Zte MC801A User manual

How to enter APN settings into your new ZTE MC801A Router:
1) Place your Sim Card into your device & plug your device into the mains.
Note: Please be sure to use the correct Sim card size for this device, which is a Nano-Sized Sim.
This is not the middle-sized sim (Micro), nor is it the full size (Mini). It is the smallest -sized sim of the
3 options.
Please also be sure that the Sim Card is inserted the correct way round. A small icon is shown on the
bottom of the router to show you which way round the small cut-out/notch of your sim should be
facing. We have also placed a red line on the sim image below to help show which way round the
sim cut-out/notch should be facing when inserting.

2) On the device that you wish to connect to (eg your phone/tablet/laptop etc), search for the ZTE
router under Wireless Connections/Wi-Fi. Once your device has found the ZTE router, enter the Wi-Fi
Password and click connect. The Wi-Fi Password is printed on the sticker on the bottom of the ZTE
MC801A and is called: KEY. This is not to be confused with the option on the same sticker called :
Password. (That is not for connecting devices via Wi-Fi).
Note: If for any reason the KEY does not work, please press, and hold the Reset button until all the
lights on the front of the router blink off and back on again, then try the KEYagain. (The Reset button
is located underneath the flap on the bottom of the router).

3) Now that your device is connected to the ZTE MC801A it should automatically open the ZTE
Admin Page and ask you to login. If it does not load this page automatically, please open your
browser on your phone/tablet/laptop etc and type the ZTE Web Admin page address and press
enter/go.
The web address/URL for the ZTE Admin Page is: http://192.168.0.1 and can be found on the sticker
on the bottom of your router. It will be referred to as: Device Manager Website.
4) You will then be asked to enter a password.

5) This Password is also found on the sticker on the bottom of the router. (Not to be confused with
the KEY as previously mentioned).
6) This first time you login you may see the following page. Click SKIP
