4: Frequently Asked Questions

This chapter provides answers to questions you may have about your

Hotspot. (Also see

Troubleshooting

on page 65.)

Why can’t I connect a device to the

Hotspot?

If you are having an issue 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 LCD.

•

Make sure you have network coverage in your area.

•

Check your SIM card is active and enabled with data services.

•

Please wait 1–2 minutes for the hotspot to initialize.

•

Confirm that your account is activated and that no other Internet

connections are active.

•

Try switching your Hotspot off and on, and restarting your computer

or Wi-Fi device.

My battery has not charged while in

use and connected to the charger

If you are in a low-coverage area, have been 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 Li-ion battery technology.

Note:

The Hotspot will not charge while it is boosting another device.

The signal indicator is 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).

The download or upload speeds are very

slow

The speed depends on signal strength. Check your signal strength and network type.

How do I go back to the Homepage (web

interface)?

Open your browser and type in the homepage URL (or (for Telstra) http://

192.168.1.1) or (for BigPond) http://10.0.0.138), then log in using the admin login.

If you have changed the URL, you can find it in the LCD’s About screen (

Settings >

More > About

).

What do I do if I forget my Main or Guest

Wi-Fi Password

The Wi-Fi Password appears:

•

On the LCD’s:

·

Homescreen, unless you have configured it not to show

·

Main Wi-Fi screen —

Wi-Fi > Main Wi-Fi

·

Guest Wi-Fi screen —

Wi-Fi > Wi-Fi Profiles > Edit

(beside Enable Guest Wi-Fi

option).



If you are using a custom profile, this option is not available.

•

On the Homepage (

Wi-Fi > Connect

)

What do I do if I forget my Admin Login or

the Homepage URL?

The default Admin Login is

admin

, and the Homepage URL is displayed in the LCD’s

About screen (

Settings > More > About

).

If you changed the Admin Login and have forgotten it, you must set the Hotspot back

to factory defaults. On the LCD homescreen, tap

Settings > Reset

.
