This tutorial will show you how to turn on or off cellular network communication for your Windows 11 PC.

If your Windows 11 device doesn’t have a SIM card or eSIM, you can still connect to a cellular network by plugging in an external cellular device (also called a cellular modem or mobile broadband device). Either way, you must have a data plan from a mobile operator (ex: AT&T, T-Mobile, etc...) to connect. Turning off cellular will disconnect your PC from all cellular networks, and turn off power to the cellular device. Turning off cellular when not...
