card has an active data plan.
• SIM PIN: If your SIM card requires a PIN, ensure it has been entered correctly via the router's web interface. An incorrect PIN will prevent network access.
• APN Settings: Confirm that the Access Point Name (APN) settings are correctly configured for your mobile network operator. These settings are crucial for establishing a data connection.
• Signal Strength: Check the signal indicator light. If it's red or orange, try relocating the router to an area with better 4G coverage. Consider using external antennas if signal is consistently weak.
• Reboot: Power off the router, wait 10 seconds, and then power it back on.

5.2 Wi-Fi Connectivity Issues

• Incorrect Password: Verify you are using the correct Wi-Fi password (Key).
• Signal Range: Ensure your device is within the Wi-Fi range of the router.
• Interference: Move the router away from other electronic devices (cordless phones, microwaves) that might cause interference.
• Too Many Devices: If many devices are connected, some might experience slower speeds or disconnections.

5.3 Unable to Access Web Interface

• IP Address: Double-check the router's IP address (e.g., 192.168.8.1).
• Network Connection: Ensure your device is connected to the router via Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
• Browser Cache: Clear your web browser's cache and cookies, or try a different browser.
