Installing the SIM Card
Step | Description | Image |
1 | Use a small Phillips screwdriver to loosen the Cellular SIM cover at the end of the router. Rotate the cover to expose the SIM slots |  |
2 | Extract only the relevant SIM size from the SIM holder in accordance with the Router HW version: Standard for HW 1/2 or Nano for HW 3 |  |
3 | Insert an activated SIM card into at least one of the SIM slots: Slot A, beveled corner first and the gold circuit side facing down. Slot B, insert it beveled corner first with the gold circuit side facing up. Push the card into the slot with your fingernail until it clicks into place (SIM size may vary in accordance with the router HW version) |  |
Attaching the antennas
Step | Description |
1 | Attach the two flat-end LTE paddle antennas to the router’s threaded Main (top left) and Diversity/Aux (top right) connectors and hand tighten them. |
2 | Attach the two rounded-end WiFi paddle antennas to the router’s threaded Wi-Fi Antenna A (bottom left) and Wi-Fi Antenna B (bottom right) connectors and hand tighten them. (One WiFi antenna for HW 1/2) |
Powering Up the Router
Step | Description | Image |
1 | Connect the power supply to the router’s DC IN port. The release clip must be facing up for the connector to click into place (HW 3). Plug the other end of the power supply into an AC wall outlet. |  |
Validation! Once the router is connected to a power source, the Status LED will turn solid red. Within 3 to 5 minutes, all three lights—Status, Wi-Fi, and Cellular—should turn green, indicating that the router is functioning properly (see steps 1-5 illustration below).
If the Cellular LED remains blinking green (Step 4), refer to this document next section - Configuring the router to work with a “Webbing” SIM card.
Note! If any of the router LEDs fail to change as described, refer to the latest version of the Basic Troubleshooting Guide for Peplink routers.

1 | Open the WiFi settings on your computer, tablet, or smartphone. Find and connect to the PEPLINK_xxxx network, where xxxx is the last 4 characters of the router’s serial number router. |  |
2 | Use the AP Password on the label on the bottom of the router to connect to the WiFi network. The password is all uppercase with no dashes or spaces. |  |
3 | Open the system web browser. In the address bar at the top of the browser, type 192.168.50.1 and press Enter. (The browser may warn you that you’re connecting to an insecure link; allow it to proceed anyway.) |  |
4 | At the Peplink login screen, enter the default username admin and default password admin and click Login. Both entries are lowercase. |  |
5 | Click on the "Cellular" button in the WAN Connection Status tab of the router's main dashboard. |  |
6 | You’ll be prompted to change the password, choose a password with a minimum of 10 characters, including both lowercase and uppercase letters, as well as numbers. Then click "Save and Apply", this password will be changed once the router goes online and receives the updates from the management platform (In-Control). |  |
7 | Scroll down to Cellular Settings and
Scroll all the way down and click “Save and Apply”. |  |
Validation! After applying the settings, the Cellular LED should turn solid green. If it doesn't, refer to the latest Basic Troubleshooting Guide for Peplink routers (AL00014).
Use your Smartphone/Tablet/Computer to scan for WiFi networks and look for the default network called “Augury_Cellular" used by Augury devices. If you can't find this network, contact Augury Support via the in-app chat.
