Tethered Connection

To connect the mobile router to the USB port on your computer:
Attach one end of the USB (type C) cable to the mobile router and plug the other
end into the USB port on your computer.
Your computer automatically connects to the mobile router LAN (local area network).
The first time you connect this way, your computer might display notifications about
detecting a new device.
Use the Touch Screen to Access the Mobile
Router
The first time you start the mobile router, you can set the admin password using the
Touch Screen or access the mobile router directly.
Note: The default password for the admin user name is unique to your device, and is
printed on the product label located in the battery compartment. We strongly
recommend that you change this password to a more secure password.If you change
the admin password during initial device setup, you must use that password to log in.
If you forget your new password, you need to reset your router to restore the default
admin password.
Use the NETGEAR Mobile App to Access the
Mobile Router
You use the NETGEAR Mobile app to set up the mobile router. After initial setup, you
can launch the app again and use it to log in to the mobile router to view or change its
settings.
