NETGEAR 4G LTE Modem LM1200

Internet Connection Over Mobile Broadband

By default, when the modem powers up with a SIM card installed, it automatically
searches for and connects to your network provider's mobile broadband network. This
process might take several minutes. The SIM card that is installed determines the mobile
broadband network to which the modem connects.
Note: Even though the modem might connect to the mobile broadband network of
the same service provider each time that you start the modem, the type of mobile
broadband service (LTE or 3G) to which the modem connects might differ.
If the modem does not automatically connect to the mobile broadband network after
10 minutes, the Power LED remains solid amber, and you might need to contact your
mobile service provider to get the access point name (APN) profile information and add
(see View APN Profiles or Add a Custom APN Profile on page 22) and activate (see
Select an APN Profile on page 24) a custom APN profile in the modem. If your mobile
service provider informs you that your APN profile is correct but the modem still does
not connect to the mobile broadband network, see Troubleshoot the Mobile Broadband
Internet Connection on page 79.
If you do not want the modem to connect automatically to the mobile broadband
network, change the default autoconnect option (see Manage Mobile Broadband Auto
Connect Options on page 20).
For information about your mobile service provider and the broadband connection,
see View Service Provider, Type of Service, and Signal Strength on page 56 and View
Information About the Mobile Broadband Connection on page 59.
Connect a Computer, Router, or WiFi Router
to the Modem
By default, the modem functions in Bridge mode with the IP pass-through (IPPT) enabled.
Only a single device can be connected to the Internet through the modem. (The single
device that is connected to the modem is the router, WiFi router, or computer but
depending on the capabilities of the router or WiFi router, you can connect multiple
devices to the router or WiFi router.)
