If the SIM status reads 
“PIN Uninitialized”,

 The 

SIM card is either inserted 
improperly or has not been 

initialized. After confirming 

that the SIM card is inserted 
correctly, if the SIM status 
still reads “PIN Uninitialized”, 
call VTel Technical Support.

If the Network Name reads 
“VTel Wireless”

 as shown 

below, the router is connected 
properly to the VTel Wireless 
network. Any connectivity issues 
are likely related to the comput-
er you’re attempting to use to 
access the Internet. If possible, 
try accessing the router using a 

different peripheral (a computer, 

a tablet, or a smartphone), or 
contact your peripheral manu-
facturer’s technical support.

My connection speed is very slow.

You may experience slower speeds at certain times of day, when Inter- 
net usage amongst VTel Wireless customers is highest. Peak hours 

are typically between 7pm and 11pm. With that said, our network is 

designed to accommodate many users at once. If your connection  
is slow:

Wait at least 20 minutes to ensure your device has synced with 
VTel’s nearby site. 

The maximum speed for your location may not 

be achieved immediately upon powering on the device.
