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.

LTE modem, contact WiFiRanger to assist in getting your WiFiRanger
