Frequently Asked Questions

Which certifications does the CR202-Lite carry?

CR202-NAC6-WLAN-B/NA-Lite (LTE Cat 6, North America) is certified with Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and FirstNet (LTE/4G), plus FCC, IC, and PTCRB. CR202-EUC4-WLAN-B/NA-Lite (LTE Cat 4, Europe/APAC) is CE-certified. The B/NA suffix indicates Battery (3000 mAh, ~8 hours runtime) or No-battery configuration. Only NA SKUs include the embedded eSIM; EU/APAC SKUs use external nano-SIM only.

Check the Network LED (Globe icon). The Globe LED must be steady for cellular to be online — green for strong signal, yellow for medium, red for weak. Blinking green means dialing up; blinking yellow or red indicates a dial error or SIM/modem issue. Off means cellular is disabled.

Power on the device. Connect your laptop via Ethernet to a LAN port, or join the default Wi-Fi SSID printed on the device label. Open a browser and go to http://192.168.2.1 . Log in with the credentials printed on the nameplate. If the page doesn’t load, set your network adapter to DHCP or a 192.168.2.x static IP.

The CR202-Lite NA SKU supports a physical nano-SIM plus an embedded Verizon eSIM. Log in and go to Network > Cellular:

  1. Set the Main SIM (Nano or eSIM) — this is the primary that dials up at boot.
  2. Tick Show Advanced Options, then Dual SIM Enable.
  3. Pick the carrier profile in Nano SIM Network Provider and eSIM Network Provider (or edit the APN via Manage).
  4. For reliable failover, set ICMP Detection Mode to Ignore Traffic, enter a reachable target in ICMP Detection Server (e.g., 8.8.8.8 ), and adjust ICMP Detection Interval and Timeout as needed. The device pings that target on the active SIM; if pings fail, it switches to the backup SIM.
  5. Click Apply.

Without ICMP detection, failover only triggers on a hard modem-level disconnect, which can miss “registered but no internet” failure modes.
