1. Access the Router Interface

  1. Insert the Wave Connect SIM card into the SIM card slot on your TL-MR6400 router.

  2. Connect your computer or mobile device to the router (either via Wi-Fi using the default network name/password or via an Ethernet cable).

  3. Open a web browser and enter the router's default access address, usually 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1.

  4. Log in using the Admin Password you set up (or the default credentials if you haven't changed them).


2. Create a New Connection Profile

Navigate to the network settings to create a custom profile.

  1. Go to Advanced > Network > Internet (or sometimes Dial-up or Profile Management).

  2. Look for the "Profile Name / Management" section and click on "Create" or "Add New".

3. Enter Wave Connect APN Settings

In the new profile configuration screen, enter the following details:

Note: The Data Roaming setting must be Enabled for the Wave Connect SIM to connect properly.

4. Save and Apply the Profile

  1. Click "Save" or "Apply" to store the new profile.

  2. In the Profile Management list, select the newly created Wave Connect profile.

  3. Click "Set as Default" or "Connect" to activate the new settings.

Your TP-Link TL-MR6400 should now attempt to connect to the mobile network using the Wave Connect settings. Check the router's status page or the LED indicators to confirm a successful connection.
