Troubleshooting
Overview
The following tips can help solve many common problems encountered while using
your Mobile Hotspot, A50.
First Steps
- Make sure you are using your A50 in the correct geographic region (within coverage of your service provider).
- Ensure that your wireless coverage extends to your current location by using the interactive Wireless Carrier’s coverage map tool.
- Ensure that you have an active service plan.
- Restarting your computer and your A50 can resolve many issues.
IMPORTANT! Before contacting customer care, be sure to restart both your A50 and any host devices that are currently connected to your A50.
Common Problems and Solutions
A50 is just powered off without pressing the Power/Menu button. Why?
This may occur under battery depletion or overheating from excessive usage for
a long time.
To restore power, manually press and hold the power button to turn on your
A50. If the battery is depleted, charge the battery with the AC charger
provided.
IMPORTANT! If the power button will not start your A50, please open the
battery cover, take out the battery and re-install the battery after 5
seconds. Put the battery cover back and turn on the A50 by pressing the power
button.
How do I perform Factory Reset?
Using Web Admin Home page: Connect to your A50 and then open Web Admin home
page (http://mobile.hotspot). Select Settings > Device > Backup and Restore
and Click Factory Reset.
Using Mobile Hotspot Device Menu: Select Settings on the device display, then
go to Factory Reset menu. Select OK to perform Factory Reset.
Using the Factory Reset Button on the device: Remove the battery cover. Make
sure the battery is installed and your A50 is powered on. Press down the reset
button for 3 seconds and release. Then, your A50 will perform the reset and
restart automatically.
I cannot connect to Wi-Fi after changing Wi-Fi password.
Your Wi-Fi devices save the previously used Wi-Fi names associated with the
passwords used to access the Wi-Fi name. When you change the Wi-Fi password
only for your A50 and keep the same Wi-Fi Name, the devices try to connect to
your A50 using the Wi-Fi name and previous Wi-Fi password saved, causing Wi-Fi
authentication error. Perform “forget” first on the Wi-Fi name from your host
devices.
I cannot access the Web Admin,http://192.168.10.1
Ensure that Wi-Fi connection is enabled on your device and that you have
selected the correct Wi-Fi name (SSID) for your A50 connection. Also, make
certain that you are entering the correct full URL address as
http://192.168.10.1 or http://mobile.hotspot.
If you changed the LAN IP settings from the Web Admin, Settings > Advanced
Router > LAN Settings before, you need to use the IP address you changed to
access the Web Admin page.
I cannot log into Web Admin, http://mobile.hotspot
Ensure that you are entering the correct Web Admin password to log in. The
default Web Admin login password is “admin” unless you have previously
changed. If you have forgotten your password, perform Factory Rest on your
device (see How do I perform Factory Reset?).
