APN Setting

Accurate APN settings are crucial for successfully establishing connectivity on a mobile network.

APN, short for Access Point Name, acts as the gateway for the router to access a carrier's cellular data network. The OutdoorRouter firmware can auto-adapt for many major networks. However, some carriers or data plans require entering specific custom APN settings. Please refer to the steps below to change the APN settings on the Mobile interface.

Change APN

After logging into the router admin, go to "Network > Interfaces" and click the "Edit" button on the Mobile interface.

Select the SIM1/SIM2 tabs to set the APNs respectively. The router uses "Primary SIM1" on default settings. Refer to the chart below to set APN parameters.

APN	The APN gateway address
PIN	PIN code of SIM card *Usually non-required
Username	PAP/CHAP Username
Password	PAP/CHAP Password
Authentication type	Usually use PAP
IP connection type	Usually use IPv4 only

Click the "Save & Apply" button on the bottom right corner to apply the new settings. It will jump back to the interface overview page.

The router takes a few seconds to reconnect. We suggest rebooting the router after changing the APN parameters.
