LED Indicators:
The router features several LED indicators on the front panel. These LEDs provide status information for power, Wi-Fi, 4G/LTE signal strength, and LAN activity. Refer to the quick installation guide for a detailed explanation of each LED's status.

4. Maintenance
- Regular Cleaning: Keep the router clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
- Optimal Placement: Place the router in an open area, away from obstructions and other electronic devices that may cause interference, to ensure optimal Wi-Fi signal strength.
- Firmware Updates: Periodically check the Mercusys official website for firmware updates. Updating the firmware can improve performance, add new features, and enhance security. Follow the instructions provided with the firmware update carefully.
- Resetting the Router: If you encounter persistent issues, you may need to reset the router to its factory default settings. Locate the 'WPS/Reset' button on the back of the router. With the router powered on, press and hold this button for approximately 5-10 seconds until the LEDs flash, then release. The router will restart with factory settings.
5. Troubleshooting
No Internet Access:
- Check the 4G/LTE LED: If it's off or red, ensure the SIM card is correctly inserted and active. Verify your mobile data plan.
- Check Signal Strength: If the 4G/LTE LED indicates low signal, try repositioning the router or connecting external antennas (if available and supported by your model).
- Restart Router: Power off the router, wait 10 seconds, then power it back on.
Wi-Fi Not Working:
- Check Wi-Fi LED: Ensure the Wi-Fi LED is on. If not, press the Wi-Fi button (if present) or check settings via the Mercusys app/web interface.
- Verify Password: Ensure you are entering the correct Wi-Fi password.
- Device Connectivity: Try connecting another device to the Wi-Fi network to determine if the issue is with the router or the specific device.
Slow Internet Speed:
- Check 4G/LTE Signal: A weak 4G/LTE signal can lead to slower speeds.
- Reduce Connected Devices: Too many devices simultaneously using the network can impact performance.
- Interference: Move the router away from other electronic devices or large metal objects.
