How to Set Up Your Olax MF985 WiFi Hotspot Router
Your package includes a pre-installed SIM card — just charge, activate, and connect.
Locate Your ICCID Number
Your package includes the Router, a pre-installed SIM card, a Type-C charging cable, and a user manual. The Micro-SIM is already installed inside the device — no need to insert it yourself. The large plastic card in the box is the SIM card carrier. It has the ICCID number printed on it, which you will need to activate the SIM.
Charge and Power On
Charge your device using the Type-C cable included at the bottom of the box. Allow a few hours for a full charge, then press the power button to turn the device on.
Activate the Pre-Installed SIM Card
Once the device is powered on, visit m.spectrumsim.com and activate the SIM using the ICCID number from the carrier card. The device will not connect to the internet until the SIM is activated.
Connect to spectrum_wifi
Click the WiFi icon on your phone, laptop, or tablet. Toggle WiFi off and back on to refresh the network list — it may take a few tries before spectrum_wifi appears. Connect to it using the password printed on the top of the box or on the back of the device.
Troubleshoot a Missing Connection
If you are connected to spectrum_wifi but have no internet access, try this: (1) Unplug the device from power. (2) Wait 2–3 minutes. (3) Plug it back in. This forces the device to re-register on the cellular network.
Still Having Issues?
Here are the most common causes and how to fix them.
Toggle your device's WiFi off and back on to force a fresh scan. Move closer to the router — it has a range of about 10 metres. Make sure the router is fully powered on (LED indicator lit).
Confirm your SIM is activated at m.spectrumsim.com. If already activated, unplug the router, wait a few minutes, and plug it back in to re-register on the network.
The initial cellular registration can take up to 10 minutes, especially in areas with weaker signal. Keep the device powered on and wait before trying again.
The default WiFi password is printed on the top of the box and on a sticker on the back of the device. If you changed it and forgot it, hold the reset button for 10 seconds to restore factory defaults.
