I bought a byop SIM card from straight talk and got the 55$ plan for unlimited data on it, it gave me a new phone number for the device so I’m assuming it’s been properly set up unless I needed to go ...

    Not yet! I just bought a router today and connected it, so my computer, phone, ect have no problem recognizing it as a WiFi opportunity to connect to, but when connected it claims it doesn’t have any internet. I know my straight talk purchase went thru and works, so I’m not sure why it’s acting like it doesn’t have any data to go thru?

      I had to change the APN. For AT&T it’s TFDATA.

      This worked perfectly for almost a week and now I can’t get an internet connection. Straight talk says it’s all good on their end. Any advice?

        Hi Mrssalvatore

         

        Please describe the LM1200 LED status (power, Ethernet LAN, Ethernet WAN, and Signal Strength). 

        Although Straight talk says it is all good on their end, kindly verify with them to check if you have the right data plan for your device.
