Setting up and MTN Fixed LTE
MTN Fixed LTE requires a Cat6 LTE router and won't work on a standard LTE router. Examples of which are Huawei B618, Huawei B525, Huawei B612, ZTE MF286.
The service has an unrestricted APN.
- Insert MTN LTE SIM card into the router. Ensure the SIM card is the correct size and facing the correct direction.
- Switch on the router, waiting 10 minutes before restarting it to begin the provisioning process.
- After restarting, connect the laptop/PC via the LAN connection or via wifi. The wifi name and password should be on a sticker on the underside of the router.
- Once the Laptop or PC is connected open a web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc.) Type in 192.168.8.1 in the address bar. The router will normally have a landing page address on the sticker underneath the router.
- Select the settings tab on the top menu. It will prompt for the username and password which should both by default be -
- Username: admin
- Password: admin
- Once into the settings page on the left-hand menu, select "dial up" and under the drop down select "profile management."
- Select new profile and under name, type in: axxess and under APN: ws.yourfixedlte.fwa
- Select save
- Make sure the profile is selected from the drop-down menu and click apply.
- Please restart the device again.
- Connect to the internet.
If connection fails, attempt steps 10 & 11 periodically over the next 24 hours.
If the router is being connected to a firewall you will still need to set it up with DMZ, etc.
