- Insert your 4G LTE SIM card provided by your carrier. If your plan includes VoLTE, ensure that VoLTE is enabled in your carrier settings and compatible with the device’s firmware. You may need to activate data roaming or set preferred networks depending on your location. The device will automatically search for and lock to the strongest available LTE signal.
- Connect your computer, smartphone, or tablet to the Tenda 4G06. You can use the default Wi‑Fi network name (SSID) and password printed on the device label, or connect via the Ethernet port for a wired setup. Open a web browser and enter the default IP address provided in the manual or quick-start guide to access the setup wizard.
- Follow the on-screen steps to complete the setup. Choose the internet mode (4G primary or 4G backup/WAN), configure the Wi‑Fi network name and password, enable security features (WPA2), and customize guest access if desired. If you need VoLTE, enable it in the voice or mobile settings, and ensure your SIM supports this feature.
- Test the connection and save your settings. Reboot if prompted, then connect your devices to the new network. Confirm that data can be transmitted over both the wireless and the Ethernet uplink, and verify that VoLTE calls (if enabled) work as expected. Regularly check for firmware updates to maintain performance and security.
