Why is the APN important
That’s how to set up Vodacom LTE APN settings on a ZTE router. But why is this important? APN stands for access point name. It’s the name of the gateway through which your device gets internet connectivity.
If you do not get the correct settings on your router, you will not be able to connect to the Vodacom internet. For mobile phones, reception of these settings is usually automatic. The moment you insert your SIM, you get the relevant internet settings.
Anyway, APN settings are important, whatever the router that you may be using. So, this is something that you will wish to get right. If you have been using your router on another network, it may be prudent to first do a ZTE router reset before setting up the default Vodacom APN. That way, you won’t have issues.
