Most likely, the device was blocked by T-Mobile when you use the T-Mobile SIM.
Can you try the SIM card work on your phone?
Thanks

Thank you for responding. I don’t feel competent in doing that myself. I will take the router back to T mobile where they put in the chip and have them check it. besides I dont want to damage any other of my equipment.
Could you please supply me with the fault tree on this problem so I can have them help me fix it. I don’t know if they are up on this problem so any info you can supply me with so I can bring them up to date would be helpful.
Question: the chip has been in the device for over six months without a problem. Did the firmware damage the chip? What has changed to lead you to believe that the chip is the source of the problem? If we put in a new chip will the device come back with the old passwords? What will I have to do to get this back working?
Again any info you can supply me with for T mobile would be helpful. I only want to make one trip. I have already lost a day of work over this.
Regards
Alan

I had my ISP guy have another customer try this and it seems to have worked for the time being. Add another APN. APN Name "broadband", APN "broadband", PDP "IPV4", then none and none. I'm trying it now.

broadband/broadband in APN didn't work. Tried activated att sim and tmobile sim. Neither worked. This is a confirmed Netgear issue! Why?
