C.  EASE OF MODEM ACTIVATION VARIES BY RESELLER / CARRIER

  In some cases, it can be difficult to activate the WiFiRanger LTE modem 

  and SIM card depending on the representative you speak with. 

  Some representatives work for a cellular reseller that does not have the 

  offerings you desire, or you may need a more knowledgeable 

  representative to handle your request. Ask different cellular stores, 

  resellers, or a direct Carrier representative until you find the right 

  person to activate your modem and SIM card on the desired plan. 

  Always have your LTE modem’s ICCID/SIM and IMEI card numbers 

  available when discussing data plans with representatives.
D.  DATA PLAN PRICING DEPENDS ON YOUR CELLULAR ACCOUNT

  In large part, the price of data plans for the WiFiRanger LTE modem may 

  be affected by your cellular account type and other data plan(s) on your 

  account. In some cases, the WiFiRanger LTE modem will require having 

  a data-only plan that is separate from the data plan attached to your 

  smartphones or other devices. Checking with your carrier on costs will 

  help you to understand how the carrier will handle the WiFiRanger LTE 

  modem pricing and data amounts available.
E.  UPGRADING FROM NON-LTE WIFIRANGER TO LTE MODEM MAY 

  REQUIRE ADDITIONAL STEPS

  If you are upgrading a from a non-LTE WiFiRanger router to an 

  embedded LTE modem, please be sure to click Check for Updates on 

  the WiFiRanger Control Panel after installing the modem or upgrade kit. 

  If you are experiencing problems or have questions about the new 

  LTE modem, contact WiFiRanger to assist in getting your WiFiRanger 

  configured to support the new modem. Our contact info is listed on 

  the bottom of this guide.
F.  CHANGING CELLULAR CARRIERS SHOULD ONLY BE DONE AFTER 

  VERIFYING SUPPORTED BANDS

  If you plan on changing cellular carriers, ensure that your modem 

  supports the necessary bands. Supported bands listed below:

Identify modem model on Setup tab of Control Panel under Cellular settings (shown on next page).
