Please note
- Do not power up your VeeaHub until step 3.
- Place or mount your VeeaHub on a flat surface with room (about 3 in/7.5 cm) for air to circulate around it.
- The SIM card included with your VeeaHub is visible in the MicroSIM slot (see the diagram). Do not remove or replace the SIM card. The SIM can be used only with Veea's services.
- Retain all packaging and materials until after your 30-day trial period is complete.
Connecting the antennas
In the picture, items (1) and (2) are the cellular antennas and item (3) is the Bluetooth antenna. Make sure that both cellular antennas are connected and fully screwed in to obtain the cellular signal.
Be sure to connect the antennas to the correct connectors, otherwise damage can occur.
Connect your VeeaHub to the Internet
If you are using the cellular network as your Internet connection, do not connect anything to the VeeaHub just yet. Position your unit ideally near a window to get the best reception of the 4G signal.
If you are using your ISP's router as your Internet connection, plug an Ethernet cable into Port 2 (marked “••”) to connect your VeeaHub to the Internet.
Connect the other end of the ethernet cable to your Internet Service Provider's router.
Power up
Insert the plug appropriate for your country into the power adapter. To remove, pull the plug upward while pushing the button.
Plug one end of the power adapter provided into your VeeaHub, and the other end into the outlet. As soon as you plug it in, the VeeaHub will power on. You don’t need to press the Power button.
Activation
The Power light will turn on and the Status light will blink as your VeeaHub is getting started. If you’d like to learn more about the LED lights, click here.
When activation is complete, the two lights will be solid green and the logo on the top of the VeeaHub case will be solid blue.
If you are using the cabled connection, activation will complete within 30 minutes. With the cellular connection, allow 45 minutes for activation.
If activation does not complete, contact the person who ordered your vTPN service. If you ordered directly from Veea, contact us at (+1) 855 488-7332 or https://veea.com/support
Connect devices
After you have activated your VeeaHubs and your mesh setup is complete, you can connect your laptops, printers, phones, and other devices to your VeeaHub.
- Check the VeeaHub Wi-Fi name (SSID) and password that was sent in your confirmation email.
- Follow the instructions that came with your device to connect it to the VeeaHub Wi-Fi.
Wireless WAN Backup
If you are using the cabled connection to your ISP as your main Internet access, the unit will automatically switch over to cellular connection if the ISP connection fails and Internet service is lost. Internet access will continue over cellular as long as necessary.
When the primary service is restored, the service automatically switches back to it.
Please note
- To turn off your VeeaHub, briefly press the power button and let go. It will take about 30 seconds before you see all the lights go off.
- After that, if the VeeaHub is connected with the power adapter and turned off, press the Power button to power it back on.
Troubleshooting
If you are having problems with your VeeaHub:
- Make sure the power adapter is plugged in and the power light is on.
- Make sure the Ethernet cable is plugged in and the VeeaHub can connect to the Internet.
- Check the status light. If the V-logo light on the top of the unit is not solid blue, it might mean that your VeeaHub is booting up, updating its software, and/or still installing.
- Restart your VeeaHub. Unplug from power for 30 seconds and then plug it back in.
- If the above steps didn’t resolve the issue, reset your unit by pressing the Reset button for 12 seconds.
- If the problem continues, contact the person who ordered your vTPN service. If you ordered directly from Veea, contact us at (+1) 855 488-7332 or veea.com/support
