# Milesight router and LoRaWAN gateway SIM cards

> Milesight makes compact UR industrial routers and UG LoRaWAN gateways that send their sensors' data over 4G. A ThingSIM gives each gateway its uplink on whichever UK network reaches the site.

## Setting up a ThingSIM in the Milesight router and gateway web interface

The APN goes in **Network → Interface → Cellular**.

1. Activate the SIM in the ThingSIM portal, then insert it in SIM1 before powering on, with all cellular antennas connected.
2. Go to Network → Interface → Cellular (on UG gateways, Cellular Setting).
3. Edit SIM1. In SIM-APN switch Auto APN off, enter the APN from the portal and set Authentication Type to None.
4. In SIM Setting turn Roaming on. A ThingSIM always connects as a roaming SIM and will not register without it.
5. Click Save, then Apply.
6. On routers, enable the cellular interface under Network → Interface → Link Failover.
7. Status → Cellular should show Connected.

**Two SIMs:** Two-SIM routers use one SIM at a time. Priority is set in Network → Interface → Link Failover, and each SIM can switch on data limit, dial failure or ping failure. UG gateways take one SIM.

**Checking it works:** Status → Cellular shows the current SIM, network, signal quality and monthly data usage.

## Questions

### How much data does a Milesight LoRaWAN gateway use?

Sensor traffic is small; most gateways fit in 250 MB a month, £1.20 on UK 4-network. Check usage in the portal after the first month.

### Does a ThingSIM work in a Milesight UR32?

Yes. Insert the SIM, set the APN from the portal in the cellular settings and the router connects.

Suggested plan: 250 MB, UK 4-network, £1.20 a month per active SIM, ex VAT.
