The Teton HD is LTE-ready, meaning that it can accept an upgrade kit with a Category 4 modem. This can be
purchased from the RV manufacturer or dealership, or at wifiranger.com/shop
WiFiRanger is pleased to provide LTE solutions that are not locked into a specific cellular carrier. This approach gives
the customer increased flexibility over other competing offerings which are tied to singular carriers or data plans. The
WiFiRanger LTE solution gives you the freedom to find the perfect plan for you. The cellular landscape is always
evolving and advancing, so our goal is to assist you in making the most of the myriad of data options available. The
following advice is to help you navigate the data plan and activation topics that are applicable to our LTE solutions. The
LTE solutions offered by WiFiRanger are subject to change based on the evolving cellular landscape.
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS
A.
Data Plan Availability Varies by Region
Some cellular carriers offer certain data plans by region. As such, you may find that the data plan that you desire is available
through a cellular reseller or representative in another area while your local representative has more limited options. Check around
or call a representative in another region if you can’t find what you want locally.
B.
SIM Card Type May A
ff
ect Data Plan Options
WiFiRanger provides standard consumer SIM cards with their LTE modems. These SIM cards may not work on business data
plans, but should support most consumer data plans. It is important to ask your cellular carrier if the SIM card you provide them
is the right kind to meet your data needs.
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.
D.
Data Plan Pricing Depends on Your Cellular Account
In large part, the price of data plans for the WiFiRanger LTE modem are 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.
