Zain Mobile Hotspot
Why can’t I connect a device to the hotspot?
If you are experiencing problems connecting to the hotspot, try the following suggestions:
Turn off your device and take the battery out, wait 10 seconds, put the battery back in,
and turn your device on.
Restart your computer.
Turn off or temporarily disable any security programs or firewalls.
If possible, try using another computer or Wi-Fi device to connect to your hotspot. If you
can, then the problem is with the device that cannot connect, not the hotspot.
Why can’t I access the Internet?
If you are connected to the hotspot but cannot connect to the Internet, try the following
suggestions:
Check the display status on the touchscreen.
Make sure that network coverage is available in your area.
Make sure that your micro SIM card is active and enabled with data services.
Wait one to two minutes for the hotspot to initialize.
Confirm that your account is activated and that no other Internet connections are active.
Switch your hotspot off and on and restart your computer or Wi-Fi device.
Check to see if you can access www.zain.com. If you can access www.zain.com but you
cannot access other non-Zain websites, you might need to top up or recharge your
pre-paid SIM card.
Why isn’t my battery charging?
If you are in a low-coverage area, are transferring a lot of data, or left the hotspot in a hot
location, the internal temperature of the hotspot can rise above 45°C. In these conditions, the
battery cannot be charged due to safety limits with lithium-ion battery technology.
Check to ensure that the USB cable and the AC wall charger are connected securely and are
working correctly.
Why is the signal indicator always low?
Your hotspot has poor reception. Try moving it to a location with a clear view of the sky (for
example, near a window).

Zain Mobile Hotspot
Why is the download or upload speed slow?
Data transfer speed depends on signal strength and interfering radio sources like electrical
generators or other hotspot Wi-Fi devices. Review the following possibilities:
Check your signal strength and network type (for example, LTE 4G is generally faster
than 3G).
Check Wi-Fi interference by powering the hotspot off and on to find a better Wi-Fi
channel.
Switch Wi-Fi channel from 2.4 GHz to 5 GHz.
If Zain network signal is low, consider using external antennas or cradle the hotspot with
built-in high gain antennas.
How do I go back to the hotspot web page?
To view the hotspot web page:
1.
From a computer or wireless device that is connected to your network, launch an
Internet browser.
2.
Enter
http://hotspot.zain
or
.
A login screen displays.
3.
Enter the administrator login password.
The default password is
admin
. The password is case-sensitive.
What do I do if I forget my admin login password?
The default admin login password is
admin
, and the hotspot web page URL is
http://hotspot.zain or http://192.168.1.1.
If you changed the admin login password and can’t remember the password that you created,
you must set the hotspot back to factory defaults.
