Connect your router to a mobile broadband
network
You can use the mobile broadband connection as either:
•
Your only Internet connection.
•
Your backup Internet connection if your primary Internet connection is offline. This
requires a wired modem such as a DSL, cable, or fiber-optic modem to provide your
primary Internet connection.
Note: The router requires a nano SIM card to connect to mobile broadband. Get a
nano SIM card from your LTE provider.
To connect your router to your LTE provider’s mobile broadband network:
1. Make sure that the router is powered off before inserting the nano SIM card.
2. Insert the nano SIM card into the nano SIM slot on the back of the router.
Note: The router does not support SIM hot-swapping. If you want to change the
nano SIM card, power off the router before changing the nano SIM card.
3. Connect the power adapter to your router and plug the power adapter into an outlet.
The Power LED lights.
4. Wait for the router’s ring LED to light white.
Your router tries to connect to the mobile broadband network automatically. This
process might take up to 10 minutes.
If the router cannot connect, you might need to enter your SIM card’s Personal
Identification Number (PIN), manually set your LTE provider’s Access Point Name
(APN), or do both.
5. If the router cannot connect to the mobile broadband network, access the router
web interface (see Connect to Your Network and Access the Router on page ?)
and do one or both of the following:
•
Enter your SIM card’s PIN in the Orbi router web interface (see Enter the PIN or
PUK on page ?). If you do not know the PIN, contact your LTE provider.
•
Ask your LTE provider for the required APN, and enter the APN in the Orbi router
web interface (see Change the LTE provider’s access point name on page ?).
