If your Swift data gets exhausted rather quickly then its possible that unauthorized devices are connected to your Swift Wi-Fi network. You should monitor connected devices. If changing your swift router password still doesn't lock the devices out of your network then your best best is to blacklist them.

Steps to block / blacklist a device from accessing your Swift WiFi Hotspot


  1. Follow the steps below to prevent unauthorized connections to your Swift 4G Wi-Fi network

  2. In your browser's address bar, visit http://homerouter.cpe , 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.8.1 then press Enter

  3. Click Login at the top. If you haven't changed your login credentials then use:

    Default username: user
    Default password: user

    If the above credentials don't work then try

    Default username: admin
    Default password: admin
