Access to Internet

ER805 supports three ways of accessing the Internet: wired, cellular and Wi- Fi. When ER805 does not access to Internet via cellular, please disable the “dial-up interface”, otherwise the device will restart after trying dial up and fail for several times.

Wired to Internet

Step 1: Connect power and Ethernet cable to ER805, connect WAN port to public network, and one of LAN to PC.
Step 2: Configure PC to be in the same network segment as the IP address of the router.
(1) Enable PC to obtain an IP address from DHCP automatically (recommended).
(2) Configure a fixed IP address in the same network segment as the router for PC. The IP address should be one of the address in 192.168.2.2~192.168.2.254, Subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0, and Default gateway should be 192.168.2.1. DNS server should be 8.8.8.8 or the address of ISP’s DNS server.

Step 3: Access to the default IP address 192.168.2.1 in a browser, enter username and password (adm/123456 by default) and then access to router’s WEB management page. If the browser alarms the connection is not private, show advanced, and proceed to access to the address.

Step 4: Create a WAN port in “Internet” in the left menu. ER805 wiill enable WAN1 as DHCP mode by default. It will connect to Internet is the upstream device also works in DHCP mode.

There are two methods to obtain IP address: Dynamic DHCP (recommend) and Static IP (save after configure manually).

Step 5: Check the connectivity in “System >> Tools >> Ping”.

SIM Card Dialup

Step 1: Insert the SIM card when device is power off. Connect 4 4G/5G antennas to the router, and connect PC to router. Then power on.
Note:
When insert or plug out SIM card, please unplug the power cable to prevent data loss or damage the router.
Step 2: Open a browser and access to router’s WEB management page. (refer to 4.1)
Step 3: Click “Internet”, click Edit button in the right of Cellular to set dialup profile. The device enables the cellular by default, it will connect to Internet within a few minntes. If the device cannot connect to Internet, please disable and restart dialup. (If you use a private network SIM card, you also need to configure APN parameter)

Step 4: Check the dialup status in “Dashboard >> Interface Status”, if it shows green in Cellular icon, the router has connected to Internet by SIM card. Click Cellular icon to get check more dialup information like signal strength, IP address or DNS.

Wi-Fi to Internet

Step 1: Connect Wi-Fi antenna, and connect PC to the device. Access to router’s WEB management page. (refer to 4.1)
Step 2: Choose the frequent band of Wi-Fi. ER805 supports 2.4G and 5G Wi-Fi. These two Wi-Fi can work independently at the same time. 2.4G Wi-Fi has higher penetration while 5G Wi-Fi has higher transmission speed. You can check Wi-Fi status in “Wi-Fi” of the left menu.

Step 3: Set Station Role in “Wi-Fi 2.4G” or “Wi-Fi 5G”: AP or Client.
AP mode (default mode): ER805 acts as an accsess point to radiate wireless signals, and other terminal devices can connect this device to access the Internet. It is necessary to ensure that ER805 itself has been connected to the Internet through wired or dialup mode. AP mode supports setting
SSID name and encryption authentication mode, and terminal devices will need to input password when connecting.

Client mode: ER805 connects to other AP Wi-Fi device to access the Internet. Click Add button in “Internet” page, select “Wi-Fi(STA)” and then configure other parameters.

Note: Modifying the configuration of the internet interface or adjusting the priority may cause the device network to be interrupted!
