Hi there,
For APN settings please see our dedicated Help page at https://ee.co.uk/help/mobile/fix-problem/Managing-APN-settings.
This Help page will give you the link to download the correct APN settings for your device. It will also give you a step-by-step guide for the most modern devices.
Below is a list of EE APN settings for manual input if you need them.
iPhone
You cannot update/change APN settings on an iPhone as these are locked out by the network and are updated via carrier updates.

The settings option may differ depending on the device you are using,
At this point, you should insert a new APN for EE. Use the following.

MMS proxy: 149.254.201.135

@Sean_D : The old "EE APN Settings: Where to find them" are still useful to users of mobile routers which your link does not cover.

Users of a VPN might find the following of use.
If you're tethering to your phone's mobile connection from a PC or Mac and if you use a VPN service, then you might run into problems.
The default EE connection used IPv6 whenever possible, but many VPN packages have difficulty with this and only work with IPv4. What you have to do in this case is create and use an APN that restricts itself to IPv4.
The following instructions will work on a recent Android phone. If someone would like to chip in and give the same instructions for fruitphone, that would be most welcome.
Go into Settings > Connections > Mobile networks > Access Point Names
Tap on "Add" at the top-right and provide the following information (note that "Not set" or "Unspecified" means you should leave the setting alone at its default for a new APN):
Name: IPv4 (it's freeform but this makes most sense)
APN: everywhere
Proxy: Not set
Port: Not set
Username: eesecure
Password: secure
Server: Not set
MMSC: Not set
MMS proxy: not set
MMS port: Not set
MCC: 234
MNC: 30
Authentication type: PAP
APN type: Internet
APN protocol: IPv4
APN roaming protocol: IPv4/IPv6
Bearer: Unspecified
Mobile virtual network operator type: Not set
The APN roaming protocol setting allows you to still use IPv6 while roaming. The fact that it won't work with a VPN while tethered doesn't matter because you can't tether while roaming anyway.
Once you've finished, click on the 3 vertical dots menu and select "Save". Done. You now have an APN that will allow your VPN service to work. When you need it, just go back to this same settings page and tap on "IPv4". Your connection will drop for a couple of seconds and then re-establish itself with the IPv4 APN. You can now activate "Mobile hotspot" and use the connection through your VPN service.

Have you got the APN for the netgear nighthawk M1 mobile router please?

@andymac7up : Try copying those for a mobile phone, in as far as it goes.

I have Huawei b900-230 4g router but the apn settings are limited only to name username password, if I ring EE amd ask them to stop ipv6 for my sim would it work? I'm having issue to connect my home monitoring cameras and Alexa to the network I guess that might be the reason.

@aido91 : In what way won't these devices connect? Is it they connect to the WiFi OK but can't get on the Net?
24-11-2022 06:46 PM
@XRaySpeX Some devices and VPNs don't play nice with IPv6 and don't fall back to IPv4 for some reason. It could have something to do with this. It's the very reason why I had to create a new APN that was IPv4 only and posted the details in this thread.
