HUAWEI B593 4G LTE Router Installation--Quick guide to get online with 4G router

1) You should start by inserting the SIM card and then plug the power adapter to the B593

4G router. SIM card must be inserted on the right side when looking at the front of the

router. You can see how the SIM card slot in the LTE CPE B593. Power plug must be

inserted behind the router.

2) Now you need to connect the router to your computer via wireless network (WiFi). You

will find the router's name and network code on the sticker behind the router.

WLAN - Name (SSID) is the router's name and WLAN - Key (WPA/WPA2) is the router's

wireless network password. When you first connect the router via WiFi, it would be

necessary to enter the WLAN key and get connected.

If you experience problems connecting to the router with the information on the back of

the router, this information may be changed. Press reset on the side of the router with a

ball pen for about 20 seconds and try again.

3) Once connected, open your Internet browser (eg Internet Explorer, chrome or Safari)

and in the address bar, type the router's address http://192.168.1.1 . It’s the device

website on the label.

The default language is English, but you can choose your preferred language. Username

is admin and password admin in lowercase. You can also find both the router's address and

password on the sticker behind the router.

4) The router will ask you to change the password when you login. You can ignore it. Your

router is already secured with the unique network code that you entered earlier in order

to connect to the router.

5) Now select Setup Wizard in the left menu.

You must validate your PIN to the SIM card. You will find PIN 1 on the frame, you took the

SIM card out of the scrape area. Then click Validate. Tick the Enable next to Save my

PIN and press Next.

Please note that the router stores the PIN code for the SIM card. Put a new SIM card in the

router at a time; enter the PIN code for the new SIM card in the same way.

But if you use unlocked B593 Router, it’s unnecessary to do this. 4GLTEMALL.com is selling

the unlocked B593 Router.

6) You do not need to change anything in the next section called Internet.

Network mode is by default to Auto and Connection Mode to Always On. Please note that

“LTE Only" means "4G Only" and "WCDMA only" means "3G only" in Network mode. You can

try to isolate the signal to one of them if you wish. If you set it in Auto as recommended,

the router will always try to use 4G as a primary connection. Press Next.

7) You do not need to change anything in the next section called WLAN .

If you want to call your router something other than WLAN1-xxxx , it's SSID , you need to

change. We do not recommend that you do, and then you will always be able to find the

router's name on the back of the router if you do not change it. Press Next.

8) We do not recommend that you change the following in the next point WLAN

Security. Network code field is WPA with pre-shared key. This code is already unique and

you should only use it once when you connect to the router for the first time on your

computer or your mobile. You will also be able to find the network code on the back of the

router if you ever need it again later.

If you want to change it anyway, you must enter a code on minimum 8 characters and

press Next. Otherwise, press the Next without changing the information below.

9) Now press Submit and your router will reboot and you will be on the internet.

10) Repeat point 2 for all devices to connect with the Internet.
