Hello everyone,
My 5G EE router, model QTAD52E , is giving an INVALID SIM error with any SIM card I'm trying, even with an EE sim.
Has anyone encountered this before? Any solutions?
Maybe I need to set up the correct APN settings?
Thanks in advance for any help

Hi @HDaddict
Thanks for coming here.
Does the EE SIM card work in another device?
How long ago did you purchase the router?
Leanne 🙂

I checked the APN settings and only the dial settings had a value in it.
Do you know what values I should insert in this screen?
Thanks

Yes, your Profile is not fully populated. Refer to EE APN Settings: Where to find them to find suitable values.

I can't find the correct values for:
IP Type
Dial number
Protocol
Any ideas?

Try:
- IP Type = IPv4/IPv6 or play around with what the drop-down offers you.
- Dial No. = *99#
- Protocol = PAP
