Overview

This device allows you to share a secure mobile broadband internet connection
using Wi-Fi or an ethernet cable. Wi-Fi enabled devices (PCs, smartphones,
tablets, gaming devices, etc.) can access the internet by connecting to the
Cat4 Router. To get the best signal, the ideal place for your device will be near
a window. Try a few different locations until you find the one with the best
signal.

Restricting Data Usage

Configuring your iPhone/iPad

Setup Low Data Mode

You should definitely turn on LOW DATA Mode on your new WIFI connection.

From your IOS device:

  1. Go to Settings and tap Wi-Fi.
  2. Tap the Info button  next to the Wi-Fi network that you're connected to.
  3. Turn on Low Data Mode.

Your Low Data Mode preferences for each Wi-Fi network are kept up to date across all your devices through iCloud.


What to expect in Low Data Mode

Different apps use different ways of reducing data usage in Low Data Mode. In general, here's what you can expect:

  • Apps might stop using network data when you're not actively using them.
  • Background App Refresh is turned off.
  • The quality of streaming content might be reduced.
  • Automatic downloads and backups are turned off.
  • Services such as iCloud Photos pause updates.

Built-in iOS apps and services adapt to Low Data Mode in the following ways:

  • App Store: Video autoplay, automatic updates, and automatic downloads are turned off.
  • Music: Automatic downloads and high quality streaming are turned off.
  • Podcasts: The frequency of feed updates is limited, and episodes are downloaded only on Wi-Fi.
  • News: Article prefetching is turned off.
  • iCloud: Updates are paused, and automatic backups and iCloud Photos updates are turned off.
  • FaceTime: Video bitrate is optimized for lower bandwidth.


Configure Your Mac

Mac OS doesn't have a low data mode but you can use an app called TripMode to track and limit data usage.
