Step 2: Connect to Power and Network

Connect the dongle to your computer or a mobile phone adapter. Wait 30-45 seconds for it to fully power on.

You can then connect your mobile phone, laptop, or tablet to the dongle's WiFi. The default network name (SSID) is typically 4G-UFI-XXXX, and the default password is 1234567890.

Step 3: Add APN (If Needed)

If you cannot access the internet, your SIM card might not have a pre-configured APN.

To add an APN:

Prepare a laptop and connect it to the dongle's WiFi network.
Open a web browser and navigate to 192.168.100.1. This address is displayed within a browser interface element.
Select English as the language using the [Language Selector] dropdown.
Enter the password: admin and click the [Login Button].

A configuration interface will appear. You will need to enter the APN information specific to your SIM card provider.

Buttons for [New Entry Button], [Delete Entry Button], 'Upgrade', [Set as Default Button], [Modify Settings Button], and [Show Password Button] are present.

Example for China Telecom:

Enter the APN details provided by China Telecom (e.g., APN: ctwap) and click the [Modify Settings Button] or [Set as Default Button] to set it as the primary APN for successful internet access.

Navigate to the 'WLAN-AP Settings' section.
Find the 'SSID' and 'Password' fields.
Enter your desired SSID and WiFi password.
Click the [Modify Settings Button] to save changes.

Step 5: Use as a 4G USB Dongle

The 4G WiFi dongle can also function as a standard 4G USB dongle when connected directly to a desktop PC.

Connect the 4G dongle via USB cable to your desktop PC and wait approximately 30 seconds. The necessary drivers should install automatically, granting your PC internet access.

Step 6: Other Functions and Mobile GUI Access

The dongle offers various functions accessible through its web interface, including Status monitoring, Router settings, Upgrade options, System password management, and Factory reset.

To access the graphical user interface (GUI) on your mobile phone:

Connect your mobile phone to the dongle's WiFi network.
Open a web browser and go to 192.168.100.1.
Select English using the [Language Selector] and enter the password: Admin-Login.

You can then view and manage the dongle's settings through the mobile-friendly GUI.
