  • Solid amber: A 5G connection is available with an avoidant signal
  • Solid red or orange: 5G connection is available with weak signal
    1. Directional LED lights
  • There are five LEDs around the center of the top that light up for about 25 seconds when the device turns on. The LED that stays on indicates the direction from which the strongest 5G signal is coming.
  • Please note that 5G coverage is currently only available in limited areas, but we are expanding the network at a rapid pace. You can check the coverage areas of the 5G network on our website.

 

The directional LED light allows you to place the device in the best position for 5G coverage. When the device is turned on for the first time, check in which direction the LED is lit. If there is a window in the direction of the light and you can connect the appliance to the mains, unplug the appliance and move it. Turn the device back on and check the light. You may need to do targeting more than once to find the best location.

(If the direct link doesn’t work, type https://192.168.1.254 in the address bar.) The browser may not recognize the page as secure, so you’ll need to open the page with a separate option (Advanced, etc.) that varies by browser.
