1. Power on¶

For GL-MiFi with built-in battery, press the power button to turn on the device.

You can also plug the Micro USB power cable into the power port of the router to power on the device. That will also charge the built-in battery.

Make sure you are using a standard 5V/2A power adapter. Otherwise it may cause malfunction.

Note: Hot plugging for SIM card and TF card is not supported. If you want to use, please insert before powering on the router.

Open a web browser (we recommend Chrome, firefox) and visit http://192.168.8.1. You will be directed to the initial setup of the web Admin Panel.

1) Language Setting¶

You need to choose the display language of the Admin Panel. Currently, our routers support English, 简体中文, 繁體中文, Deutsch, Français, Español, Italiano 日本語, 한국어 and Русский.

Note: If your browser always redirects to LuCI (http://192.168.8.1/cgi-bin/luci), you can visit: http://192.168.8.1/index instead of http://192.168.8.1.

2) Admin Password Setting¶

There is no default password for the Admin Panel. You have to set your own password, which must be at least 5 characters. Then, click Submit to proceed.

Note: This password is for this web Admin Panel and the embedded Linux system. It will not change your Wi-Fi password.

3) Admin Panel¶

After the initial setup, you will enter the web Admin Panel of the router. It allows you to check the status and manage the settings of the router.
