How to Set Up Your APN

1. Connect to Your Router

   Connect your phone, tablet or computer to the router's WiFi or plug in a network cable. The WiFi name and password are on the router's label.

2. Log In to Your Router

   Open your browser, type 192.168.8.1 in the address bar and click Log In at the top of the page. The default username and password are both admin.

3. Complete the Quick Setup

   If this is your first time logging in, you'll go through the Quick Setup. Make sure Auto-Update is enabled, save your WiFi details and set a new router login password.

4. Open Profile Management

   Click Settings at the top of the page, then Dial-up on the left and Profile Management.

5. Add the Mweb APN

   Click New Profile and enter the settings from the table above. Leave the user name and password blank, then click Save.

   

6. Set the Network Mode to 4G Only

   Under Dial-up, click Mobile Network. Set Preferred Mode to 4G only and click Apply.
