䡲
3G preferred — The connection can be established to either 3G or 4G; if both are available,
3G is used.
䡲
4G preferred — The connection can be established to either 3G or 4G; if both are available,
4G is used. This setting is recommended if your service provider has no data limit for 4G,
but does for 3G, or you want to take advantage of the faster data transfer speeds of 4G.
䡲
3G only
— The connection can be established only to 3G. (If you don’t have 4G coverage,
you can save power by selecting
3G Only
.)
䡲
4G only
— The connection can be established only to 4G.
●
Connect Automatically — You can set your device to connect to the network when the device
powers on.
●
Failover Wait-time — This setting specifies how long the device should wait, after it loses the
connection with the preferred network, before it attempts to connect to the other network (not
available if
WAN mode
is “3G only” or “4G only”).
●
Switchback Wait-time
— This setting specifies how long the device should wait, when the less-
preferred network is connected and the preferred network becomes available, before switching
to the preferred network (not available if
WAN mode is “3G only” or “4G only”).
