Re: Can not connect to o2 network, APN issues

Mine worked with both 3 and o2 payg. The APN stored on my o2 sim at least was only for contract so the payg one needed to be put in manually. Think three worked straight away. There seems to be a world of difference between rebooting and power cycling. Often the latter is needed. Btw only EE seems to support IPV6 so needs to be IPV4 for 3 and O2. Getting speeds up to 260mb/s in Lambeth with EE, 15mb/s with 3. Hope this helps.

Which APN values did you use for o2 PAYG on this unit.  What is power cycling.

Think it was
Type the following:
Name: o2 Internet
APN: payandgo.o2.co.uk
Username: PAYG: payandgo
Password: password

Power cycling = powering off and on, not just a reboot .

Cheers
