Scenarios

The following scenarios should assist you in enabling your router for Internet access, depending on
which type of USB modem you have inserted into the router.
If your scenario is not available in this guide, then please visit http://www.dovado.com/support for
latest update. Once the information has been inserted, the unit will automatically try to establish a
connection to the operator's network. A solid green light on the Internet LED indicates a successful
connection.

Note: Mobile operators typically have an Access Point Name (APN) as the key relevant point of
entry towards the mobile broadband network. Make sure to have the name of your APN in advance
of configuring your USB modem. If you are using any other technology besides 2G/3G or 4G, you
might not require an APN.
