Beam Network - Configure 4G/LTE Dongle

When WiFi is weak, congested, or non-existent, 4G/LTE is a great alternative. Using your 4G dongle is simple and easy.

Preparing your 4G Dongle

  1. Insert your SIM card into the dongle. Some 4G/LTE dongles may not require a separate SIM card in which case you may skip this step.
  2. Insert the dongle into a PC and enter your PIN code to log in for the first time (you may need to enable roaming at this step). Disregard for previously established accounts.
  3. Safely eject the dongle from your PC. The dongle is now ready to use with your Beam.

Connect your Beam

  1. Power on your Beam.
  2. Connect the dongle to an available USB port. See below for port locations:
    Beam Standard and Enhanced: Under the Beam screen near the navigation camera
    BeamPro: Behind the hatch at the back of the BeamPro head
  3. Within 30 seconds, you will notice an icon in the upper right corner of your Beam screen indicating that a 4G/LTE connection has been established.

*Tip: If the Beam fails to connect, try manually pushing the Beam to increase signal strength.
