The Dual SIM slots enable the user to install a backup SIM card that the router can switch to in the event that the primary network on SIM 1 becomes unavailable. However, with most customers switching to multi-network SIM cards the backup SIM card feature is rarely used because the SIM card in slot 1 can switch to a different network in the event that the 4G network provider becomes unavailable.
