Connect to a WiMAX network in a new city or area

Connecting to a WiMAX1 network in a new city

When you take your laptop to a new city or area, the first service provider with which you activated WiMAX may have a partner network, that will show up as a home network in your new area. You can connect to it as you would your home network in your previous area. If there are no partnered home networks listed in your new location, you will need to activate service with a new service provider in the new area, just as you did for the first WiMAX network service provider. To do this, see First Time Connection to a WiMAX Network.

NOTE : Activating service with a new WiMAX network service provider does not cancel or change the agreement you have with your current service provider.

1 WiMAX connectivity requires a WiMAX-enabled device and subscription to a WiMAX broadband service. WiMAX connectivity may require you to purchase additional software or hardware at extra cost. Availability of WiMAX is limited; check with your carrier for details on availability and network limitations. Broadband performance and results may vary due to environmental factors and other variables. See WiMAX Technology for more information.
