  1. Plug in the Beryl. Wait a minute.
  2. Hold in the reset button on the right side for 10 seconds. The front light will flash rapidly. This resets the Beryl. Unplug the Beryl, wait a few seconds, plug it back in and wait a minute. The front light should be solid blue.
  3. Now, move to a device that uses wifi to connect to your Nighthawk: Laptop, tablet or phone. With that device, search for available wifi networks. You want to be in the same room with the Beryl. You should see one or two, depending on the device, with the names “MT1300-xxx” or “MT1300-5G-xxx”, with the xxx being a string of numbers and letters unique to your Beryl. If you don’t see one of those two wifi networks, the Beryl isn’t working and you should return it.Got to this point
  4. If you see one of those networks, connect to it with the password “goodlife”.didn’t ask for goodlife but asked for new password which I did
  5. Using a browser on your device, go to http://192.168.8.1. That should bring up the admin panel and you can proceed from there. If you don’t get the panel asking for a choice of language, go back to step 1.
    Admin Panel came up. It shows cable not connected. on laptop is GL-MT1300 strong but on Beryl slow blinkng blue light not white which tells me not connected to internet

Second way, using a device that uses an ethernet connection, plug in that devices ethernet cable into one of the two LAN ports. Not the WAN port, the farthest of the tree away from the power plug!! Then do steps 1, 2 and 5. If 5 doesn’t succeed, then make sure your device has a new IP address by resetting its network connection. It will be in the range of 192.168.8.xxx, and it sounds like you’ve done it before.
**Tried second way. Reset Beryl plugged ethernet from my router to port next to WAN reset ip address on laptop to 192,168.8.150 selected MT 1300 then went 192.168.8.1 **admin panel is up , shows 2 WLAN clients and 1 LAN client. I have white light. Went to wireless to scan for networks and it only showed a repeater that is on the outside of the house furthest away from main router but I was able to connect my phone BUT it did not work unless I had a cable plugged into my Nighthawk. At the hotel I will not have that ability.
I do appreciate your help, thank you.
