Step 1: Identify Your Current Firmware

Connect your PC to the MC7010 (Ethernet).
Open a browser and go to http://192.168.0.1 (or 192.168.1.1 – check your device sticker).
Log in (default credentials: admin / admin or admin / password – unless changed).
Navigate to Device Info > Status or About. Note down:
- Current firmware version (e.g., BD_MC7010V1.0.0B01).
- Hardware version (e.g., V1.0).
- Model (e.g., MC7010V1).

Step 4: Post-Update Validation

Wait an additional 2 minutes after the LEDs stabilize.
Clear your browser cache (Ctrl+Shift+Delete) or use an incognito window.
Log back into 192.168.0.1.
Navigate to Device Info and verify the firmware version has changed.
Perform a factory reset: Go to Management > Settings Management > Factory Reset. This clears old, incompatible configuration remnants.
Reconfigure your device manually (Wi-Fi SSID, admin password, APN settings). Do not restore your old backup file.
Test connectivity: Run a speed test, ping Google (ping 8.8.8.8 -t for 5 minutes), and monitor for disconnections.
