4. Install the driver. Run the supplied installer and follow its prompts. If no installer is included, open Device Manager, right-click the relevant device, select Update driver, and browse to the extracted driver folder.
5. Restart and test. Restart if prompted, check Device Manager for warnings, and configure your mobile broadband connection using the appropriate Windows settings or carrier software. Confirm that your SIM and data plan are active.

Keep the driver updated when a compatible release addresses a connection issue or improves reliability. Before you update a working installation, review the release notes and retain the previous package in case you need to roll back.
