GETTING TO KNOW THE DEVICE BUTTONS AND FUNCTIONS

Before starting the Speed Wi-Fi DOCK 5G 01 setup, you should understand the location and function of each part of the device.

TOUCHSCREEN

The touchscreen is the main control center of the device. You can monitor almost all operating information directly from the screen without logging into the administration page.

The display shows:

  • 4G/5G signal strength

  • Remaining battery level

  • WiFi network name (SSID)

  • Default WiFi password

  • Number of connected devices

  • Data usage

  • System notifications

POWER BUTTON

The power button is located on the side of the device. Common operations include:

  • Press and hold for approximately 3 seconds to turn on the device.

  • Press and hold for approximately 3 seconds while the device is running to turn it off.

  • Press once to turn the screen on or off.

USB TYPE-C PORT

The USB Type-C port is used for:

  • Charging the battery.

  • Connecting the device to a computer.

  • Updating the software when required.

It is recommended to use a compatible charger to help maintain battery life.

NANO SIM TRAY

The Speed Wi-Fi DOCK 5G 01 uses a Nano SIM. Do not remove or insert the SIM while the device is powered on, as the SIM may not be recognized properly after restarting.

HOW TO INSERT THE SIM CARD INTO THE SPEED WI-FI DOCK 5G 01

Inserting the SIM correctly is the first step to getting the device connected to the Internet. If the SIM is inserted incorrectly or does not make proper contact, the device may display "No SIM" or fail to connect to the network.

STEP 1: TURN OFF THE DEVICE

Press and hold the power button for approximately 3 seconds and select Power Off. Wait until the screen turns off completely before continuing.

STEP 2: OPEN THE NANO SIM TRAY

Use your hand or the supplied SIM tool to open the SIM tray. Handle it gently to avoid bending or damaging the tray.

STEP 3: INSERT THE NANO SIM CORRECTLY

Place the Nano SIM according to the markings on the SIM tray. Make sure that:

  • The metal contact side faces down.

  • The beveled corner of the SIM matches the beveled corner of the tray.

  • Do not use excessive force when closing the tray.

STEP 4: TURN ON THE DEVICE

After inserting the SIM, press and hold the power button for approximately 3 seconds. The device will take around 30–60 seconds to search for a network signal. If the screen displays a 4G or 5G icon, the SIM has been inserted successfully.

Note: If the device has a network signal but cannot access the Internet, you may need to configure the APN for the Speed Wi-Fi DOCK 5G 01. This process is explained in detail below.

HOW TO CONNECT THE SPEED WI-FI DOCK 5G 01 TO A PHONE OR COMPUTER

Once the device has connected to the network, you can access the Internet in just a few steps.

CONNECT USING THE WIFI NAME AND PASSWORD

On your phone or computer, turn on WiFi and find the network name (SSID) displayed on the device screen. Enter the default password and select Connect. If everything is correct, you will be able to access the Internet within a few seconds.

CONNECT USING A QR CODE

Some versions support quick connection via QR Code. Simply open your phone's camera, scan the QR code displayed on the device screen, and select Connect. This is the fastest method and helps minimize password entry errors.

GETTING FAMILIAR WITH THE SETTINGS INTERFACE

After connecting successfully, take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the settings available on the touchscreen.

On the main screen, you will find options such as WiFi Settings, Data Usage, Connected Devices, Network Settings, and System. These settings allow you to change the WiFi name, update the password, manage connected devices, configure the APN, and perform a factory reset when necessary.

HOW TO CHANGE THE WIFI NAME AND PASSWORD ON THE SPEED WI-FI DOCK 5G 01

One of the first things you should do after receiving the device is change the default WiFi name and password. This makes your network easier to identify when multiple WiFi networks are nearby and improves security by preventing unauthorized access. To make these changes, select WiFi Settings from the main screen.

CHANGE THE WIFI NAME (SSID)

In the SSID section, enter your preferred new network name.

We recommend using a short, easy-to-remember name such as:

  • SkyMobile_5G

  • Home_WiFi

  • Japan_5G

Avoid using your phone number or personal information to protect your privacy.

CHANGE THE WIFI PASSWORD

Next, select Password and enter a new password. A secure password should:

  • Contain at least 8 characters.

  • Include uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and numbers.

  • Avoid simple combinations such as 12345678 or password.

After selecting Save, the device will restart its WiFi function. All phones and computers previously connected to the network will need to enter the new password again.

HOW TO CONFIGURE THE APN ON THE SPEED WI-FI DOCK 5G 01

In most cases, the device will automatically detect the network configuration when a SIM card is inserted. However, if you switch carriers or use a SIM card from another provider, APN configuration may be required.

WHEN DO YOU NEED TO CONFIGURE THE APN?

You should check the APN if:

  • The device has a network signal but no Internet connection.

  • The 4G or 5G icon is displayed but websites cannot be accessed.

  • You have just inserted a new SIM card.

  • The carrier requires manual configuration.

APN CONFIGURATION STEPS

From the main screen, go to:

Settings → Network Settings → APN

Select Add APN and enter the information provided by your SIM provider:

  • APN

  • Username (if required)

  • Password (if required)

  • Authentication Type (if required)

After completing the settings, select Save, choose the newly created APN profile, and restart the device.

Tip: If you are unsure about the correct APN settings, contact your SIM provider instead of trying different configurations, as incorrect settings may cause connection problems.

HOW TO CHECK YOUR DATA USAGE

For SIM plans with a limited data allowance, monitoring your data usage helps prevent unexpected speed reductions. Open Data Usage to view:

  • Total data used.

  • Daily data usage.

  • Monthly data usage.

  • Number of devices currently using data.

If you frequently share your WiFi connection with multiple users, check this section regularly to manage your data usage effectively.

HOW TO RESET THE SPEED WI-FI DOCK 5G 01

If you forget your WiFi password or the device becomes unstable after changing settings, you can restore it to its original state. There are two ways to reset the device:

METHOD 1: RESET FROM THE MENU

Go to:

Settings → System → Factory Reset

Select Reset and confirm.

METHOD 2: RESET USING THE PHYSICAL RESET BUTTON

If your device has a Reset button:

  • Turn on the device.

  • Use the SIM eject tool to press and hold the Reset button for approximately 10 seconds.

  • Wait for the device to restart.

After resetting, the WiFi name, password, and all previous settings will be restored to their default values.
