Sim Card for Router
MarkJoh_2266326 The sim does not necessarily need to be in any device in order to activate it as far as I know.
However, for a router, once you have the sim inserted you will need to check that in the settings the APN is set to mob.asm.net for it to connect to Smarty. This will involve putting a specific url into your browser so that you can connect to the router and change any settings. This info should be in the manual.
Hi
Yes I have checked and I should get very good data coverage .
Do I need to put the Sim card in the router before I start the activation ?

Thanks for all your help. I should be getting the SIM card on Tuesday or Wednesday.
I'll let you know how I get on.

Sim Card activated and in router. The APN was set to auto so it connected to Smarty.
Download rate average with EE I was 2.0Mbps. With Smarty I am getting average 20Mbps. I did not need to realign the antenna to get this, so I assume EE and 3 use the same mast.
Thank you all for you help and advice.
