Manually Connecting GL Router to Cellular Network

Manually Connecting GL Router to Cellular Network

Occasionally, your router may disconnect from the cellular network. When this happens, you may see an error displayed on your computer, tablet or phone saying "Connected, No Internet", or similar. You can check your routers connection to the cellular network by logging into the admin control panel while connected to wifi (an internet connection is not required to reach the admin control panel of the router). Follow this guide to manually reconnect your router to the cellular network:

  1. Using your computer or mobile device, connect to your mifi or router's wireless network. If using a phone, you MUST first switch airplane mode on, then turn your wifi back on, and connect to the mifi, or routers wireless network. Please ignore all messages of "No Internet" - You do NOT have internet yet, you are setting that up now. 
  2. Open a browser and navigate to the mifi or router’s administration page located at: http://192.168.8.1
  3. Enter your administrator password, or create one if this is the first time logging in. The default password is: goodlife1  ... If you have changed the password, please use the password you set. 
  4. Once the administration homepage loads, you’ll see a box labeled 3G/4G Modem, and should also contain the carrier name.
  5. Your screen should look like Figure 1 below.
  6. For quick setup, you can press the ‘auto-setup’ button, and within 3-5 minutes, the gray indicator dot next to the carrier name will turn green, and your mifi or router will be connected to the LTE network, and ready for use. See Figure 2 for a successful connection. 
    1. If you see a red "Disconnect" button, press that and wait a moment for the same button to change from "Disconnect" to "Auto Setup". 
    2. If you see a red "Abort" button, press that and wait a moment for the same button to change from "Disconnect" to "Auto Setup".
