Connecting a mobile wifi using sky sim on a TP link M7350

[Isabellech]

Hello Preddys, I am planning to buy a TP Mifi router and since I rolled loads of data was planning to use my current mobile phone sky SIM card. How easy was it to make it work? Need to get this right as going to France in 3 weeks and will need to work on the road from place to place, thxs a lot isabelle

Hi Isabellech

ita fairly straight forward.

you'll need to download the TP app to your phone then connect to the device though you phones wifi.

once connected go into settings then apn and input the following.

Select Tools - Internet settings - APN management

Click + in the top right hand corner

Enter the following:

Profile name - sky

APN - mobile.sky

leave everything else blank

Click done

restart and you're device should be working.

hope this helps 

Regards Brian

Thanks so much for this @Otley1 . I've spent hours trying to research ways to fix this, but it's now sorted! such a simple thing, and frustrating that Sky don't provide this information.

Many thanks for the message - delighted its working

Yes i agree its a shame taht Sky can advise - its a simple standard set of details that anyone could easily do

I have used the following on the Apn 
Sky

mobile.sky

and still cannot get the TP-Link 7350 to connect to the internet

Any more ideas ?

Try this:

Name: Sky Mobile Internet

APN: mobile.sky

[Pete+Caton]

Thanks, but the Tplink doesn't seem to allow spaces in the Sky Mobile Internet ?

The original post i shared had the exact details that i used and it worked for me and others - i am not sure what else might be worth trying.

Hi I’ve put a sky sim in my HUAWEI mobile router it’s activated all lights on the router but I’ve got no internet am I assuming that it’s not going to work so should cancel my sky

Follow the instructions in the initial post

I had a similar problem as i did with a previous box and the way to resolve it is to do the following

1. Open up the TP Mini app

2. Select Tools - Internet settings - APN management

3. Click + in the top right hand corner

4. Enter the following:

Profile name - sky

APN - mobile.sky

leave everything else blank

5. Press done

6. Restart the midi box and it should work fine

Can you send me more details. Having issues with it not connected to Internet 

[Otley1]

The steps I set out is the detail, there is nothing more I can add

if you follow you should resolve 

if not call sky and they should be able to advise - you might want to highlight the post to help them

Thanks to this thread I was able to get a sim router working with a sky SIM. 

Many thanks.

This fix also worked for a Huawei Mi-Fi Box.  Thank you.
