6.1 Checking Signal Strength

To ensure your device is receiving adequate signal, check the signal strength:

1. Connect to Wi-Fi: Connect your device (e.g., smartphone) to the M6 hotspot's Wi-Fi network.
2. Access Web Interface: Open a web browser and enter 192.168.1.1 in the address bar. Log in using the default username and password (usually 'admin' for both, check device label if different).
3. Find Signal Strength: On the dashboard, locate the 'Signal Strength' indicator. It will display a value in dBm.

Signal Strength Guide:

• Strong Signal: -50 to -70 dBm
• Medium Signal: -71 to -85 dBm
• Weak Signal: -86 to -100 dBm
• No Signal: < -100 dBm

Note: If the signal is weak or non-existent, move to an area with better network coverage. Poor local signal may prevent the product from registering on the network.
