Troubleshooting
What if…
… the router does not power On? | Verify your power source, try another wall plug.
Please check if the power plugs are plugged in tightly. Toggle the witch Off and On again. Wait 3 mins after it turns On. |
… the WAN light is Orange? (When using a physical hardline.) | The device is not getting an Internet connection, make sure the hardline is plugged into the router’s WAN port. Ask your venue:
1) if the venue’s hardline has a splash screen, your venue then requires the routers MAC address, it can be found on the bottom of the router. 2) Verify with the venue that the hardline’s protocol (IP) is set to DHCP and NOT static. |
… either the embedded or removable modem lights is Red? (When using Mobile Internet) | No connection to the Mobile Internet Provider. This modem requires connection to outside cellphone towers, first make sure the antennas are properly installed then try changing the angles of the antennas. Lastly, try moving the modem closer to
the outside as possible within the venue. |
… wrong/incorrect password. | Please verify Caps Lock is off on the device you are connecting from. Use the password provided in the Important Documents
Folder. |
… the 2.4G light is OFF? | Your unit is pre-set to work only on the 5.0GHz wireless connection. |
