Set up Home Wireless Broadband

Share This Post

Your modem will take care of the hard stuff like internet settings, but we’ll need your help to plug it in. The main cables you need will come in the box, and you can grab extra Ethernet cables from the shops if you need them. 

Note: Your 10mates 4G SIM is already inside your modem. Please don’t remove it because the SIM won’t work in other devices.

 

Choose your modem to get started:

Smart Modem Gateway VX420-G2H

How to plug in your Cube 3 modem for Home Wireless Broadband

 

  1. Find a good spot for your modem. It’s best to choose a clear, open location on a shelf or table – ideally near a window.
    You can try different spots if your first spot isn’t giving you a strong signal. Don’t put your modem on the floor or inside a cupboard because this will cause a weak signal.

  2. Use the power cable to plug your modem’s Power port into a power outlet and press the Power button on the base.

  3. Leave your modem alone for 2-3 minutes while it runs through its automatic setup.

  4. Check the 4G light on your modem. If it’s green or yellow, you’re online with a good signal and you can start connecting your devices.

  5. If the 4G light is red, try moving your modem to a different spot.

  7. Your devices will automatically connect to the best WiFi possible. If your WiFi’s running slow, check out Improving WiFi Signal.

    Please note that Home Wireless Broadband is not suitable for 4K streaming or online gaming. Learn more.
  9. Once your devices are connected, you’re good to go.
