1.2 Applications for the Zyxel Device
Wireless WAN
The Zyxel Device can connect to the Internet through a SIM card to access a wireless WAN connection.
Just insert a SIM card into the SIM card slot on the Zyxel Device.
Note: You must insert the SIM card into the card slot before turning on the Zyxel Device.
Internet Access
Your Zyxel Device provides shared Internet access by connecting to a cellular network. Connect the
LAN port of the Zyxel Device to an indoor gateway/router through an RJ45 cable to allow multiple WiFi
clients to access the Internet.
A computer can connect (with Ethernet cables and a PoE injector) to the Zyxel Device’s LAN port for
configuration via the Web Configurator.
Wireless LAN (WiFi)
The Zyxel Device WiFi is for local management so you cannot access the Internet through WiFi. Connect
a computer/smartphone to the Zyxel Device’s WiFi and use the Web Configurator to configure your
Zyxel Device.

Figure 2 Zyxel Device’s Configuration Through WiFi Connection
Carrier Aggregation
Carrier Aggregation (CA) is a technology to deliver high downlink data rates by combining more than
one carrier in the same or different bands together.
