Operator selection is only available for the primary SIM card. {{#ifeq: {{{dualsim}}} | 1 |In order to specify an operator for a SIM card it must first be selected as the Primary SIM card in the [[#SIM_Management|SIM Management]] section.|}}

<b>Scan For Network Operators</b> is a function that initiates a scan for mobile network operators available in your area. To initiate a scan, press the 'Scan for operators' button. After you do, you will be prompted with a pop-up asking if you wish to proceed. This is because while the scan is in progress you will lose your data connection for approximately 2 minutes.

After the scan is complete you will be presented with a list of operators available in your area. The list provides such information as operator's name, code and network access type. You can also choose to which operator you would like to connect provided that the operator's status is not <i>Forbidden</i>.

Please note that when using either Whitelist mode or Blacklist mode, you will initially lose your mobile connection for several minutes. Also if you have your SIM card set to switch "On network denied", your SIM card may switch when using Blacklist mode

The <b>Data Connection Limit Configuration</b> section is used to configure custom mobile data limits for your SIM card(s). When the mobile data limit set for the SIM card(s) is reached, the router will no longer use the mobile connection to establish a data connection until the limit period is over or the limit is reset by the user.

Some operators block user SIM cards after a period of inactivity. The <b>SIM Idle Protection</b> tab provides you with the possibility to configure the router to periodically switch to the secondary SIM card and establish a data connection with a mobile network operator in order to break the idleness and prevent the SIM card from being blocked.

The test takes about 2 minutes, so make sure the router isn't doing anything important before you start the test because during it you will lose connectivity. It is very important to <b>wait for the test to finish before commiting any actions</b>. Commiting actions on the router during test phase you may cause the router to crash.
