If you wish to connect an Ethernet based long range wireless adaptor, such as the Digital Yacht WL510, so that you can 
access wireless hotspots in bars, marinas, etc. then connect the adaptor using a normal network cable to the 
4GConnect’s WAN socket. The 4GConnect expects to receive an IP address automatically from the long-range wireless 
adaptor. 
 
The 4GConnect will always try and access the internet first, via its wired WAN socket. If no internet connection exists on 
the wired WAN socket, then it will “fall back” and use the 3G/4G mobile network.

Inserting a 3G/4G data SIM card 

 
To connect to the internet via a 3G/4G mobile connection, the 4GConnect must have a 3G/4G data SIM inserted which is 
registered to a valid mobile operator account. Any mobile operator’s data SIM card can be used if it is a Standard SIM (15 
x 25mm) size. 
 
To insert the SIM, it is necessary to unscrew the four screws of the 

4GConnect’s “connectors” end cap plus the top two 

screws of the 

“antennas” end cap, as shown in Fig.2… 

 

 

Figure 2 

With the six screws removed gently lever the “connectors” end cap away from the aluminium housing and then let it drop 
down slightly, enough so that the top aluminium panel (one with the product label on) can be gently slid out as shown in 
Fig.3. 

With the top aluminium panel removed, you can now access the 3G/4G router module. To make it easier for you, we have 
not insterted the  SIM holder and it  is attached  to the  power cable  with a twist tie as shown  in Fig.4. Simply remove the 
twist  tie,  insert  your  SIM  card  into  the  SIM  holder  and  then  carefully  insert  the  SIM  holder  in  to  the  router  module  as 
shown in Fig.5.
