PAYG Data Sim - TP link M7000 Mobile Mifi - Problems

[Fozzy_25]

Hi

Just purchased a data sim on pay as you go, checked and it works in phone, but I cannot get it to work in the TP Link M7000 mobile wifi unit that I need it for.

My contract mobile sim works in the M7000, so I know mobile Wi-Fi unit works.

Any solutions please, thanks in advance.

Did you change the APN on the router, @Fozzy_25 - O2 PAYG and O2 Contract use different APNs.

Thanks pgn, failed to mention my contract mobile sim is with Tesco… I did check and select o2 PAYG (defaulted to GiffGaff initially), ironically it then flipped to o2 contract I had to repeat this process a few times until it stayed as o2 PAYG selected - strange…

So all sorted now, @Fozzy_25?

If so, you are welcome 👍🏼

Sorry I didn’t make it clear, no still not playing ball even though o2 PAYG selected, rechecked, rebooted MIFI etc etc 🤬

Have you tried to create a new profile manually using the o2 PAYG APN details

• APN: m-bb.o2.co.uk
• Username: o2bb
• Password: password

The following had worked 👍👍👍

• APN: m-bb.o2.co.uk
• Username: o2bb
• Password: password

How would you know to change to this without a great forum community?

Thanks both 👍
