This download is only for the MOFI4500-4GXeLTE V3 version.
If you have a V1 or V2 version, you need to use the other download section.

MOFI RECOVERY INSTRUCTIONS:
—————————————————————————————————————–
If your router’s power does not come on and flash or have an issues that is serious,
you can try to do a recovery as it is possible to have this fixed.
Note this info is just for the MOFI4500 V3 router. If you have a MOFI4500 V2, you need to go to the 4500 V2 section.
On the MOFI4500 V3 model, there are 2 ways you can do the recovery,
– With WiFi which we call WiFi Recovery and the most popular since it is easier or
– With an Ethernet connection which we call Boot Recovery which is last resort to try if the WiFi recovery cannot fix the router.
To put the router in WiFi recovery, do the following:
– You will need to download and save the standard firmware on your computer prior to doing the following steps.
– Disconnect everything from the back of the router
– Hold the reset button down
– Power on the router and wait until you see the internet LED start to flash fast (will take about 15-20 seconds)
At first, the internet LED will flash and then after about 5 more seconds, it will start to flash faster
The faster flash means it is in WiFi Recovery
– Release the reset button
The router will reboot and when the Power LED is solid, Internet LED is flashing and WiFi LED is on, the router is now in WiFi Recovery Mode
– You should now see the Mofi Recovery SSID, you will need to connect to that (note you do not need internet for this step)
– Once you are connected, log into the router, 192.168.10.1, then load the standard firmware
Router will take 3-5 mins to update and then reboot. Once the power LED is solid, the router is back up
– The last step you need to do is a factory default by going to system then factory default to ensure there is nothing extra in memory that needed to be cleared out.
To do the Boot Recovery (with an Ethernet connection), do the following
Things you will need beforehand to perform recovery:
- The MOFI4500 V3 router itself (to verify ifyou have a V3 router, you could just flip over the router and on the bottom ofthe unit your serial number should say something like MOFI4500V3….)
- A computer/laptop with an Ethernet port onit
- An Ethernet cable
- A working internet connection to downloadthree files (the instruction file, recovery file and the latest firmware)
- Instruction document to perform recovery:

You will need to download and save this firmware to your PC if you want to do a recovery
