MR1100 on T-Mobile
I had service on a ATT tablet plan and had good speeds. With ATT discontinuing the plans I have now got a plan with T-Mobile. I have good signal but the speeds are terrible compared to what I got wit...
It is a plan that OTR Mobile is selling that is unlimited internet. It is working with the APN set to Broadband, but the speeds are low. I have a good to excellent on LTE Band 12 and should be getting better speeds. I had a plan with the on ATT that was averaging from 70-100 and they discontinued the plan so now I have to go with T-Mobile and am getting speeds from 5-10. Big difference. It is a new plan to them so they are not much help.
What is the apn settings for broadband?
APN Name: T-Mobile
APN: broadband
PDP: IPV4V6
PDP Roaming: None
Authentication: None
Did u have to wait for a Unlock code? i put the Sim in and still have no internet. I have chaned the APN Settings and nothing. and OTR is so freaking slow. I can't even get internet on the ATT side anymore
I got mine from ATT. I called and the first person didn't have a clue what I wanted to do so I hung up and called right back and got another person that was hung up on the fact that I didn't have an ATT account. I hung up and called back again and the third person was the charm. He knew exactly what I wanted and said it would take 48 and I would get an email with instructions. I got the email a day later and put the TMobile card in and unlocked it. If you know somebody that has an ATT account they could probably get it for you easier. The next isuue is going to be that you are going to need a static ip from OTR for the nighthawk. OTR will tell you it will take 48 hours for that and they will email you. The next day I was messing with the MR1100 and reset it and found I had signal. The static ip had been assigned the next day but it was 3 days before OTR said it was ready. When I got the email from OTR I already had internet.
If I couldn't get it from ATT I was going to use a program called DC Blocker to unlock it. You buy credits which I think it less than $15 and do it yourself.
If you are unlocked and if it has been more than a day since you requested an static ip, I would remove the sim and do a factory reset on the MR1100 then put the sim back in and reboot and hook it up to your computer with ethernet cord, and go on a browser and put in 192.168.1.1 and change your router password if you want and set a password for your wifi. My APN when I installed the sim went to broadband for the APN. Everything was connected and I had internet. OTR tells you to use fast.t-mobile for the APN but that will not work on mine. b2b.static will work also. To change the apn sign into router and go to advanced settings, cellular, then you can edit it or add what you want. Hopefully this will help you out
