MR6150 APN error 512 and intermittenly not finding sim

Hey, I have the Nighthawk MR6150 and it worked pretty flawlessly for a couple of months. But recently now it started getting the APN 512 error maybe once a day, but now it wont really stay on longer than 10-15 minutes. If I reboot it it usually just wont find my sim card, so I gotta unplug and replug the power a couple of times before it finds my sim. It might be a sim issue, but that worked fine before the errors started popping off.

I have tried manually setting the APN, but that doesnt really seem to do anything. I also tried a factory reset, didnt really work. Im out of ideas, so if anyone got any suggestions please let me know.

    Hi Grapsen

     

    Please provide the following information: 
    - Internet Service Provider
    - Firmware version

     

    Kindly insert the SIM card to a different device (mobile phone) and check if it will work.

      Im using Talkmore, and Talkmore is using Telenor's network. The firmware is: NTGX65_12.01.48.00. The sim card works in a mobile phone.

        Hi Grapsen

         

        Kindly contact your Internet provider and check what is the correct APN and if you are using the correct data plan.
