With the unit fully powered up i.e. connect power and wait >1 minute for it to boot up, using the supplied SIM removal clip or some other blunt pointed object, gently press and hold the small Reset Switch on the front face of the unit, for at least 5 seconds as detailed below for the Factory Reset function….
The reset button has two functions:
- Reboot the device. If the reset button is pressed for up to 4 seconds, the device will reboot. Start of the reboot will be indicated by the flashing of all 5 signal strength LEDs together with the green connection status LED.
- Factory reset. If the reset button is pressed for at least 5 seconds (by default), the device will perform a factory reset and reboot. Signal strength LEDs indicate the elapsed time while holding the reset button. When all 5 LEDs light up, it indicates that 5 seconds have passed and the reset button can be released. Start of the factory reset will be indicated by flashing of all 5 signal strength LEDs 5 together with a red connection status LED.
After the unit has been reset, all of the settings will be back to as they were when it left our factory.
The 4GXtream is a powerful device with lots of functionality and unless you are an experienced IT Engineer, then the only configuration changes that we would recommend are…
- Manually set the APN settings if the automatic default settings have not successfully connected the 4GXtream to the internet
- Set the Wireless Network Name and Wireless Password to values of your choosing so that only the people you want to connect to the 4GXtream can connect to it
