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.
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.

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.
The table below provides commonly used APNs for major carriers, which can be used as a reference. However, the exact required APNs can vary across carrier data plans, so always double-check with your provider on the most up-to-date parameters.
