NETGEAR LB1120 (LTE modem) with Google Fi

As of 2020-10-20, I was able to use the NETGEAR LB1120 with Google Fi, with a data-only SIM. The SIM was previously used (as data-only) in a phone, so there may have been some historical activation step that would be required with a fresh SIM - not sure.

For reliable operation I had to use the APN settings documented by Google:

  • Name: Google Fi
  • APN: h2g2

This is configured by heading to the admin interface of the device at http://192.168.5.1 (default password is on the label on the device).
