Katalyst Kadet Setup Guide: Link
Do I need internet service for it to work?
Yes, KADET uses a SIM card (like your phone) to connect to a 4G or 5G network, such as Verizon. Once connected, it creates a secure Wi-Fi network you can use anywhere with signal.
Do I need Wi-Fi or fiber to use it?
No, KADET runs entirely on 4G LTE or 5G SIM connectivity, so there’s no need for cable, fiber, or existing Wi-Fi. Just insert a SIM card from Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, or US Cellular, and you’re up and running in minutes.
What happens if my network goes down?
KADET has two SIM slots, so if one carrier drops, it automatically switches to the backup. That means no downtime, even during outages.
Is it hard to set up?
Not at all. Just insert the SIM, plug in the router, and power it on. No complicated setup or IT team needed.
Who is this router best for?
Anyone who needs fast, reliable Wi-Fi, especially small businesses, remote offices, pop-up shops, or job sites.
How many devices can it handle at once?
Up to 200. Thanks to its Wi-Fi 6 technology and powerful dual-band signal, KADET can support homes, cafés, pop-up shops, or busy small offices without slowing down. Great for teams, families, or events.
How big is the coverage area?
Up to 5,000 square feet. KADET is strong enough to cover an entire home or small office without extenders. Walls, corners, and multi-room setups? No problem.
I live in a rural area, are there any signal enhancement options to boost the signal?
Yes, you can pair the KADET router with the Katalyst Siren 4-Lead antenna, and it will boost signal in rural areas.
What is KCloud and how does it work?
KCloud is Katalyst's Network management software which comes free when you purchase a Katalyst device. Manage your devices remotely via a web browser or with the KCloud App. You can find more info here: Link
