Setup

Follow these steps to set up your Safire SF-MIFI-4G-UPS router:

1. Insert SIM Card: Locate the SIM card slot (usually under a cover or battery). Insert your activated 4G SIM card into the slot, ensuring it is correctly oriented.
2. Connect Power: Connect the provided power adapter to the router's power input and then plug it into a wall outlet.
3. Power On: Press and hold the power button (location may vary, refer to device markings) until the indicator lights illuminate. Wait for the device to boot up and establish a 4G connection (indicated by a specific LED, typically blue or green).
4. Connect Devices (Wi-Fi): On your Wi-Fi enabled device (smartphone, laptop, etc.), search for available Wi-Fi networks. Select the network name (SSID) broadcast by your Safire router (e.g., "Safire_XXXX"). Enter the default Wi-Fi password (usually found on a sticker inside the battery compartment or on the device itself).
5. Connect Devices (Ethernet): For wired connections, connect an Ethernet cable from the router's RJ45 port to the Ethernet port on your computer or other network device.

Operating Instructions

Connecting to the Internet

• Wi-Fi Connection: Once powered on and connected to 4G, the router will broadcast its Wi-Fi network. Connect your devices using the SSID and password.
• Ethernet Connection: Devices connected via the RJ45 port will automatically obtain an IP address and access the internet once the router has an active 4G connection.

Accessing the Web Management Interface

To configure advanced settings, you can access the router's web management interface:

1. Ensure your device is connected to the router via Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
2. Open a web browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Edge).
3. In the address bar, type the default IP address of the router (commonly 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1) and press Enter. Refer to the device's label for the exact IP address.
4. Enter the default username and password (commonly admin/admin or admin/password). It is highly recommended to change the default password for security reasons.
5. From the interface, you can modify Wi-Fi name (SSID), password, network mode, and other advanced settings.
