Settings for a tplink MR6400

[notnamedfred]

Hi, when Virgin changed my sim for an o2 sim I didn’t know I’d have to mess with the settings, I’m ok at amending stuff if I’m talked through it, I found it once but lost it again.

my tl-mr2600 recognizes the sim but not the internet, can someone please tell me the settings I have to change

The site internet is very poor, so I’m doing the best I can. Here are my settings;

status,    disconnected

mobile data,    On

data roaming,     Off

Nat,      On

network mode,    4g preferred

network,      Manual, o2-PAYG

profile name,     o2

pop type,    Ipv4

APN type,    Static

APN,    PAYG-payandgo.o2.co.uk

username,    PAYG-payandgo

password,     Password,

authentication type,    pap

what have I got wrong?

You're not on PAYG do you need to use the contract settings.

hi again, all I know is virgin swapped me to this unlimited sim a while back (this year). Over the last two years I’ve been using my sim in a tplink router (with aerial) to get a signal at our caravan site on top of a mountain/big hill in Wales. Due to illness this is the first opportunity to get here.

when I put the sim in, at first it didn’t recognise it but now it does but I couldn’t get internet hence my post.

I have entered all the values, should the APN be the same as the signal name? I have selected the o2-PAYG signal, there is no other signal for o2 but there is auto.
