Hi,

 

I recently got the above mobile broadband as the only wired boardband available in my area is 3mb at the moment. 

 

The o2 is unlimited data and goes to 50mb but any time I login to a online game like New World it will not connect..

 

Any way to allow the router to let me play games?

What type of SIM do you have, data only or a phone type? O2 don't allow the latter on their system when in a router.

 

Sounds very much like you have agr restriction turned on

See here. This guide will help you

This is not O2 and we are all customers here similar to yourself and cannot answer account type queries.

The SIM came with the device as a package. So data sim. Cant make calls. I believe I turned the age off yesterday but I know it can take 24 yours.

It could be down to how the Mobile Network routes the data using CGNAT (Carrier Grade Network Address Translation), which a lot of online games don't like, as you don't have your own IPv4 Public Address.

Have you tried to use a VPN at all to access the game?
