Enter the SIM PIN

  1. Check Networking > Mobile Network > Setting > APN Setting. For a public-network SIM, select NSA (Public Network). For a private 5G SIM, select SA Profile and verify the APN name.

APN settings

The Mobile Network Is Connected but Has No IP Address

  1. Verify the APN and SIM settings under Networking > Mobile Network > Setting.
  2. If they are correct and the issue continues, radio signal quality may be poor.
  3. Make sure the LTE antennas are firmly connected, and move the device to an area with better reception.

Mobile network without an IP address

A Private 5G Network Is Unstable or Reports “UE Deregistration”

If OOS obtains an IP address from the 5G core and immediately releases it, or the core reports UE Deregistration, keepalive may be failing.

  1. Go to Networking > WAN > Multiple WAN > Interface > Action and verify the Ping Target.
  2. For a private 5G network, use the local 5G gateway IP.
  3. If the 5G network has internet access, you may instead use a public DNS server such as Google DNS at 8.8.8.8.
