network without a password. No Password is not recommended as it leads to low network security.
− To use the same password for Wi-Fi access and web UI login, tick Sync the login password with
the Wi-Fi password.
− To use different passwords for Wi-Fi access and web UI login, set Wi-Fi name and Wi-Fi password
for Wi-Fi login and login password for web UI login.

4G Preferred: Priority to sign up for the 4G Wi-Fi network to access the internet.
−
4G Only: Only access the internet by signing up for the 4G Wi-Fi network.
−
3G Only: Only access the internet by signing up for the 3G Wi-Fi network.
Band
Specifies whether to enable the Lock Band function to improve the internet experience. With the function enabled, it will scan and match the band supported by the SIM card and ISP according to the surrounding network environment.
Band List
Used to select single or multiple bands according to your needs. Selecting a single band can only register the specified band to improve the internet experience. Selecting multiple bands will use a band from the selected options according to the actual network conditions (signal strength, signal quality and so on).
Dial-up
Settings
Profile Name
Generally, all these parameters are predefined in the SIM card. The router will identify these parameters automatically, which cannot be changed, and use them for dial-up.
If the router fails to identify these parameters of your SIM card, you must enter them manually by clicking Create a Profile and dial up for internet access.
If the router cannot identify these parameters, contact your ISP for them. PDP Type

MTU
Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is the largest data packet transmitted by a network device. The default MTU value is 1460. Do not change the value unless necessary.
Compatibility Mode
Used to share the hotspot and traffic of the SIM card for internet access, which can solve the problem of ISP traffic restrictions. The SIM card package includes traffic and hotspot. If the traffic can only be used for mobile devices (such as smartphones) and the hotspot can only be used for the router, you can enable the compatibility mode on the web UI to modify the Time to Live (TTL) and Hop Limit (HL) values to share the hotspot and traffic for internet access.
It is applicable to some ISPs limited plans. The TTL and HL values can be modified for packet capture analysis according to your needs.

9.6 Firewall

The firewall function helps the router detect and defend ICMP flood attack, TCP flood attack and UDP flood attack, and ignore Ping packet from WAN port. It is recommended to keep the default settings.
To access the page, log in to the web UI of the router, and navigate to Advanced Settings > Firewall.
Parameter description
Parameter
Description
ICMP Flood Attack Defense
Used to enable or disable the ICMP flood attack defense. The ICMP flood attack means that, to implement attacks on the target host, the
attacker sends a large number of ICMP Echo messages to the target host, which causes the target host to spend a lot of time and resources on processing ICMP Echo messages, but cannot process normal requests or responses.
TCP Flood Attack Defense
Used to enable or disable the TCP flood attack defense. The TCP flood attack means that, to implement attacks on the target host, the
attacker quickly initiates a large number of TCP connection requests in a short period of time, and then suspends in a semi-connected state, thereby occupying a large amount of server resources until the server denies any services.
UDP Flood Attack Defense
Used to enable or disable the UDP flood attack defense. The UDP flood attack is implemented in a similar way with ICMP flood attack, during
which the attacker sends many UDP packets to the target host, causing the target host to be busy processing these UDP packets, but unable to process normal packet requests or responses.
