Only alphanumeric characters or space characters are allowed. If you forget the WiFi password, you can go back to page 5 and refer to the function button to restore factory settings.
- If the wifi of the external router cannot be cconnected, the hotspot will start after a delay of 25 seconds. It can also be customized.
- Check the independent mode to disable the router’s WiFi connection and allow data to be received through its own hotspot. Usually, we use it as a switch to disconnect the router’s WiFi and use its own hotspot to connect with other devices.
Turn off the power and then turn it back on for the changes to take effect.
