Setting up your 5G Nokia Gateway Router
Get your Wi-Fi on in a few minutes following the below steps
Your SIM is already installed. Plug in your router, wait for the status light, then connect your devices using the Wi-Fi name and key printed on the bottom label.
1. Download the Nokia WiFi app
Search for Nokia WiFi on the App Store or Google Play and install the free app.
2. Choose the right spot
Place your router near a window, higher up if possible, with few obstructions and a power socket nearby.
3. Power on
Connect the power adapter and press the power button. The router may take a few minutes to find signal.
4. Check the status light
Green or yellow means you are connected. Red means weak signal - move it higher or closer to a window.
5. Pair the app with your router
Open the Nokia WiFi app and scan the QR code on the bottom of the router from inside the app.
6. Connect your devices
Use the Wi-Fi name and Wi-Fi key printed on the bottom label. You can rename these in the app later.
Quick checks
· If the status light is red, move the router higher or closer to a window and restart it.
· The QR code only works inside the Nokia WiFi app. Scanning it with your phone camera will not complete setup.
· Once the light is green or yellow, try not to move or rotate the router, as this can affect signal.

Setting Up Your Huawei 5G Router
Here's how to get connected once it arrives:
Video guide:
1.Unbox the Device:
Take the router out of the box. You should have the router, power adapter, and any included cables. The SIM card is already pre-inserted.
2.Find a Good Spot:
Place the router in an open area, like on a table or shelf, away from walls or metal objects for the best signal.
3.Plug in the Power Adapter:
Connect the power adapter to the router’s power port, then plug it into a wall socket.
4.Turn It On:
Press the on/off button on the back and wait a moment. Look for lights to blink and turn solid, indicating it’s working.
5.Locate the Wi-Fi Details:
Flip the router over. On the bottom, find the “Wireless Password/PIN.” This is your Wi-Fi key.
6.Connect to Wi-Fi:
On your device, go to Wi-Fi settings. Look for the network name (SSID). The SSID starts with Imagine. Select it, then type in the “Wireless Password/PIN” exactly as shown.
7.Wait for Connection:
Give it a few seconds to connect. You should see a Wi-Fi signal or a “connected” message on your device.
8.Test Your Connection:
Open a web browser or app to confirm your internet is working. If it doesn’t work, double-check the password or restart the router by unplugging it for 10 seconds, then plugging it back in or try a new spot. If you’ve followed these steps and still experience no internet or slow speeds, try moving your router to a different location.
