MR6150 - Nighthawk M6 | Error - type #2, Reason #209
Hello,
I recently purchased a new M6 Pro (SIM-free) and normally use it on the EE network within the UK without any issues.
Today is the first time I’ve tried to use the device abroad.
Roaming is enabled both on my EE account and within the device settings.
However, when attempting to connect to a local roaming network, the device displays a warning triangle and shows the following error:
Type #2, Reason #209.
Does anyone know what this error means, or how I can resolve it?
I was wondering if I might need to manually download or update on the device the network settings for roaming?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

To give more context, I also have a new M3 and have used in the UK with no problem.
However, I am currently abroad and now get an error message 'error code 2, reason 209'.
The sim is connected to the local network with good signal strength but the M3 tells me 'mobile broadband is disconnected'.
I have removed the sim and tested it in my phone to check it works abroad and I can confirm it does.
I have also tried to log on to the router but the 192.168.1.1 won't load...odd?
How can Mark & resolve this issue please?
TIA
Talk to EE (assuming your SIM is registered with them, or the mobile operator you have your contract for that SIM card with), you very might have to enable Roaming for your SIM card.
SIM-free means, the MR6150 it isn't (and won't be) locked to that specific SIM and mobile provider.
