Hi Chris_Nura, we can understand your concern with getting your device connected to our network and want to provide you with all needed information.

AT&T uses a variety of technologies and frequencies to support our network.

We highly recommend Requirements to enjoy the 4G LTE network experience to confirm your device is compatible in the U.S. then Program data settings for a non-AT&T device to compare APN settings. 

Please be advised that our network only supports the "Elevate 4G (AC754S)" internet device from Sierra Wireless. (Feel free to check your device compatibility online)

Also, Have you tried programming your data settings to Broadband? If not, we suggest giving it a try. 

In addition, you can check out Mobile Hotspot Solutions to find out why you may be having trouble with your connection and, check the link for APN SETTINGS.

Let us know how this helps! For any further assistance, we are here to help.

@ATTHelp 

Thanks for your reply!

We have try "broadband" already , and it only connect  4G LTE .

And our device will auto load APN "nrbroadband" when insert AT&T sim card.

We want directly use "nrbroadband" to connect to internet .

Questions are :

1. Is APN "nrbroadband"  5G NSA? And is our AT&T sim card need add some special 5G provision , and then APN "nrbroadband" can be used ?

 

2.Our test area is near San Francisco Bay Area , is the area working with APN "nrbroadband"?


Many thanks!!
