How to activate a new sim in MIFI

[Madmag]

Last photo doesn't show it but I had entered password as password

 

[Madmag]

Also shows that it is connected as Tesco but in mifi can’t find it and just goes back to O2 and then doesn’t work. Is it supposed to say Tesco on the midi unit

Try changing the name to Tesco Internet, other then that I can't see anything wrong, i'm using the Huawei hi link app not the AI life one.

I have tried both of above. Can’t access the old HUAWEI app and can’t remember my password etc. tried to put old app back on but it just directed me to Ai life ine

Have you changed the name to Tesco Internet?

 

[Madmag]

Yes

It’s. I good. I keep trying but each time it says I am connected to Tesco internet but won’t connect on mi-fi. Defaults back to O2 and won’t work!! Why me!!

I'm really sorry but I can't think of anything else to help, what is the model of mifi you have? I can try and find a manual to see if there is something we are missing.

No used it for Tiekom, smarty & popit

If it's like the ZTE as mentioned above I'll pulled hair out initially until I realised you can't change any apn setting whilst the data mode is active. on ZTE this is disable mobile data/data mode (breaking all internet in progress), change the apn, switch it back.

No idea if yours is similar but thought worth mentioning, as this is apparently a chipset limitation (all the suppliers use the same chips) on some mobile chipsets -> so it literlaly will set back to the default if you don't do this.

It even showed in the auto/manual APN settings, you couldn't switch between them, it would accept changes and just stay in auto mode.

Yes ZTE

Do you mean disable mobile data/data mode on the midi unit? If so how do I do that. Really appreciate all the help I am getting

Yes it's a toggle switch in both the app and the 192.168.0.1 interface. You can't change ANYTHING whilst it's on, which is likely why you having issues. Van is in storage until tonight so I can't take a screenshot, but I think theres one above, as someone else above had same issue. Why the ZTE manual isn't clear on you not being able to change a thing whilst the data connection is on is VERY annoying.
