Troubleshooting

• No Internet Connection:
  • Check if the SIM card is correctly inserted and activated.

  • Reboot the router by unplugging and re-plugging the power adapter.
• Slow Internet Speed:
  • Check the 4G LTE signal strength. A weak signal will result in slower speeds.
  • Ensure there are no too many devices connected to the Wi-Fi network simultaneously.
  • Minimize interference from other electronic devices.
  • Consider upgrading to higher gain external antennas if signal is consistently poor.
• Wi-Fi Connection Issues:
  • Ensure the Wi-Fi LED indicator is on.
  • Verify you are using the correct Wi-Fi password.
  • Try restarting both the router and your Wi-Fi device.
  • Check Wi-Fi settings in the web interface.
• Router Not Responding (Hard Reset):
  • If the router is unresponsive, use a paperclip or pin to press and hold the reset button on the rear panel for about 10 seconds. This will restore the router to factory default settings. Warning: All custom configurations will be lost.
