AT&T 100GB Hotspot Plan -- Modem?
Posted: Mon Jul 19, 2021 10:16 pm
Today I signed up for the AT&T 100GB hostspot plan ($55/month). Can anyone suggest a good modem that will work?
I tried 4 Sierra Wireless devices with awful results : I know the APN should be "broadband":
* EM7565 : will not connect
* MC7511 : will not connect
* MC7455 : will not connect
* Cradlepoint CBA850 (MC7455) : connects but is running different firmware than the MC7455 above
I want to use the EM7565 which, when running the AT&T firmware, has this auto-configured:
The Cradlepoint uses this:
So I changed the EM7565 to use the Cradlepoint settings and it still doesn't work. I also tried many variations.
What is interesting is that I still have an active $35 AT&T iPad plan -- that I think they'll kill any day now -- and the SIM card for that works absolutely fine on the MC7511. I originally activated it on the MC7455 long ago and then SIM swapped it over to the MC7511.
The Cradlepoint works, but I don't want to use the Cradlepoint.
Frustrating....
