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 ...

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.

      Same issue, same behavior.

      Worked fine one day, woke up next day and now can't find sim. Restarted 4 times and now it found it but only lasted for an hour. Error 512 in the UI.

      Two other sims I have from same provider seem to work fine.
