The text next to the icon displays the connection status, for example, “No service,” or
“Connected.”
Click the icon to display the Mobile Broadband Information window. The window displays:
● The active network — the network that is currently being used for your data connection.
For example, “4G”, “4G LTE”, or “3G (EVDO Rev A).”
● 3G and 4G status. For example, “Connected.”
● Connection Preferences (if you’re logged in).
Configuring the 3G/4G Connection Preferences
The value determines which network(s) to connect to, and in what order:
● 3G Preferred — Connection can be established to either 3G or 4G; if both are available,
3G is used.
● 4G Preferred — Connection can be established to either 3G or 4G; if both are available,
4G is used. This setting is recommended if your service provider has no data limit for 4G
and 4G LTE, but does for 3G, or you want to take advantage of the faster data transfer
speeds of 4G/4G LTE.
● 3G Only — Connection can be established only to 3G.
● 4G Only — Connection can be established only to 4G or 4G LTE. (If you don’t have 4G
or 4G LTE coverage, you can save power by selecting 3G Only.)
Note: The following options are not available if 3G Only is selected.
● LTE + WiMAX — When connecting to 4G, connection can be established to either 4G
WiMAX or 4G LTE; if both are available, 4G LTE is used (unless the 4G WiMAX signal is
significantly better than the 4G LTE signal).
● LTE Only — When connecting to 4G, connection can be established only to 4G LTE.
● WiMAX Only — When connecting to 4G, connection can be established only to 4G
WiMAX.
To automatically connect to the network upon loss of connection or when the device powers on,
select Connect Automatically. To prevent this from happening when you’re roaming, also
select Disable when roaming.
Note: Disable when roaming does not prevent you from roaming; it only prevents a
connection (that was lost while roaming) from automatically being reestablished.
