Failed eSIM Installation on NETGEAR MH7150 May Break WiFi Functionality

I tried installing a third-party eSIM (free mobile esim) that requires verification code .

 

However, I quickly realized:

 

The device has no interface to input verification codes

There’s no way to complete the activation flow

The installation process gets stuck halfway

 

At first, I assumed it was just a compatibility issue — but it turned out to be much worse.

 

Key Issue: Incomplete eSIM May Remain in the System

 

If the installation process is interrupted or cannot be completed:

 

The device may retain a partial / corrupted eSIM profile

 

This creates a strange state where:

 

The eSIM appears to exist

But it is unusable

And sometimes cannot be removed properly.

 

After this failed installation, I experienced:

 

WiFi signal completely disappeared (SSID not visible)
