Cisco 810 router setup with Verizon 4G LTE network

Hi Guys,

I have a Cisco 810 router with 4G LTE built-in, and I need to configure it to get Internet access.
I need step by step instructions for how to setup this router.
I have Verizon as my 4G LTE provider.

The physical setup will be ...

FIREWALL > CISCO 810 ROUTER > VERIZON 4G LTE NETWORK

I need the most simple configuration possible.

Thanks.

Hi Luke,
This was a great start.
I was wondering if there is a guide to configure this router specifically for Verizon.

Please find enclosed the show run with the current configuration.

Thanks.

Guys,
I was able to get it to connect to the Verizon network but now it is acting up.

Interface Cellular0, changed state to down
Interface Cellular0, changed state to up

All the time, could this be the Verizon signal or my configuration?

I'm giving you the points because it got me to a good start, but the grade is B because you never answer any additional questions.

cargex, my apologies, I missed the responses to these. From what you've stated it seems like a signal issue, I would check to validate by running the command 'show cellular 0 radio' and validate what the RSSI states, it should be below -90 and that would mean it has a good signal. If it states -125 then you potentially have a problem with the 4G card as it isn't getting a signal at all.
