A1300 travel router.

I was having major issues, so I did hard reset. During initial setup, I tried setting the initial password. Every time, I get the following error:
"Unknown error occurred. Please check the network environment or reboot the device"

Things tried with no success:

  • Soft reset
  • Unplug power, wait 10 sec, plug power back in
  • Edge and Chrome browser
  • Incognito/Private mode for each browser
  • Different passwords (all conform to strong password rules)
  • The steps from an article that provides 4 "uci set" to be run via SSH

My laptop doesn't have a LAN port, so I can only connect to the router wirelessly. Help!

Hello,

  1. Please confirm the phone to router WiFi connection stable. Please try to disable the cellular date first.
  2. Please share the screenshot of this error
  3. What uci commands did you execute?

Could you login the router SSH in phone? If yes, you can refer this to complete the wizard:
