What should I do if no APN profile or wrong APN profile is detected by TP-Link Wireless 4G LTE Router?
122139 Normally after we insert a working and compatible SIM card into the TP-Link Wireless 4G LTE Router, the corresponding APN profile will be detected automatically, thus the router will be plugged and play. However, in some cases, the SIM card itself is detected by the router but no APN profile or wrong APN profile is detected, thus internet access might not work, you could follow the solutions in this article to solve the problem.
Note: If your SIM card isn’t detected at all, it would be a different issue, please refer to: What should I do if my TP-Link 4G LTE Router cannot detect SIM card?
Solution 1: Check if there is another correct profile listed
Check the drop-down list of the Profile Name to see if there is any other available profile, if so, try other profiles to see if it solves the problem.
Solution 2: Search the network manually
1) Change Network Search from Auto to Manual
