Geneko GWR462 LCD Display On Startup
Just a quick video to show you the LCD Display of the Geneko GWR462 4G Router.
We instered a standard 3 Mobile Data SIM, Connected the Antennas and powered on the router. After the router had finished booting up you could see the Mobile Network Name and Signal Strength on the Display. We then connected an Ethernet cable to a PC so you can see the status of Ethernet port 1 change and we then activated the cellular module so it could connect to the mobile network to demonstrate the LCD display staus for this.
By the way - in the default setting for the GWR462 4G ROuter the 4G module is disabled so it will not connect automatically - you need to configure your APN settings and enable the SIM 1 or SIM 2. You can view this in the quick video guide below about the configuration of the Geneko GWR462 APN settings.
