Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1000 User Manual

Troubleshooting the ISP Connection

Check these possible sources of trouble if you are having difficulty connecting to or browsing
the Internet.

Connecting to the Internet

If unable to connect to Internet, check the following:

The Internet account is active.

If your ISP has provided you with a
SIM card and you haven’t inserted
it into the SIM card slot on the
back of the router yet, do so now.

Wireless broadband coverage is

available where the unit is located.

Access the router main menu to

verify that the broadband settings

are correct. Check with your ISP if

you are unsure.

Check the location of the router.

Move the router closer to a

window for better access to the Internet signal.

•

A blue Signal LED indicates excellent coverage.

•

A green Signal LED indicates good coverage.

•

An amber Signal LED indicates marginal coverage.

•

An unlighted Signal LED indicates no coverage.

Maintain recommended minimum distances between NETGEAR equipment and

household appliances to reduce interference (see

Regulatory Compliance
