Maintenance

• Solar Panel Cleaning: Regularly clean the solar panel surface to ensure maximum sunlight absorption and charging efficiency. Use a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris.
• Connection Check: Periodically inspect all cable connections (antennas, USB power) to ensure they are secure and free from damage.
• Battery Care: While the 20800mAh battery is designed for outdoor use, avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures (very hot or very cold) to maximize its lifespan.
• Firmware Updates: Check the manufacturer's website or the router's WEB interface for any available firmware updates to ensure optimal performance and security.

Troubleshooting

No Internet Connection

• Check SIM Card: Ensure the SIM card is correctly inserted and activated with a data plan. The blue indicator light should be flashing.
• Signal Strength: Verify 4G signal strength via the WEB interface. If the signal is weak, try repositioning the router or antennas.
• APN Settings: Confirm that the Access Point Name (APN) settings in the router's WEB interface match your mobile carrier's requirements.

Router Not Powering On / Low Battery

• Power Switch: Ensure the power switch is in the 'On' position.
• Solar Charging: Confirm the solar panel is clean and receiving direct sunlight. The blue light should flash during solar charging.
• USB Charging: If solar charging is insufficient, connect the router to a 5V 2A USB power source using a USB cable.
• Red Light: If the red light is on, the battery is low and requires charging.

Slow WiFi Speeds

• 4G Signal: Weak 4G signal will result in slower internet speeds. Improve signal as described above.
• Device Load: Too many devices connected simultaneously (up to 8 supported) can impact performance.
• Interference: Ensure the router is not placed near other electronic devices that might cause WiFi interference.

Cannot Access WEB Interface

• Network Connection: Ensure your device is connected to the router's WiFi or via Ethernet.
• IP Address: Double-check the router's IP address in your browser.
• Default Password: Confirm you are using the correct default password (admin). If changed, use the new password. If forgotten, a factory reset might be necessary (refer to the reset button on the device diagram).
