Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I recover my password if I am not the owner of the contract?
No, this can't be done through the official app or your personal account for security reasons. However, if you have physical access to the router, you can try looking at the password on the sticker or resetting it, but this will disable internet access for all users.
What to do if the Reset button does not press?
Sometimes the reset hole is very narrow. Use a thin paper clip bent into a straight line. Press firmly, but not too hard, to avoid damaging the circuit board inside.
Will my internet speed change after resetting my router?
Resetting the connection itself doesn't change your speed, and your ISP plan remains the same. However, if you incorrectly configure the Wi-Fi channel or security standard (for example, selecting the older WEP instead of WPA2), your speed may drop due to interference or protocol limitations.
Where can I get the login and password to set up the Internet after a reset?
