Hello there,
Just received this router, but I can´t log in to the web interface... Password should be admin has it says on the manual, but always gives me wrong password!!! any hint?
@Rui Reis: May be your operator might have changed it. You would have to check with your operator.
Hi,
Have you got an idea if it is possible to connect usb printer to the router?
Regards Janne
@Janne: I do not think one can hook a printer on to this USB port as it is enabled only for ftp.
Hi Jishnu,
How do you access music and movies from the usb storage on a windows machine? Would you need to use FTP to copy them to your local hard drive? whats your experience?
Thanks
@Muddassir Waquar Ali : I have heard that there are some apps which can allow access of the folder like a network drive. Read this http://support.godaddy.com/help/article/1298/accessing-online-storage-using-an-ftp-client site .
Thanks for the instruction! However, when I go to the command prompt, it tells me that there is no connection. Any hints?

Can u confirm if the USB port supports connecting to network using a 4G USB Dongle, instead of using a SIM slot ?
@ Prasanna Narayanan.S: I do not think so. I am sure about your question as the CPE has a built in LTE connection, why do you need to connect another dongle into the CPE?
@MW: Driver issues may be.
Just thought I'd leave this here for readers.
Now if you want to copy files / folders into the FTP server, just open 'Computer' or just about any icon for file explorer. Key in ftp://192.168.1.1 into the address tab. Windows Explorer will ask you for user name and password. After providing this information, it will show you the directory.
Now you can copy files / folders into this directory and it can be accessed from within your network on as number of devices that can connect on to your router.
The advantage is that you can use your router as a dedicated FTP server for commonly accessed files, even if you are not using the router for internet anymore. Makes the router a bit more useful doesn't it? :D
Is there a size limit on the storage? I have 2T HDD and it won't recognise it.
I think there is a problem with updated Firmware as well.
