Getting Started
1. Insert an activated SIM.
A wireless broadband data plan must be added to your Cradlepoint AER 2100. Wireless broadband data plans are available from
wireless carriers such as Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, EE, and Vodafone. The SIM must be provisioned with the carrier. Contact your
carrier for details about selecting a data plan and about the process for provisioning your SIM.
Once you have an activated SIM, insert it into the integrated modem. Insert the SIM card into the slot marked SIM 1 (use the
other slot, SIM 2, for a secondary/backup SIM). Be sure to insert the card with the notch-end first and the gold contacts facing
down – it will click into place.

2. Attach the integrated modem.
Follow these steps to attach the integrated modem:
1. Remove the left side panel cover from the router. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screws, and use the
Multipurpose Retaining Tool (included in the router package) to remove the cover.
2. Slide the modem into the side of the router (left slot first). The protruding section of the modem fits into the groove.
3. Reattach the panel cover and screw it back on. (When necessary, remove the cover and modem using the
Multipurpose Retaining Tool.)

3. Attach the WiFi and modem antennas.
Attach the three included WiFi antennas and two included modem antennas to the connectors. Antennas are jointed, which
enables you to position them for optimal signal. To attach, hold the antenna straight and twist the base of the antenna to connect,
folding the joint if needed.
Examples of suggested antenna orientations:
Care should be taken to ensure that the router antennas are not near metal or other RF reflective surfaces.
