Neither the Orbi LBR20 or LM1200 AT&T certified.
Having found out that after February 2022 AT&T is shutting off there 3G system I have been looking for a device that Cricket wireless (AT&T) would allow to be activated on a DATA plan. Rather annoyin...
I tested the IMEI for the LAX20 on Cricket's website. It was rejected. I bought mine on Amazon, and plan to return it tomorrow. This is very disappointing, because Cricket makes it very hard to buy a new data only device from them. You have to add a new device and line, then apparently call them to close the old line. I've attached a screenshot of the rejection.
Are there any devices out there that are compatible with Cricket? The service is great, but they haven't made it easy to switch to the new network.
These devices are certfied with AT&T and T-Mobile BYOD plans. If you have a cricket data SIM, it should work with LB and LM if you set the APN correctly.
None of these devices will be impacted by 3G phase-out in AT&T and T-Mo since they are LTE devices.
Thanks
I swear some people just can not understand what a "Whitelist" means. It does not matter if the device can work. It matters if the devices is on AT&T whitelist if it will be allowed to be activated.
It is such a simple matter to test the device IMEI with Crickets IMEI checker. It is also simple to go to ATT 3G Whitelist and see which DATA devices are on it.
It can not be argued. I do not know why Netgear did not take the oportunity of the last year to get their devices (LBR20 and LM1200) on the bloody list. g.

LM1200 is certified with AT&T and it will work with AT&T BYOD mobile hotspot data plan. This has been confirmed by AT&T and our other customers using AT&T services. As for why the device is not whitelisted in AT&T, please contact AT&T. I m just telling you the device works on AT&T.
Thanks
Please provide link to where this BYOD from AT&T for a data plan exists that proves your Netgear LBR20 or LM1200 is acceptible. I care not that it worked in the past. Lots of stuff worked in the past.
I tried contacting AT&T through their Forum as I explained in this Topic and they said it must be on their Whitelist to continue to operate after the 3G shutdown. You say it is approved to operate. Someone is misinformed.
Would I just copy the same APN settings that my current modem is using?
Yes. Please give it a try. But please makse sure your SIM data pan is not tied to a certain carrier's device promotion, such as special data plan for Samsung phone or tablet, etc. In such case, the carrier may set the SIM card only working with the device and the SIM card can't be used on other devices.
Thanks
