Configuració
Instal·lació de la targeta SIM
The NETGEAR Beam 340U requires an active AT&T Standard size SIM card for operation. The SIM card is not included with the device. You will need to contact AT&T to acquire your complimentary SIM card, which is typically provided free with the activation of an account.
