Do Wi-Fi Routers Have SIM Card Slots?

Most routers don’t have SIM card slots. That’s because they don’t need them.

SIM cards are used to connect to cellular data networks, and most routers connect to the internet over a wired connection.

There are a few exceptions, however. Some routers are designed for use in areas with spotty or no wired internet access.

These “mobile hotspots” typically do have SIM card slots, so that they can connect to the internet via a cellular data network.

If you’re not sure whether your router has a SIM card slot, check the user manual or contact the manufacturer. Most routers that have SIM card slots also have a slot for an SD memory card.

This can be used to store files and share them over the router’s Wi-Fi network.
