6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your UOTEK 5G CPE Router, refer to the following common solutions:

• No Internet Connection:
  • Ensure the SIM card is correctly inserted and active.

  • Verify APN settings in the web interface if using a phone SIM card.
  • Confirm your cellular plan has active data.
  • Try restarting the router.
• Slow Internet Speed:
  • Check your cellular signal strength (indicated by the 5G/4G lights). Weak signal can lead to slow speeds.
  • Ensure the router is placed in an optimal location for cellular reception.
  • Reduce the number of connected devices or bandwidth-intensive activities.
  • Update router firmware to the latest version.
• Wi-Fi Disconnection/Weak Signal:
  • Relocate the router to a central position, away from obstacles and interference sources (e.g., microwaves, cordless phones).
  • Adjust Wi-Fi channels in the web interface to avoid congestion.
  • Ensure your device is within the router's Wi-Fi range.
• Cannot Access Web Interface:
  • Verify your device is connected to the router's Wi-Fi or via an Ethernet cable.
  • Ensure you are using the correct IP address and login credentials.
  • Clear your browser's cache or try a different browser.
  • Perform a factory reset (use a pin to press the reset button for 5-10 seconds) if you forgot the password, but note this will erase all custom settings.
