Your Network Connections
Find out how to launch, share, and end your Internet network connection.
Launch Your Mobile Network Connection
After your gateway powers on and boots up, a connection to the best available network is
launched automatically.
Your gateway remains connected at all times, unless:
●
You are out of signal range or the signal is blocked.
●
You are in a roaming area and you have chosen not to allow roaming.
Note:
Even though your gateway is connected, you are only billed when data is sent or
received. See
If the Connection is “Always On,” Am I Always Being Billed?

You can create a separate Guest Wi-Fi network that you can share with temporary users.
Computers and wireless devices on the Guest Wi-Fi network:
●
Cannot access devices that are on the Main Wi-Fi network (such as printers or other
computers)
●
Cannot log in to the gateway to change its settings
