2. Connect the supplied RJ45 Ethernet cable from one of the yellow Ethernet ports (1-4) on the back of the
NL1901ACV to your computer.
3. If you intend to use a cellular connection as a backup, insert a SIM card (in 2FF format) in the direction shown in the diagram on the next page, then attach the 4G/LTE antennas by turning them in a clockwise direction on the antenna sockets, as shown in the diagram on the next page.
4. Connect the included power adapter to the Power jack of the NL1901ACV and then plug it into an available wall socket. Press the ON/OFF button to power the router on. The Power light illuminates in red. When the
