Frequently Asked Questions - WR44-M700-CE1-RF Digi

How do I reset the Digi WR44-M700-CE1-RF to factory defaults?

To perform a factory reset, press and hold the recessed reset button on the device for about 10 seconds while power is applied. The unit will reboot with default settings. Alternatively, you can use the web interface under System > Factory Defaults.

Can this router use two SIM cards for redundancy?

Yes, the WR44-M700-CE1-RF has two SIM slots and supports automatic failover between them. This ensures reliable connectivity for critical applications. Configuration is done in the WAN > Cellular section of the web interface.

How do I set up a VPN connection on this router?

The router supports IPsec and OpenVPN. To configure, go to VPN in the web interface, create a new tunnel, and select the protocol. You will need to provide the remote gateway, authentication details, and desired encryption settings. The built-in firewall supports complex tunnel policies.

What is the operating temperature range?

The device is designed for harsh environments and operates reliably from -40°C to +70°C. This makes it suitable for outdoor enclosures and industrial applications.

Does the router support simultaneous Wi-Fi and cellular connections?

Yes, the WR44-M700-CE1-RF can operate as a Wi-Fi access point while using the cellular connection for the WAN link. It supports multiple SSIDs and can bridge or route traffic between interfaces.

How can I update the firmware?

Firmware updates can be applied via the web interface under Administration > Firmware Upgrade. Download the latest firmware file from the Digi support website, then upload it. You can also use Digi Remote Manager for remote bulk updates.

Is PoE (Power over Ethernet) supported?

No, the WR44-M700-CE1-RF does not support PoE by default. It requires a 9-30 VDC power input via the terminal block or optional power supply. Some accessory adapters may allow PoE, but check the product documentation for compatibility.

Which cellular bands are supported?

The exact bands depend on the specific regional model. The WR44-M700-CE1-RF typically supports LTE bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 20, 25, 26, 28, and 41, plus UMTS bands. For full specifications, refer to the product datasheet or contact Digi support.

Is this router suitable for mobile vehicles?

Yes, the WR44 line is designed for mobile applications. It supports wide voltage input, vibration resistance, and has E-mark certification for automotive use. The dual SIM failover and VPN features are ideal for fleet and vehicle connectivity.

How do I access the web interface?

After connecting to the router via Ethernet or Wi-Fi (default IP: 192.168.1.1), open a web browser and enter that address. The default username is admin and the password is 12345 (change it after first login for security).
