How to create new APN with Netgear 770S

SOLVED

DarrenM -

Thanks for your suggestion. I solved the problem: My Aircard 770S was already unlocked, this was not the obstacle. Instead it turned out that several online sites give the incorrect APN specs for Consumer Cellular. To get the Aircard 770S to establish a new APN, you have to have correct APN specs (apparently, it checks to make sure there is a carrier with those specs before it will create a new APN).

In case other Consumer Cellular customers want to be able to use an already unlocked AT&T Unite 770S Aircard, they need to input the following in the Unite Manager>Network>APN where there is a blank line below the existing APN data that you can enter information in:

APN name: CC Network

and then in the column immediately to the right: ccdata

Once this information is entered, click on the + sign, and a new APN is created.

You then need to remove your old SIM card and insert your new Consumer Cellular SIM card, go back to the Unite Manager > APN, and click the button to the left of the APN for Consumer Cellular.

You should then be connected to Consumer Cellular's network. If not, try rebooting your Aircard.
