●Failover wait time — How long the device should wait, after it loses the connection with the preferred network, before it attempts to connect to the other network (not available if WAN mode is “3G only” or “4G only”).

●Switchback wait time — How long the device should wait, when the less-preferred network is connected and the preferred network becomes available, before switching to the preferred network (not available if WAN mode is “3G only” or “4G only”).

●Update 3G PRL — Check whether an updated PRL is available.

The PRL (Preferred Roaming List) is an account configuration item set by your service provider. It controls the radio channels and network carrier used by the 3G modem. An updated PRL may improve your 3G network service.

Note: A 3G connection to the Internet won’t be available until the update is complete. (The 4G connection won’t be affected.)

●Update 3G Profile — Check whether an updated profile for your 3G connection is available. An updated profile may improve your 3G network service.

●Manual Activation — Configure Data Link and the Mobile IP settings. (If you need help, please contact Sprint.)
