3G And Lte Networks - NETGEAR Sprint 6100D User Manual

●
Main Wi-Fi dual-band: The gateway has two Main Wi-Fi networks, so you can connect
with 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz Wi-Fi. To connect with 5 GHz, your computer or Wi-Fi-enabled
device must support 5 GHz.
●
Modem: The modem connects your gateway to the Internet via the best available
network (customizable):
 LTE – Newer technology, faster speeds compared with 3G
 3G – CDMA technology, more widely available compared with LTE
●
Routing hardware: The routing hardware handles traffic between the modem, the Wi-Fi
access point, and the Wi-Fi network.
●
USB port: You can connect a USB drive and share it.
●
Power over Ethernet. The gateway has one fast (10/100) Ethernet WAN port that
supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), standard IEEE 803.3at-2009. The PoE port allows
Ethernet cable to provide both data connection and electrical power to the gateway. PoE
can serve as main power or backup power.
Note: You can choose to connect only PoE, or to connect both PoE and the gateway AC
power adapter. When both are connected, the gateway automatically selects PoE
power. If you remove PoE, the gateway continues to work and automatically switches to
AC power. If both are connected and you remove AC power, the gateway continues to
work and automatically switches to PoE power.

3G and LTE Networks

These wireless networks connect you to the Internet.
Depending on your coverage area, you may have:
●
Only LTE coverage
●
Only 3G coverage
●
A combination of these networks
The gateway automatically connects to the fastest network that is available to you. If you have
both 3G and LTE coverage and your connection happens to get disrupted, your gateway can
automatically switch to the other network. (For more information, see
Your gateway is designed to always connect to an available network if possible. If your gateway
is not connected (dropped signal, roaming not supported, etc.) the
LED is off. The connection status can also be seen on your gateway's
Status Details.
