1. Insert SIM Card (for LTE Connection):
   • Ensure the router is powered off.
   • Insert your Mini SIM card into the designated slot on the router.
   • Replace the cover once the SIM card is securely in place.

   Note: If using a Micro-SIM or Nano-SIM, ensure it’s inserted correctly into an adapter to prevent device damage.

• Internet LED: Blinks to indicate the router is searching for a network and turns solid when connected.
• Wi-Fi LED: Blinks slowly while connecting, then stays solid once the Wi-Fi is ready.

  Tip: The signal strength is indicated by the number of bars on the LED display—the more bars, the stronger the connection.

2. Connect a Device to Wi-Fi: Using a laptop or smartphone, select the router’s Wi-Fi network (SSID) and enter the password.
