How to Enable Data Roaming on the TP-Link 5G/4G Router

Data Roaming allows the router to use a compatible partner mobile network when the SIM card is outside its home network coverage. Enable this option only when your mobile carrier and service plan support roaming.

Key Takeaways

• Enable Data Roaming only if your carrier and mobile plan support it.
• On 5G routers, go to Advanced > Network > Internet > Mobile WAN.
• On 4G routers, go to Advanced > Network > Internet.
• Disable Data Roaming when it is no longer needed to avoid unexpected charges.

Requirements

• Ensure that your TP-Link 5G/4G router has an active, compatible SIM card installed.
• Confirm with your mobile carrier that data roaming is enabled for your plan and destination
