Cradlepoint E300EU APN Settings
This guide outlines how to setup a Cradlepoint E300EU for OmniSIM
Cradlepoint E300EU
Advice
To get OmniSIM working optimally with Cradlepoint routers, we have compiled the following guide, as there are some challenges in how SIMs are configured in the device. The following tasks should be undertaken:
Ensuring that the correct APN is manually pre-configured in the connection manager prior to use. This is a basic task, but it prevents the device from being considered truly “plug and play”.
When using the device in Dual-SIM Configuration (2 SIMs at once), IMSI switching for OmniSIM Reach may take longer than 90 seconds, which is not fast enough to cater for the reboot timer.
Therefore use of OmniSIM Reach in this Dual-SIM configuration is not recommended.
Super SIM and OmniSIM Rush however do successfully switch in time, so we may recommend these products for Dual-SIM use.
Connecting to router
Connect your PC to Ethernet port of the router
By default router will assign you the IP address in 192.168.0.0/24
Open any modern browser and try to open http://192.168.0.1
Finally login to console with the default username admin and the password stored on the sticker on the bottom of the device
