Connecting the dongle step by step with a

    ZTE Modem

    If you are on this page, connecting the dongle was unfortunately not a piece of cake for you. A more common problem that prevents connection is because the dongle is not within range of your WiFi network or your 2.4GHz WiFi signal is turned off. Follow the steps below to turn on your 2.4GHz signal.

    Step 1
    Login ZTE Modem
    Click this link http://192.168.1.1 to log in through your browser such as 'Internet Explorer'.
    (Login with your password or with the default password and username both user).
    Step 1
    Step 2
    Turn on the 2.4GHz signal
    Now follow the steps in the image below, and in step 4 set the WLAN (2.4GHz) to On and click on 'Apply'.
    Step 2
    Step 3
    Restart the ZTE Modem
    After these settings have been saved, restart the router by unplugging it for 10 seconds.

    Step 4
    Restart the dongle
    Remove the dongle from the smart meter (and from the socket if you use an adapter) Connect the dongle first to the socket then to the smart meter.
    Step 4
    Step 5

    Close the EARN-E app and open it again.
    Step 7
    Step 8
    Start connection process
    Log in and go through the connection process in the app. During the connection process, you will be asked to access the camera and your location. You must accept this access to connect the dongle to your account.
    Step 8

    Shouldn’t that also work? Then try another phone or tablet.

    Tried with another phone or tablet but still without success?
