Troubleshooting

What can I do if I cannot log in to the web management page?

1. Check whether the B315's power indicator is steady. If not, power on the B315.
2. Check whether the connection between the client and B315 is working properly.

• If the client is connected to the B315 using a network cable, check whether the LAN/WAN indicator is steady or blinking.
•  If the client is connected to the B315 through Wi-Fi, go to the Wi-Fi connection page to check the connection status.

3. Check that the client is set to automatically obtain an IP address and DNS server address.

What can I do if the B315 cannot access the internet?
1. Check whether the B315's power indicator is steady. If not, power on the B315.

2. Go to the B315's web management page to check the network status.

• If no SIM card is detected, power off the B315 and disconnect the power adapter, reinstall the SIM card and try again.
• If PIN code is not verified, enter the PIN code as required, and try again.
• If no network is available, move the B315 to an appropriate place, such as beside the window, to get better signal, and try again.
• If the dial-up connection failed, make sure the APN and account information are correctly set, and try again.

3. If the problem persists, please contact us.

Why am I unable to access Wi-Fi on a client?

• Check whether the B315's indicator is steady. If not, go to the B315's web management page to enable the Wi-Fi function.
• Check whether the client is within the range of the B315. If not, adjust the placement of the B315.
• Check whether the Wi-Fi password is correct. Note that the Wi-Fi password is case sensitive. The default password is printed on the label at the bottom of the B315. To change the password, go to the web management page.
• Check whether your client's network adapter supports 802.11b/g/n. If not, the client cannot connect to the B315.
• If the problem persists, restart your B315 or restore it to its factory settings. Note that restoring your B315 will erase all your customized settings.
