APN for MR1100

My Router keeps telling me I need to setup an APN, I just made one up, I have ATT service. I could go for a few days and then I lose internet. and have to setup again or just open the router up. Is there a way to stop this from disconnecting from internet?

    Are you using MR1100-100NAS SKU on AT&T? What APN did you make up?

    Thanks

      Sorry, went in checked on my Router and it does have the SKU MR1100-100NSA.

      I need to get my router setup right, I have a Linksys Max-Stream AC4000 MU-MIMO TRI-Band Router connected to it.

       

      I can tell that the Hotspot, is messing with my internet speed, because when I have to go into it when it slows down. My speeds comes back. I currently have my APN set with Name John and ATT Broadband. but for some reason, it keeps wanting me to setup an APN, even when it is set up.

       

      Can you help me get this resolved?
