{"answer":"Insert and test the intended SIM, update only to an approved firmware version, change default credentials and save a configuration backup. Configure APN, time zone, WAN failover, dual SIM, LAN addressing, DHCP, VLANs, VPNs, alerts and remote-management access as required.\n\nConnect representative equipment and test every port, antenna, digital input or relay that will be used. Simulate WAN and mobile failures, verify recovery and confirm remote access from outside the workshop network. Label the router, SIM and cables, and record firmware, settings and support details. A short bench test is far cheaper than debugging an unfamiliar unit at a remote site.","approval_status":"draft_for_dave_review_pending_public_brain_audit","approved":false,"category":"Router Setup APN and Configuration","category_slug":"router-setup-apn-and-configuration","created_at":"2026-07-07T14:40:00+00:00","daily_publish_cap":2,"date_published":"2026-07-07","display_date":"2026-07-07","drip_status":"review_seed","freshness_note":"Confirm current model specifications, carrier compatibility, stock, pricing, firmware, warranty and commercial terms directly with Comset where they affect a decision.","id":"comset-qa-084","image_ids":["comset-support-router-login","comset-support-apn-settings","comset-support-australian-apn-table","comset-category-hero-028-router-setup-apn-and-configuration"],"language":"en-AU","last_updated":"2026-07-07T14:40:00+00:00","matched_image_ids":["comset-support-router-login","comset-support-apn-settings","comset-support-australian-apn-table","comset-category-hero-028-router-setup-apn-and-configuration"],"public_brain_verified":false,"publish_status":"review_preview","published_at":"2026-07-07T14:40:00+00:00","question":"Which configuration checks should be completed in the workshop before an industrial router is sent to site?","question_intent":"public_guidance","question_type":"deployment_or_troubleshooting","real_image_mapping_status":"mapped_to_approved_comset_catalogue_v1_6","site_key":"comset","slug":"which-configuration-checks-should-be-completed-in-the-workshop-before-an-industrial-router-is-sent-to-site","source":"Comset public website scrape and stable industrial-networking explanation","source_record_ids":["comset-source-0301","comset-source-0305","comset-source-0312","comset-source-0365"],"source_type":"client_source_plus_stable_explanatory_context","source_urls":["https://comset.com.au/faq","https://comset.com.au/videos","https://comset.com.au/router-comparison-table"],"tenant_slug":"comset","updated_at":"2026-07-07T14:40:00+00:00"}
