3. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up your Vikye Portable WiFi Hotspot M5 E:

1. Insert SIM Card: Locate the SIM card slot on the device. Carefully insert a Micro SIM card into the slot until it clicks into place. Ensure the SIM card is activated by your service provider before insertion.
2. Disable SIM PIN (if necessary): If your SIM card has a PIN code enabled, you may need to disable it using a mobile phone before inserting it into the router. The router may not be plug-and-play with a PIN-protected SIM.
3. Power On: Press and hold the power switch (usually located on the front or side) for a few seconds until the indicator lights illuminate.
4. Initial Configuration (APN Settings): In some cases, you may need to manually configure the Access Point Name (APN) settings. To do this, connect a device (e.g., laptop, smartphone) to the router's default Wi-Fi network (SSID and password usually found on a sticker inside the SIM card compartment or on the device itself). Open a web browser and enter the router's IP address (e.g., 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1) to access the administration interface. Navigate to the network settings to update the APN according to your service provider's specifications.

2. Enter Password: Input the Wi-Fi password (Key) provided on the device's label or in the administration interface.
