8. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter.
-
No Power:
Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the device and a working electrical outlet. Verify the power outlet is functional.
-
No Internet Connection (Ethernet WAN):
Check the Ethernet cable connection between the firewall's WAN port and your modem/internet source. Verify that your modem is operational and receiving an internet signal. Check WAN configuration in the management interface.
-
No Internet Connection (LTE):
Ensure the SIM card is correctly inserted and active. Check LTE antenna connections. Verify LTE signal strength and connection status in the management interface. Contact your mobile network provider if the SIM card or service is suspected to be the issue.
-
Cannot Access Management Interface:
Verify your computer is connected to a LAN port of the firewall. Ensure your computer's IP settings are set to obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP). Try clearing your browser's cache or using a different browser. If the IP address was changed, use the new address. If all else fails, a factory reset might be necessary (refer to the Quick Start Guide for reset procedure).
