In order to set up an APN for a 4G LTE modem:

  1. From a device linked to the modem, open a web browser. The device can be either a client from a router that is linked to the modem or a computer that is directly connected to the modem.
  2. Enter http://192.168.5.1 in your web url bar.
  3. Enter the modem password in the Sign In the area, then press the Sign In button. Password is the standard password (case-sensitive).
  4. APN may be found under Settings > Mobile.
  5. Click the Add button to add a unique APN profile.
  6. Click the Save button after entering the new APN profile’s settings.

What is the difference between an LTE router and a Wifi Router?

LTE’s range is almost unlimited because it can only be accessed via a mobile device. As long as your provider offers service where you are, you can browse the web whenever you want, whether you’re at home or travelling. Wi-Fi, on the other hand, can only operate within a fixed area, therefore its range is constrained by the capabilities of the router.
