Cellular network internet browsing

[Chakason]

Hello everyone. I need help setting up my cellular browsing network with my sim card on my laptop.  I am not able to find the cellular icon. I have tried installing some WWAN drivers but it is not being recognized by the system.

Some Windows 11 devices have a SIM card or eSIM in them that lets you connect to a cellular data network, so you can get online in more places by using a cellular signal. 

If your Windows 11 device doesn’t have a SIM card or eSIM, you can still connect to a cellular network by plugging in an external cellular device (also called a cellular modem or mobile broadband device). Either way, you must have a data plan from a mobile operator to connect. 

1. Insert your SIM card into your PC or make sure you already have an eSIM profile installed. 

2. Select the Network icon on the lower right corner of the taskbar, and then select Manage Cellular connections (>) for the Cellular quick setting. Often, you’ll see the name of your mobile operator under the Cellular quick setting.

3. If Let Windows keep me connected is turned on, you'll get connected to cellular data automatically when you're not connected to another type of network, such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet. If it’s turned off, select Connect.

4. If prompted, type your user name, password, and the access point name (APN).
