3. Operating the Hotspot

3.1. Connecting Devices via Wi-Fi

Once your Orbic Speed hotspot is powered on and has established a cellular connection, you can connect your Wi-Fi enabled devices (laptops, tablets, smartphones, etc.) to it.

1. On your device, open the Wi-Fi settings.
2. Scan for available Wi-Fi networks.
3. Select the network name (SSID) displayed on your Orbic Speed's screen.
4. Enter the Wi-Fi password (Key) also displayed on the hotspot's screen.
5. Your device should now be connected to the internet through the hotspot.

The Orbic Speed supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi bands. You can switch between these or configure them via the web administration interface.

3.2. Accessing the Web Administration Interface

For advanced settings, network monitoring, and configuration, you can access the Orbic Speed's web administration interface from a connected device.

1. Ensure your device is connected to the Orbic Speed's Wi-Fi network.
2. Open a web browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Edge).
3. In the address bar, type the default IP address for the hotspot (commonly 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1, refer to your device's display or packaging for the exact address).
4. Enter the administrator username and password when prompted. Default credentials are often "admin" for both, but it is highly recommended to change these for security.

From the web interface, you can manage Wi-Fi settings, view connected devices, monitor data usage, change passwords, and configure other network parameters.

4. Maintenance

4.1. Battery Care

To maximize the lifespan of your device's battery:

• Avoid extreme temperatures.

• If storing the device for a long time, charge it to about 50% before storage.
• The battery is designed for easy replacement. Should replacement be necessary, the back casing can be snapped off to access the battery without tools.
