Manage Mobile Broadband Auto Connect Options

By default, the modem automatically connects to your service provider's mobile broadband network. You
can change this setting so that the modem automatically connects to another type of network when you are
roaming or never autoconnects.
We recommend that you leave the default Auto Connect setting and change this setting only if a specific
reason exists. With the Auto Connect setting, the modem connects to the fastest service that is available.
If you change the setting to a specific type of network, the modem cannot connect if that type of network is
not available. For example, if you select the modem to connect only to an LTE network and you are in an
area without an LTE network, the modem cannot connect to a mobile broadband network until you change
the setting.
To specify the Auto Connect options for the mobile broadband network:
1. Launch a web browser from a device that is connected to the modem.
The device can be a computer that is directly connected to the modem or a client from a router that is
connected to the modem.
2. In the address field of your browser, enter http://192.168.5.1.
The Dashboard page displays.
Note If you did not select the Remember me check box when you logged in previously, a
limited Dashboard page displays. In the Sign In field, enter the modem password
and click the Sign In button. The default password is password (case-sensitive).
3. Select Settings > Mobile > Preferences.
4. From the Network Mode menu, select the type of mobile broadband network:
• All Bands. The modem connects automatically to the type of mobile broadband network that is
made available by your mobile broadband service provider. This is the default setting.
• 2G only. The modem functions in Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) mode only and
does not fall back to another type of service if 2G service is not available.
