AT&T MR5100 - Edit APN?

Post by jmjudd99 »

Does anybody know how to edit the APN on the AT&T-branded Netgear MR5100? I am stuck with the given APNs "Broadband" (This one works) and "NRBroadband" (This one does not work). I would like to try "NXTGENPHONE" and "ENHANCEDPHONE" but, the modem will not allow me to add the APNs to the modem. Does @Rich Hathaway provide this service?

So it appears the newer firmware build has the apn editing blocking the way I was writing the apn to it so now made a new way to do it that seems to be ok now, it is only a soft code method, I will have to work on hard coding it when I have some more time

The only drawback I see so far is you have to deal with it telling you that it has updated every time you log into the admin page like the photo below.

Hi @Rich Hathaway , is this something you'd be able to assist with? Running into the same issue with an MR5100. I tried to PM you but it wouldn't go through.

Sure, you can get my email in my signature or just search the web I am not hard to find.
