Set Data Plan on unlocked Netgear Unite Explore AC815S

I have an unlocked (from AT&T) Unite Explore AC815S and using it while living in a country in central Africa.  It works fine on the cell system here, but I can't seem to set the limits of my data plan.  Does someone know how to set one's data plan on an unlocked AC815S?

    Hi barely_human,

    What are you exactly meaning when you say set the limits of your data plan? also the meaning of setting a data plan?

    Please let me know :]

      What I'm asking is...on an unlocked AC815S, and using the device on the pay-as-you-go cell network here in our African country, how do I enter the info for the data amount that I've purchased and the expiration date for that data amount, how do I enter that into the AC815S so that it will be displayed on the touchscreen of the device?  I have looked on the web-browser interface,

        but haven't found the option/screen there, and I've also tried using the touchscreen options...

       

      but no success there either.  So, if the touchscreen can display that info (which all of the online images of the device show that, then how do I enter that info into the AC815S so that it shows up?  Thanks for your help...

      Hi Jason_N, my question is...on an unlocked AC815S, and while I'm using the device on a pay-as-you-go cell network here in our African country (we work in Gabon), how do I enter the info for the data amount that I've purchased and the expiration date for that data amount? How do I enter these numbers/dates into the AC815S so that it will then be displayed on the touchscreen of the device, like it is often shown in the promotional pictures of the device?  I have looked on the web-browser interface page for the device, but I haven't found the option/screen there, and I've also tried using the touchscreen options on the device itself, but no success there either.  So, if the touchscreen can display that info (which all of the online images of the device show that), then how do I enter that info into the AC815S so that it shows up on the web-browser interface page, as well as on the touchscreen display of the device itself?  Having this info at-hand like that would be VERY helpful in keeping up with how much data is left before I have to buy more and keep my internet access working. Thanks for your help...
