To reset the router to the default settings, press the RESET button for more than two seconds. Warning: this will over-ride all your previous settings.
Troubleshooting All the status lights are flashing, except for the POWER light: This shows that the router is performing an upgrade or reset. Make sure you don’t turn the router off until the process has finished and the lights stop flashing, otherwise this can damage the router.
Can’t access the web interface: Make sure the router is turned on, and network (Ethernet) cable is connected properly to your computer. Make sure that the IP address of your computer is entered correctly.
Status light error modes: The SIM card isn’t recognised. Check that it has been inserted correctly. The PIN number hasn’t been entered, or has been entered incorrectly. The router isn’t able to access the wireless network. If your phone doesn’t get a Vodafone signal there, relocate the router to somewhere that does. Otherwise please call customer services.
