4. Setup Guide

4.1 Physical Installation

1. Attach Antennas: Carefully screw the four external antennas onto the corresponding connectors on the back of the router. Ensure they are securely fastened but do not overtighten.
2. Insert SIM Card: Locate the SIM card slot, usually on the side or bottom of the router. Insert your activated 4G/5G SIM card into the slot with the metal contacts facing down and the notched corner oriented correctly. Push until it clicks into place.
3. Connect Power: Connect the provided power adapter to the router's power input port and then plug the adapter into a standard electrical outlet. The router will power on automatically.
4. (Optional) Connect LAN Devices: If you have wired devices (e.g., desktop computer, gaming console), connect one end of the provided LAN cable to an Ethernet port on the router and the other end to your device's Ethernet port.

4.2 Initial Configuration

After physical installation, configure the router for internet access:

1. Connect to Wi-Fi: On your computer or smartphone, search for available Wi-Fi networks. Connect to the network named "QUANTRON_XXXX" (where XXXX are the last four digits of the router's MAC address or a default name). The default Wi-Fi password is typically printed on a sticker on the bottom of the router.
2. Access Web Interface: Open a web browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox) and enter the router's default IP address in the address bar. Common default IP addresses are 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1. Refer to the sticker on your router for the exact IP address and default login credentials (username and password).
3. Login: Enter the default username and password when prompted. It is highly recommended to change these default credentials immediately after your first login for security purposes.
4. Configure Internet Settings: Navigate to the WAN or Internet settings section. The router should automatically detect the 4G/5G network settings from your SIM card. If not, you may need to manually enter the APN (Access Point Name) provided by your mobile network operator.
5. Customize Wi-Fi Settings: Go to the Wireless or Wi-Fi settings to change the Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password to something memorable and secure. Save your changes.

The router features several LED indicators to show its status:

• WAN Status LED: Indicates the status of the internet connection (e.g., solid green for connected, blinking for data activity, red for no connection).

5.4 SIM Lock Support

The QUANTRON QWR-4G01 supports SIM lock functionality, which can restrict the router to operate only with a specific SIM card or network. This feature enhances security and can be configured through the router's web management interface.
