Troubleshooting tips

1. If you’ve accidentally entered the wrong APN on your Android or are still unable to connect to the internet after configuring the correct APN, a good solution is to reset the network settings.

This will erase all Wi-Fi, mobile network, and Bluetooth configurations, restoring them to factory defaults. Make sure to back up your Wi-Fi passwords beforehand. Next, we’ll walk you through the steps:
