Power Sources
Your hotspot can receive power from any of the following sources:
• Rechargeable battery included with the hotspot
• Wall socket using the AC adapter and USB cable
• USB port on your computer
Important Account Information
Before you can set up your hotspot, you need to get a micro-SIM card and access point
name (APN):
• Make sure you get a micro-SIM card (also called 3FF) rather than a nano-SIM or
standard size SIM.
• Make sure you get a data-enabled SIM:
• Some phone SIMs work, but not all. NETGEAR recommends that you use a hotspot
or tablet SIM. Phone SIMs and hotspot and tablet SIMs look the same, but work
differently on the network.
• If you want to use 4G LTE data, make sure the service has 4G capability.
• Get the APN from the service provider:
• The APN is often listed in the literature that came with the SIM.
• The service provider website might also list the APN information.
• As a last resort, most service provider APN information is available via a web search.
For example: [Service Provider Name] APN.
Set Up and Connect to the Internet
