6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Basic Internet Configuration

After logging into the web interface, the router should automatically detect your SIM card's network settings. If not, navigate to the Internet Settings or WAN Settings section to manually configure the APN (Access Point Name) provided by your cellular service provider.

6.2 Wi-Fi Settings

In the web interface, go to the Wi-Fi Settings or Wireless Settings section. Here you can:

• Change the Wi-Fi network name (SSID).
• Change the Wi-Fi password for security.
• Enable or disable Wi-Fi.
• Adjust Wi-Fi channel and mode for better performance.

6.3 Voice Service (VoLTE)

To use the voice service, connect a standard landline phone to the RJ11/TEL port on the rear of the router using the provided phone cable. Ensure your SIM card plan supports VoLTE. You can then make and receive calls through the connected phone while simultaneously using the internet.

6.4 Data Traffic Monitoring

The Tenda 4G06 allows you to monitor and manage your data usage. In the web interface, look for a Data Usage or Traffic Statistics section. You can set a monthly data limit, and the router will automatically disconnect from the network once this limit is reached, helping you avoid unexpected charges.
