Mobile data & SIM management page

The mobile data & SIM management page provides access to settings related to the router’s cellular connection, SIM management options and mobile data usage statistics. When a SIM card is inserted in to the router’s SIM card slot the cellular connection will be enabled. If the SIM card has a valid connection and unused data allowance the router will provide internet access to devices connected to the router’s access point and devices connected to the router’s wired RayNet network connections. The router can be configured to use dual SIM cards.

When using dual SIM cards, you can enable automatic switching when one SIM card has no network coverage or when its data limit has been reached. Use the Tick box at the top of the page to enable SIM switching.

Primary SIM: — when using dual SIM cards, the Primary SIM option determines which SIM card the router will try to use first when it is powered up.

Note

The primary SIM will be used if:

  • Mobile data is enabled,

  • The SIM has network coverage,

  • The SIM has remaining data for the current period.

If the conditions above are not met then the router will switch to use the second SIM card.

      You will need to obtain the APN settings from the SIM card network provider. You can usually find these settings by performing an Internet search; for example: “Vodafone UK APN settings”, or similar. If you are unable to find the settings on the Internet, you may need to contact the network provider of the SIM card.. If you still have problems accessing the Internet, switch the APN protocol option from IPv4 / IPv6 auto to IPv4 or IPv6. After changing the APN details, ensure that you Save the changes to the page, and power cycle the router.
