Router (For Internet) Advanced Functions and Changing Router Settings For most users changing these settings is not necessary. We only recommend accessing and changing settings in the Web User Interface if necessary and we do not recommend changing settings which have not been outlined in this booklet.
Advanced Functions and Changing Router Settings All of the settings and functionality of the Roam Combo X Router are changed using the Web User Interface. This can be accessed using a browser when your device is connected to the Roam Combo Wi-Fi network. The Roam Combo X Router is very powerful and there are many settings in here which can be adjusted to suit your requirements.
Page 22
When accessing the Web User Interface for the first time, you will be offered the chance to use the Set Up Wizard. This can be used to set up the router’s most relevant parameters, such as changing the hotspot username and password. Competent users can navigate through other settings, however we recommend skipping the Set Up Wizard as it is not strictly necessary to change any of these settings.
Logging out of the Web User Interface Once you have finished using the Web User Interface, you should log out. We recommend doing this every time you have finished using the Web User Interface. Select ‘Log Out’ in the top right hand corner and Once you have logged out you can now close confirm you wish to log out.

That said, as the 5G network continues to expand, 5G may well benefit customers in years to come. To ensure customers are futureproofed for when 5G technology does provide a benefit, Maxview have therefore integrated 5G capabilities into the Roam Combo X antenna as standard. Please note, the Roam Combo X Router is a 3G/4G router and does not receive 5G.

17. What does the Maxview Roam X Combo App do? The Maxview Roam X Combo App is available free of charge to all customers who have purchased a Maxview Roam Combo X. It is available to download from the Android Google Play and Apple App Stores. The Roam Combo X App is designed to simplify some of the key functions of the Maxview Roam Combo X including set up, changing the Roam X Combo hotspot Wi-Fi name/password as well as switching between 3G/4G and Wi-Fi source.
Page 39
Wi-Fi sources requiring use of a Captive Portal are not supported by the Maxview Roam Combo X and therefore cannot be used as an Wi-Fi source. In this instance we suggest you continue to use the 3G/4G connection or connect directly to the Wi-Fi connection with your Wi-Fi enabled device.

20. What is WAN Failover? Once Wi-Fi has been activated as the internet source, the Roam X Combo uses WAN failover as default. This feature is designed to overcome the need to manually switch the internet source between mobile and Wi-Fi.
