I only received 1 LAN cable in the box but I need 2 to do the setup. Am I missing a cable?
No. The Yellow LAN cable supplied with your router is to connect your computer/laptop to the router during setup.

If you can’t find a second LAN cable to connect your router to your laptop for the setup, you will need to do the setup over Wi-Fi. Please check step 03 for more details.

For 3G/4G: Please contact your ISP and verify that your SIM card is active
