Introduction

The SKYBOXE® 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA)
The router provides high-performance internet access via your wireless carrier – like AT&T or T-Mobile – rather than from a traditional wire-based internet service provider.

Insert SIM Card

To ensure that no damage is done to the router or to the SIM card, make sure the router is unplugged from a power source before you insert or remove a SIM card. Once the unit is powered down, pressing gently on the installed SIM card will eject the card from the device.
Insert your SIM card into the device as shown here.
Please note that the router accepts only nano-sized SIM cards.

Setting Up Your Router’s Hardware

• Connect the supplied power adapter to the router. Plug the adapter into an unswitched electrical outlet. Make sure your SIM card is properly installed.
• Connect your computer or a network switch to one of the two LAN ports using the supplied ethernet cable. Alternatively, you can connect other devices wirelessly using Wi-Fi.
• To obtain a better radio signal, you can adjust the router’s location and direction. Often a windowsill or external wall is a good location. Refer to the signal strength LED indicators to determine whether the router is receiving a strong signal.

Connecting a Device via Wi-Fi

• Via your device’s Wi-Fi settings screen, select one of the two SKYBOX wireless networks, either SKYB_24G_NNNNNA or SKYB_5G_NNNNNA.
• Input the default password, which is SKYBNNNNNA.
• We recommend that you change the default password for both the 2.4Ghz and 5.0 GHz wireless networks. See step 9.

Configuring Your Router’s Software

• With your computer or mobile device connected to the router via wired or wireless (see step 5), launch your web browser (Chrome, Safari, Edge, etc.) to access the web management page to configure your router. Input http://192.168.1.1 in the address bar and press Enter.
  Note: When you log in to the web management page, you will see an unsafe notice next to the URL bar. This behavior is normal and can be ignored.

• Enter the username and password, then click Login. The default username and password are both admins.

• Once the password is verified, you will be taken to the web management page.

Change Your Router’s Password

To ensure data security, it is highly recommended that you change your router’s default Wi-Fi password when you log in to the configuration tool for the first time.

• From within the management website, select Advanced Settings → System → Account.
• Input the current password and your new desired password, then click the Save button.

Configuring Wi-Fi

• From within the management website, select Advanced Settings → Wi-Fi → WLAN Settings.
• In the General Settings list, set Wi-Fi to enable, or enable Wi-Fi by pressing the Wi-Fi button.
• In the Configuration list, change the SSID to any name you desire, such as SKYBOX-5G. You can also select any password to secure your network.
• Click the Submit button to save your settings.

Save Your Configuration Settings

• From within the management website, select Advanced Settings → System → Maintenance.
• Under Backup Configuration File, click the Download button, then save the file in a location where you can access it later.
• To restore your settings, under Restore Configuration File, select your backup file using the Select File button, then click the Upload button.

Troubleshooting

Make sure the proper power cable is connected properly and compatible with the router.
Failure to log in to the web management page.
Make sure the router is turned on and correctly connected to the computer via Wi-Fi or network cable.

The router’s power adapter has overheated.
Ensure that the router is properly ventilated and shielded from direct sunlight.
Previously set settings are restored to default values.
If the router is powered off unexpectedly while being configured, the parameters may reset to their default settings. Download and save the configuration file to quickly restore your router to the desired settings.
