So, have had a TP Link MR6400 with an EE sim card for a few years and all was working fine until today.
Now, it fails to connect to the internet.
I gather that EE were doing some work in the local area very recently, possibly today but it is hard to find out.
I have two different EE sims, neither allow the router to connect. Both work in normal phones. Putting a Smarty sim in the router works fine, so it seems to be some sort of configuration connecting the router to the network.
Any ideas very welcome.

Hi @Mathemagic2,
Welcome to the Community!
We don't want you to have any trouble using your SIM in any devices. Have you checked for any service outages?

Hi, thanks for the reply - after a couple of hours getting nowhere, I thought I would wait overnight and see. This morning, still no connection but after rebooting yet again, it has been fine.
I wonder if whatever work had happened hadn't been fully finished so devices other than phones couldn't connet?
