Approved Routers on the MTN Network

You can use your own router with an Mweb MTN LTE SIM-only Product, but only if it's on MTN's approved list: Huawei 5G CPE Pro 2 and 5G SIC; ZTE MC801A, G5B, G5C, G5TS, MC888 5G and MC888D 5G; Nokia FastMile 5G Gateway 3.2; and Brovi 5G CPE 5 H155-381. Routers that aren't on the list won't connect, and using one can get your SIM locked. If your Product includes a free-to-use router, we'll send you one that's already approved. On your own router, set the APN to ws.is.fwa.

Using your own router with an Mweb MTN LTE SIM-only Product? It needs to be on MTN's approved list, or it won't connect.

Your Router Options

• Get a router from Mweb: if your Product includes a free-to-use router, we'll send you one that's already MTN-approved.
• Use your own router: only if it's on the approved list below.

Which Routers Are Approved on the MTN Network?

If your router isn't on the list, it won't connect, and using your SIM in an unapproved device can get your service locked. Choose an approved router when you sign up instead.

Using Your Own Approved Router?

You'll need to add the Mweb MTN APN before it can connect. Set the APN to ws.is.fwa and leave the username and password blank.
