5G INDOOR ROUTER FX3100 USER GUIDE

Port Forwarding tab
Port Forwarding allows specific applications to be forwarded to a particular device connected to your network. Normally, the built-in firewall blocks incoming traffic from the internet. Port forwarding allows internet users to access any server you are running on your computer, such as a web, FTP, or Email server.
Important: Port forwarding creates a security risk and should not be turned on unless it is required.
NOTE: To configure Port Forwarding, you need a static IP address assigned to your line of service. Contact your service provider to set up a line of service for static IP.
Some mobile networks provide you with an IP address on their own network rather than an internet IP address. In this case, Port Forwarding cannot be used, because internet users cannot reach your IP address.

NOTE: When IP Passthrough is turned on, port forwarding capabilities are set through the connected host routing system. Settings on this page are not available. Go to Advanced > LAN to turn IP Passthrough off.
Port Forwarding Configuration
Port forwarding: To turn on port forwarding, move the ON/OFF slider to ON. To turn off port forwarding, so that no inbound traffic is forwarded to a LAN client, move the slider to OFF.

5G INDOOR ROUTER FX3100 USER GUIDE

Overview
When properly installed, the FX3100 is a highly reliable product. The following tips can help solve many common problems encountered while using the FX3100:
· Make sure you are using the FX3100 in the correct geographic region. · Ensure that your wireless coverage extends to your current location. · If you do not receive a strong data signal, move the device to a different location. · Ensure that you have an active subscription plan. · You can resolve many issues by restarting your connected device and your FX3100.
Troubleshooting
This section can help solve many common problems and answer questions encountered while using the FX3100.
Will I always get 5G? Can I use the FX3100 outside of 5G coverage?
While this router is marketed as a 5G indoor router, it supports both 5G and 4G and connects to the strongest signal available. Check your service provider’s coverage map to see what type of signal you can expect.
The FX3100 LED is switching from blue to green and sometimes dropping service
Reason: In rare cases when the device is near the edge of 5G coverage and frequently switching from 4G to 5G coverage, it may temporarily drop service.
Solution: If this is an ongoing issue, go to Settings > Advanced > Cellular and change Network Technology to 4G LTE/UMTS.
Can I set my FX3100 to use a specific band?
No, the FX3100 is designed to connect to the strongest signal available. You can set the network technology and 5G network mode using Settings > Advanced > Cellular.
I cannot access the Admin web UI
Reason: You are on the guest network. The web UI is not accessible from the guest Wi-Fi network by design.
Solution: Connect to the primary network, by USB or Ethernet.

5G INDOOR ROUTER FX3100 USER GUIDE

The FX3100 LED is blinking red
Reason: The status LED blinks red when there is a SIM error, no service, or in rare cases, the SIM card is locked.
· Solutions: Try the following: Turn off the FX3100, then remove and reinsert the SIM card. Do not touch the gold-colored contacts. Make sure the card is inserted with the contacts facing down, notch facing in, and that it clicks into place. Restart your FX3100. Ask your service provider: o Is your SIM active and on a plan compatible with the FX3100. o Are there any service outages in your area. Perform a factory reset. Log in to the Admin web UI and check the following: o On the Home page, check the SIM status. If the SIM card is properly inserted and the device is not recognizing the SIM, the SIM slot may be defective. Contact your service provider to replace the device. o On the Home page, check that the APN is correct. o In the top banner of any page, check the signal strength. If you see, “No service”, the device cannot see any towers, or is in a hung state. If you know you are in range, try removing the SIM and rebooting the device with a SIM from a different service provider. The SIM does NOT need to be active. Reinsert the original SIM and restart the device. This prompts the device to reload modem configuration details and should resolve the hung state. If this does not work or another SIM is not available, contact your service provider to replace the device. o On Settings > SIM, check for a locked SIM.
My older device cannot connect
If you can see other networks, but not the network name for your FX3100:
Reason: The default multi-mode settings on your FX3100 work for most Wi-Fi clients, however, some older devices require that you set one of the Wi-Fi bands to support older BGN standards.
Solution: Set your 2.4 GHz band to 802.11 bgn:
1. Access the FX3100 Admin web UI and navigate to Wi-Fi > Settings. Under 2.4 GHz Band Settings, use the drop-down to change the 802.11 mode to 802.11 bgn. NOTE: This allows older devices to connect on the 2.4 GHz band but leaves the 5 GHz band in multi-mode to allow newer devices the fastest available connection.
2. Click Save Changes. Your FX3100 will reboot, and the network name should be visible on all devices.

5G INDOOR ROUTER FX3100 USER GUIDE

If you can see the network name, but cannot connect a device to your FX3100:
Reason: The default network security settings on your FX3100 work for most Wi-Fi clients, however, some older devices may not have access.
Solution: Contact your service provider for assistance. If you are entering the correct password and still unable to connect, change the network security setting to WPA/WPA2 Mixed Mode:
1. Access the FX3100 Admin web UI and navigate to Wi-Fi > Primary Network. In the Security drop-down, select WPA/WPA2 Mixed Mode.
2. Click Save Changes and Confirm. Your FX3100 will reboot, and all devices should be able to connect.
if the solutions above do not resolve the issue, try the following:
Reason: Some Wi-Fi devices cannot properly store special characters or long passwords.
Solution: Change your Wi-Fi password.
1. Access the FX3100 Admin web UI and navigate to Wi-Fi > Primary Network, or Wi-Fi > Guest Network, depending on the network to which you are trying to connect. Change the Wi-Fi password to between 8 and 16 characters, using only numbers, uppercase letters, and lowercase letters.
2. Click Save Changes and Confirm. Your FX3100 will reboot, and all devices should be able to connect.
Reason: In rare cases, a Wi-Fi device may have issues with the same SSID being used on both 5GHz and 2.4 GHz bands.
Solution: Disable the 5 GHz band.
1. Access the FX3100 Admin web UI and navigate to Wi-Fi > Settings. Uncheck 5 GHz and use only 2.4 GHz.
2. Click Save Changes. Your FX3100 will reboot, and your device should be able to connect.

5G INDOOR ROUTER FX3100 USER GUIDE

My FX3100 is “Waiting for Connection” on the Inseego Mobile app
Reason: The registration request is still processing. Solution: Restart the device. This allows the device to check in and process the registration request.
Reason: You entered an incorrect password for the device or changed the Admin password before Inseego Connect fully processed the registration request. · Solution: From the Inseego Mobile app or Inseego Connect, delete the device from the Device List and add it again using the current Admin password. If you have already logged into the device’s Admin web UI and changed the Admin password, use the new password. If you have not changed the Admin password, the default is printed on the bottom of the device.
Restart the device. This allows the device to check in and process the registration request.
My FX3100 is getting slow speeds/low throughput
Reason: Signal strength and quality are the most likely cause of slow speeds/low throughput. NOTE: The FX3100 is configured by default to use the best connection available, so low throughput is rarely related to configuration. Solution: Check the signal strength and quality reported by your FX3100: 1. Access the FX3100 Admin web UI and navigate to About > Diagnostics to check the values for Signal Strength (RSRP) and SNR. 2. If the signal is poor, relocate your FX3100 to improve signal conditions. If the signal is good, but throughput is slow, check your service provider’s network conditions for outages and expected performance.

5G INDOOR ROUTER FX3100 USER GUIDE

My connecting device is not obtaining a valid IP address
There are several possible reasons your connecting device is not obtaining a valid IP address:
Reason: IPPT is enabled, and you have connected a second device to your FX3100 without restarting. When IP Passthrough (IPPT) is enabled, only the first device detected can obtain the IP address assigned by the mobile network.
Solution: When IPPT is enabled, any time you switch the device you are connecting to the FX3100, you must first disconnect the existing connected device and power cycle the FX3100before connecting the new device.
Reason: The DHCP server has been turned off. If IPPT is not enabled, the DHCP server provides IP addresses. If the DHCP server is turned off, no IP addresses can be provided.
Solutions: Reset your FX3100 to factory settings, see “Resetting your FX3100″ on page 16. or Use Inseego Mobile LAN settings to turn the DHCP server on.
Reason: The DHCP server has used all its IP addresses. This is unlikely to happen with the FX3100, but if you have connected a succession of devices to your FX3100 in a short period of time, you may have used up all the IP address available.
Solution: Disconnect your connected device and power cycle the FX3100 before reconnecting a device.
Reason: There is an issue with your FX3100.
Solution: Contact your service provider for assistance.
I cannot get streaming platforms to work with my FX3100
Reason: Some service provider plans include content filtering that prevents streaming over the internet connection.
Solution: Contact your service provider for assistance.

5G INDOOR ROUTER FX3100 USER GUIDE

Do I need a signal amplifier or booster?
Inseego does not recommend or support the use of cellular signal amplifiers or boosters.
Cellular signal amplifiers/boosters typically work by receiving and re-transmitting specific frequencies. This can increase the amount of signal noise, which has a negative effect on connectivity. In addition, when specific frequencies are targeted, other frequencies can be effectively filtered or blocked. If not all your needed bands are supported, you may experience a worse connection.
Does the USB port support RNDIS?
You can use the USB port on the back of your FX3100 to provide a network connection via Remote Network Driver Interface Specification (RNDIS). Most major operating systems support RNDIS. There are no device-specific drivers for the USB port, so any drivers needed are related to the PC operating system.
Does the USB port support USB-C to Ethernet adapters?
The USB port does not support USB-C to Ethernet adapters. If you require additional Ethernet ports, Inseego recommends using an Ethernet switch connected to the Ethernet port.

Safety hazards
Do not operate the FX3100 in an environment that might be susceptible to radio interference resulting in danger, specifically: Areas where prohibited by the law Follow any special rules and regulations and obey all signs and notices. Always turn off the host device when instructed to do so, or when you suspect that it might cause interference or danger.
Where explosive atmospheres might be present Do not operate your device in any area where a potentially explosive atmosphere might exist. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Be aware and comply with all signs and instructions. Users are advised not to operate the device while at a refueling point or service station. Users are reminded to observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution areas), chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly marked. Potential locations can include gas stations, below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane), areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders, and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Near medical and life support equipment Do not operate your device in any area where medical equipment, life support equipment, or near any equipment that might be susceptible to any form of radio interference. In such areas, the host communications device must be turned off. The device can transmit signals that could interfere with this equipment.
On an aircraft, either on the ground or airborne In addition to FAA requirements, many airline regulations state that you must suspend wireless operations before boarding an airplane. Please ensure that the modem is turned off prior to boarding aircraft in order to comply with these regulations. The modem can transmit signals that could interfere with various onboard systems and controls.
While operating a vehicle The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate a wireless data device while in control of a vehicle. Doing so will detract from the driver or operator’s control and operation of that vehicle. In some countries, operating such communications devices while in control of a vehicle is an offense.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Electrical and electronic devices are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Macintosh native connection software might attempt to reinitialize the device should a substantial electrostatic discharge reset the device. If the software is not operational after an ESD occurrence, then restart your computer.

Glossary
· 4G LTE –Fourth Generation Long Term Evolution. LTE is a standard for wireless data communications technology and an evolution of the GSM/UMTS standards. The goal of LTE is to increase the capacity and speed of wireless data networks using new DSP (digital signal processing) techniques and modulations that were developed around the turn of the millennium. A further goal is the redesign and simplification of the network architecture to an IPbased system with significantly reduced transfer latency compared to the 3G architecture. The LTE wireless interface is incompatible with 2G and 3G networks, so that it must be operated on a separate wireless spectrum
· 5G–Fifth Generation. The successor to 4GLTE technology, offering greater bandwidth and higher download speeds. In addition to serving cellular networks, 5G networks can be used as internet service providers, competing with other ISPs. 5G also opens up new IoT and M2M possibilities. Wireless devices must be 5G enabled to use 5G networks.
