NETGEAR 4G LTE Modem LM1200
Introduction
The NETGEAR 4G LTE Modem LM1200, in this manual referred to as the modem, can
provide broadband data services to areas where wired Internet is not readily available
or is difficult, costly, or time-consuming to install. The modem uses existing 4G LTE
mobile networks with automatic fallback to 3G mobile networks to provide broadband
data services.
If you connect a WiFi router to the modem’s Gigabit Ethernet port, the mobile network
connection can provide high-speed Internet access for multiple users and devices in
homes and offices.
Alternatively, you can connect the modem to an existing DSL, cable, or fiber optics
gateway so that the modem can provide a backup Internet connection for your home
or office to achieve continuous connectivity.
Professional installation and configuration are not required. If a SIM card is installed
and activated, by default, the modem automatically searches for and connects to your
network provider’s mobile broadband network.
For information about installing the modem, see the quick start guide that came with
the device, and which you can download from downloadcenter.netgear.com.
In the unlikely situation that the modem does not automatically connect to your network
provider’s mobile broadband network, you might need to add an access profile name
(APN) profile. For information about adding an APN profile, see View APN Profiles or
Add a Custom APN Profile on page 22.

Power on Your Modem
To power on the modem:
1. Connect the USB cable to the Power port on the modem and to the provided power
adapter. Connect your modem
2. Plug the power adapter into an indoor power outlet
Note: We recommend connecting the USB cable only to the power adapter that
came in the package. Connecting the USB cable to a USB port on a computer might
not work correctly.
The Power LED lights solid amber and then lights solid green.
The modem searches for the mobile broadband network for the nano SIM, which
might take several minutes.
3.
Check the Signal Strength LED .
Green: The LTE connection is good
•
Amber: The LTE connection is weak. Try a different location, such as near a
•
window.
Red: The nano SIM isn’t inserted correctly, or the modem can’t automatically
•
connect to the LTE network (see Add and activate a custom APN profile).

Position the Modem
Use the Signal Strength LED on the top panel to position the modem for best
signal strength in relation to the mobile broadband network. Also for best results, place
your modem according to the following guidelines:
Place your modem close to a window but avoiding direct sunlight. A window location
•
gives the best conditions for receiving a strong 4G LTE signal.
Make sure that the modem is within reach of an AC power outlet and near Ethernet
•
cables for wired computers.
Place the modem away from electrical devices such as the following:
•
-
Ceiling fans
- Home security systems
- Microwaves
- Computers
-
Base of a cordless phone
- 2.4 GHz cordless phone
- 5 GHz cordless phone
Place the modem away from large metal surfaces, large glass surfaces, insulated

NETGEAR 4G LTE Modem LM1200
Optional External Antenna
You can purchase an external multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) antenna for the
modem to extend the mobile broadband signal range indoors or in fringe network
areas.
The external antenna plugs into the two antenna connectors on the modem to boost
speeds and extend coverage in buildings or vehicles, or in remote sites where network
coverage is sparse. You could, for example, attach the external antenna on a window
with a suction cup.

Get Started
This chapter describes how to connect to the modem. To get started, you do not need
to configure the mobile broadband connection.
The chapter contains the following sections:
• Internet Connection Over Mobile Broadband
• Connect a Computer, Router, or WiFi Router to the Modem
• Access the Modem’s Web Pages for the First Time
• Change the Language

NETGEAR 4G LTE Modem LM1200
Internet Connection Over Mobile Broadband
By default, when the modem powers up with a SIM card installed, it automatically
searches for and connects to your network provider’s mobile broadband network. This
process might take several minutes. The SIM card that is installed determines the mobile
broadband network to which the modem connects.
Note: Even though the modem might connect to the mobile broadband network of
the same service provider each time that you start the modem, the type of mobile
broadband service (LTE or 3G) to which the modem connects might differ.
If the modem does not automatically connect to the mobile broadband network after
10 minutes, the Power LED remains solid amber, and you might need to contact your
mobile service provider to get the access point name (APN) profile information and add
(see View APN Profiles or Add a Custom APN Profile on page 22) and activate (see
Select an APN Profile on page 24) a custom APN profile in the modem. If your mobile
service provider informs you that your APN profile is correct but the modem still does
not connect to the mobile broadband network, see Troubleshoot the Mobile Broadband
Internet Connection on page 79.
If you do not want the modem to connect automatically to the mobile broadband
network, change the default autoconnect option (see Manage Mobile Broadband Auto
Connect Options on page 20).
For information about your mobile service provider and the broadband connection,
see View Service Provider, Type of Service, and Signal Strength on page 56 and View
Information About the Mobile Broadband Connection on page 59.
Connect a Computer, Router, or WiFi Router to the Modem
By default, the modem functions in Bridge mode with the IP pass-through (IPPT) enabled.
Only a single device can be connected to the Internet through the modem. (The single
device that is connected to the modem is the router, WiFi router, or computer but
depending on the capabilities of the router or WiFi router, you can connect multiple
devices to the router or WiFi router.)

Manage APN Profiles for Mobile Broadband Connections
The access point name (APN) is the name of the service provider’s server that provides
access to the mobile broadband network. When you access a mobile broadband
network, an APN profile is automatically downloaded from the service provider and
configured on your modem. If you connect to different mobile broadband networks,
the modem includes various APN profiles.
Although rarely required, you can create a custom APN profile manually, using
information that your mobile broadband service provider gave you, and select the
custom APN profile manually. The modem uses the selected APN profile to establish a
connection with the mobile broadband network of the service provider.
