Instructions:
Step 1:
Remove the rear cover of the MINIX NGC-5, take out the PCBA board.
Step 2:
Insert the SIM card (see below pictures)
Step 3:
Installs the 4G module right in the M.2_KEY_B port and secure it with the included screw.
Step 4:
If you have extra Antennas, attach them onto the 4G module.
And if NOT, you’re going to use the Wi-Fi antennas to make sure that the module is able to receive signals.
Please note, when you move the Wi-Fi antenna to 4G module, the Wi-Fi is still going to work, but the signal it receives is pretty weak.
Step 5:
Attach the power adapter, HDMI cable, keyboard and mouse.
Turn on the NEO NGC-5.
Install the driver for the 4G module. When finished, restart your device, then you should be able to access the Internet now.
