Configure Your Hotspot’s Access Point Name
The hotspot autoconfigures for most mobile service providers in Europe and southeast Asia.
However, some of the smaller operators require additional configuration:
• If your mobile broadband service is working, you do not need to change or set up your
access point name (APN).
• If you’re unable to connect and you receive an error message (for example 619 or 628),
you must change your
APN. For more information, see Configure APN Details on
page 15.
You might also need to change your APN if you recently made any of these changes:
• Changed your rate plan; your APN must match your plan.
• Changed the micro-SIM card in your device.
• Began using a dif
ferent or new device.
• Changed from a prepaid to a post-paid mobile broadband of
fer (or vice versa).
Configure APN Details
Your hotspot comes preconfigured with the access point name (APN) for your network
service provider. Your hotspot checks the APN to determine the type of network connection
to establish.
