1. Install the SIM
Follow these steps to install the SIM card.
- If your Nextivity Partner has preinstalled the SIM, skip to the ‘Connect Antennas to the Router' step.
- Remove the SIM card cover by pressing a thumbnail or flathead screwdriver in the gap between the metal and plastic cover located on the left side of the unit. You should now see the edge of the silver SIM tray.
- Remove the SIM tray with the included SIM Ejector Tool by inserting the tool into the hole on the SIM tray; the tray should pop partway out. Remove the SIM tray completely.
- Insert your activated SIM into the tray. Note that the tray is notched so the card can only be inserted the correct way. Press the cover back into place.
2. Connect Antennas to the Router
Attach each paddle antenna to its respective port. Hold the antenna straight and twist the base to thread onto the connector. Do not over-tighten.
- Connect the black paddle antennas (PRI/DIV) to the PRI and DIV ports.
- Connect the white B14 antenna to the B14 port.
- Connect the gray Wi-Fi antennas to the Wi-Fi 1 and Wi-Fi 2 ports.
- Connect the GPS “puck” style antenna to the GPS port.
Connecting antennas incorrectly may damage the antenna or the MegaFi. Ensure the GPS antenna is visible to the sky.

- Connect the AC power cord to the port labeled PWR on the side of the device and plug into a wall outlet.
- After connecting the power, the LEDs will flash. The LED labeled PWR should remain green while the unit boots up. This process takes a few minutes. A successful connection is indicated by a green INTERNET LED.
If the router does not automatically connect to the network, refer to the MegaFi documentation at https://nextivityinc.com/products/megafi. A QR code for this information is present in the original document but is excluded here.

- Connect your computer to the Router via an Ethernet cable (LAN ports 1 – 4) or using Wi-Fi with the SSID and password shown on the MegaFi label.
- To configure your router settings through Mission Control, open your computer browser window, enter https://192.168.113.1, and accept any browser certificate warnings.
