Selecting the Installation Environment

Obstacles such as concrete and wooden walls will affect the transmission of the

network signal. It is recommended that when you install devices you choose an open

space and ensure thatthere are no obstructions between the computer and the

finished, press the power button to turn on the device.

The connection cable illustration is for reference only.

When the device is in use, you can alter its position or orientation to improve signal

reception. If the device is in use, you may change its location or position to achieve

better signal strength and speed. For better coverage, place the 4G router as close

to window as possible or move your device closer to the router for improved speed.

If several users are connected simultaneously, the speed may be reduced. Wait

until fewer users are connected before downloading large files. The signal strength

light indicates the received signal strength.
