data sim not working in new outdoor router

Phild10 — Mon, 18 Oct 2021 11:13:15 GMT

Recently upgraded to a new outdoor router as the indoor one does not have enough signal strength. Put in the same EE data sim to the new outdoor router and I can connect to router via phone or computer but there is no internet on either. Put in my EE phone sim and it works fine so for some reason its not recognising the data sim?

Hi @Phild10,

Welcome to the EE Community. 🙂

Is it a brand new SIM? Does it work if you put it in your phone?

Hello @Phild10.

Thanks for getting back to us.

Where did you purchase the router?

Hi @Phild10 ,

Limited IT knowledge so set up as directed and can get a WiFi signal but no internet. Have tried sim on other devices and works fine. It's an outdoor router Mimi ezr33

Is it running OpenWRT firmware?

Do you have a link showing the configuration instructions to get to the point of WiFi working?
