The local diagnostic page is a webpage that is hosted on your hotspot. It can only be accessed by you or anyone located on your private local network using either Ethernet or Wi-Fi. The diagnostic webpage will give you access to information about your hotspot such as the health and status of the device. It can also be used to troubleshoot any issues and access some premium features when subscribed to our Nebra dashboard.
Accessing Local Diagnostic Page
To access the local diagnostic page you will need to either identify your local IP address of your hotspot or identify the hostname of the hotspot. You can find your local IP address by using your router's admin page (Typically can be accessed by typing 192.168.1.1 into a web browser, but not all routers are the same, for more details regarding your specific router, please the manufactures webpage).
You can typically do all of these steps on a mobile device, laptop, or desktop. Once you have identified the IP address of your unit, you will be able to access a page by typing in the address in your web browser.
If you can indentify the hostname of your device then you can type in the hostname in the web browser followed by .local i.e. Nebra-ABCD123.local
Login Page
When the diagnostic page loads you will be promoted to enter a password to login to your local Diagnostic page on your hotspot. If this is the first time logging in to the page then a default password has already been configured for you. The default password for the login page will be the Ethernet MAC address of your hotspot i.e A0:B1:C2:D3:E4:F5 You can find the Ethernet MAC address or your device by looking at your Internet router device information page.
The password will have to be entered using CAPITOL letters and without the colon in between i.e A0B1C2D3E4F5
