Login and Configuration
Accessing the Web Interface
- Open your internet browser and type
http://192.168.1.1into the URL field. - When prompted for authentication, use the default login information (refer to the device information label or documentation).
- Upon first login, you will be required to change your password for security reasons. The new password must contain at least 8 characters, including at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, and one digit. This step is mandatory.
- After changing the password, the Configuration Wizard will start, guiding you through the setup of the router's main operating parameters.
- Navigate to the 'Overview' page and pay attention to the 'Signal Strength' indication. To maximize cellular performance, try adjusting the antennas or changing the device's location to achieve the best signal conditions.
Example Login Screen (Image A): Shows fields for username and password, with a 'Login' button. Default username is typically 'admin', and a default password may be provided.
Example Mobile Status (Image B): Displays connection details such as 'Data connection state' (e.g., Connected), 'State' (e.g., Registered; OPERATOR; 4G (LTE)), 'SIM card slot in use' (e.g., Ready), and 'Bytes received/sent'.
