NETGEAR AirCard Router — Configuration Guide
IQ Mobile has never officially sold the NETGEAR AirCard and cannot guarantee this guide remains 100% accurate — recent firmware updates may have changed the interface. IQ Mobile cannot offer support on this device.
Step 1: Unbox and Insert SIM
Verify all components are present: Router, Battery, Charge cable and back cover, Quick start guide.
The device requires a Micro SIM card. Extract the middle-sized SIM from its original housing. Note the corner cutoff that allows the SIM to fit into the metal housing with proper alignment.
Step 2: Reassemble the Device
- Insert the battery, ensuring gold pins align with router pins.
- Note the information on the interior sticker.
- Replace the back cover.

| Security Key | WiFi password needed for device connections | 98721326 |
| Password | Admin password for accessing device settings (case-sensitive) | password |
Step 3: Power On and Connect to WiFi
This is an important step — many people try to configure these devices without connecting to its WiFi first.
- Open the Wi-Fi menu on your device.
- Locate the NETGEAR network name from the sticker.
- Enter the security key when prompted.
Step 4: Access the Interface
The setup screen should appear automatically upon WiFi connection. If not, type netgear.aircard/index.html into your browser's address bar (not the search field). Log in with the password from the sticker.
