APN Nighthawk R7100LG which APN with roaming

I am using this router only in my camper with a SIM-card, so using mobile broadband. The SIM-card is from Vodafone, the SIM pin is deacticated and roaming is on. So I am travelling through Europe passing continious different networks. My first question is whether I should enter the APN from my own provider (of the SIM-card) or that of the actual delivering provider through roaming? In case of the 2nd one this would mean that I need to change this with every change of provider. Is there another solution?

    Hi evkrieken,

     

    You should use the APN of the provider within the area since the Vodafone network is no longer available on the said country or area.
