    Reset the thing to get ot back to factoiry defaults.

     

    Then set it up from scratch with the new provider.

     

    If you visit the support pages:

    Support | NETGEAR

    you can feed in your model number and find the documentation for your hardware.

    If you need more help, you might get better and quicker replies, and find other answers, over in the appropriate section for your device. That's probably here:

    Mobile Routers, Hotspots & Modems
