4G Router Setup Guide

What you need before you start

• A SIM card from Jazz, Zong, Ufone, or Telenor with an active data bundle. Every router in this catalog is factory unlocked, so any of the four works.
• A wall socket near where the router will sit. Only the Jazz C061-100 and Zong 4G K12 in this catalog run on battery for a few hours; every other model needs mains power the whole time.
• The WiFi name and password printed on the router's back label, for connecting the first time.

The general setup sequence

1. 011

   Open the SIM tray or cover on the back of the router and insert your SIM card the way the tray diagram shows.

2. 022

   Connect the included power adapter and switch the router on.

3. 033

   Wait for the signal or network LED on the front panel to turn solid. This usually takes under a minute.

4. 044

   Connect your devices to the WiFi name and password printed on the back label, or wire one in over Ethernet if the router has a port.

5. 055

   Open the router's dashboard if you want to change the WiFi password or check signal strength. The address is printed on the label, commonly 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.8.1 depending on the model.

If the signal light doesn't turn on

• Move the router closer to a window or higher up. Signal strength depends on where it physically sits, not just that it's plugged in.
• Confirm the SIM itself has an active data bundle from your network operator. This is something only the operator controls, not the router.
• In a genuinely weak-signal area, a router with an external antenna port paired with an antenna helps more than repositioning alone. See our weak-signal guide for the full decision path.
