FAQs

How do I restore factory settings?
When the router is turned on, press the Reset button for approximately 3 seconds using a pointed object until the power indicator starts to blink. Restoring factory settings will restore the settings to the default. You can reconfigure them after the router is restored.

What should I do if I forgot the Wi-Fi password or the login password for the web-based management page?
Restore the router to its factory settings and then use the default Wi-Fi password and login password to try again.

What should I do if the network status indicator is red or an Internet connection cannot be established?
1 Check if the SIM card is inserted. Refer to the Setup section for the right size of SIM card and the right way to insert it into the slot.
2 If the issue persists, restore the router to factory settings and try again.
3 Contact your carrier to check if your SIM card is out of service. If it’s a new card, check if it has been activated.

What should I do if the Internet speed is slow?
1 Check the signal strength indicator on the router. If it shows weak signal, adjust the router’s direction or move it close to a window to improve signal reception.
2 If your device is connected to the router over Wi-Fi, adjust your device’s position to receive better signal.
