FAQ
Q: What is the R536’s main purpose?
A: The R536 is a portable WiFi router that fits in the palm of your hand. It will allow you to connect up to 5 devices
to access the internet, such as laptops, digital cameras, portable game consoles or mobile phones.
Q: What networks does the R536 operate on?
A: The R536 operates on WiMAX wireless networks.
Q: What are the air holes on the both side of the R536?
A: The air holes are designed to reduce the heat generated by the device itself while it used. Keep the device away
from open flames, dusty conditions, and keep it dry for optimal performance.
Q: What kind of security is available with the R536?
A: The R536 supports advanced WiFi security protocol through standard methods such as WiFi Protected Access
(WPA & WPA2) and the previous method of Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP).
More advanced settings are available in the Web based user interface.
Q: What if the user forgets their R536 password?
A: The R536 can be reset by powering on the device, remove the battery cover, and depress the small button near
the bottom of the battery using a paper clip or pen and hold for 5 seconds. The Power LED will turn off-and-on
several times to indicate reset is successful. The unit will power up with the factory default configuration.
Q: What might the owner of the R536 need to be aware of before sharing with multiple devices?
A: With multiple devices or used as a temporary hotspot:
If there are several heavy data users on at the same time, you may notice a degradation in performance
Users are not allowed to access more than 5 devices to the R536 in order to keep the devices’ data speed
stable enough to be communicated without a problem.
Be aware these users are contributing to your data usage. You may want to check your account online to see
how much of a difference it is making and how close you are to any usage caps that may apply under your
Blink network connection plan.
If all are accessing a R536 that is using the battery, the battery will drain faster than the average of 2.5 hours
usage time for one user.
Q: Can a user connect the R536 to their computer with a USB cable?
A: When the R536 is tethered via a USB cable to a computer, the device will also function as a hotspot. And in this
mode, the R536 can be charged, or re-charged at the same time.
Page 25
Q: What is the average battery usage time?
A: The battery will have on average 2.5 hours of active use time when connected to a single device and will
discharge more rapidly as additional devices are connected (up to 5 WiFi devices are acceptable). There is 10 hours
of standby time.
Q: Why the R536 turns off while in used and it wouldn’t turn on again?
A: The red solid power LED indicates the battery is below 20% and if it’s blinking, it indicates the R536 will turn off
very soon. After the battery has run down, it turns off automatically. So you need to charge the battery using the
USB Power Adapter.
Q: How close does the user’s WiFi enabled device need to be from the R536?
A: The device will need to be within 16 feet or 5 meters of the WiFi device to work. So a user can keep the R536 in
their pocket, laptop bag, or sitting on a desk or window ledge across a room (for better coverage).
Q: Does the R536 support voice calls, fax and/or text messaging?
A: Voice calls, text messaging and fax are not supported.
Q: Can the R536 be used for memory storage?
A: The R536 does not support onboard or removable memory storage.
Q: How long does a user need to charge the battery before they begin using?
A: The battery must be fully charged before using the R536 for the first time. We recommend a minimum of 3
hours charging time before first use. After the initial use and set-up, you may use with the battery alone or with
the battery and the USB Power Adapter.
Q: Does the R536 require software installation?
A: No, the R536 comes with a browser URL that allows the user to configure the device.
You can establish security and set more advanced settings without installing any software.
Q: What if the R536 can not access the internet even though the unit has been activated?
A: Verify your network & signal strength for optimal performance.
Q: When will a user of the R536 need to access the browser interface?
A: The R536 browser interface will only need to be accessed or used when configuring your device for the first time
or changing the security settings or establishing more advanced settings.
Q: Why does the R536 gets warm?
A: The R536 has two radios inside: WIMAX radio and the WiFi radio. In fringe areas of low WiMAX coverage, the
transmit power will be at the max and therefore generate more heat. The device has been environmentally tested
and approved by the FCC.
