Tap

Network Mode

and select the type of mobile broadband network that the

device can connect to (for example, Auto, WCDMA Only, LTE only, etc.)

Note:

For most users, it’s best to leave the default setting (Auto). When this option is selected,

your mobile hotspot connects to the fastest service available. If you change this setting, the

mobile hotspot will not be able to connect if the option you choose is not available. For example, if

you select LTE only and you are in an area where there is no LTE network available, the mobile

hotspot will not be able to connect to a mobile broadband network until you change this setting.

Note:

To connect to a specific network while roaming, use the Scan option from the Homepage

(see
