Setting Up Router

  1. Make sure that you have the correct SIM card to hand (a nano-SIM), then open the SIM card cover.
  2. Insert the SIM card gently into the SIM card slot until it clicks. Then close the SIM card cover.
  3. Connect the power adapter to the router. The indicators will turn on when the router has successfully connected to a network.
    • Green: strong signal
    • Yellow: moderate signal
    • Red: weak signal
  4. Once the router has connected to a mobile data network, you can connect your computer or mobile phone to the router's Wi-Fi network to access the Internet. Please refer to the label on the bottom of the router for the default Wi-Fi network name (Wi-Fi Name) and password (Wi-Fi Password).
  5. When the Wi-Fi indicator is steady on, Wi-Fi is enabled. To enable or disable Wi-Fi, refer to the router's web-based management page.
  6. If you accidentally pressed the H button and the Wi-Fi indicator starts to flash, wait for it to stop flashing. This may take about two minutes.

If you are having issues with any of the above, please refer to the Quick Start Guide that came in the box with the router.

There are two potential reasons why this may be happening:

  1. The Intel wireless network adapter is incompatible with the 802.11ax. It is recommended that the Intel wireless network adapter driver be upgraded to the latest version. You can connect the CPE to the wireless network adapter through a network cable to update the wireless network adapter driver. Click here for more info.
  2. Connect the mobile phone or PC to the CPE. On the advanced configuration page of the WebUI, 192.168.8.1 and go to advance set the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi mode to b/g/n and the 5 GHz Wi-Fi mode to a/n/ac. Such configuration will cause Wi-Fi performance deterioration. You are advised to use solution 1 to rectify the fault and then roll back solution 2.
