This guide explains how to change the APN settings on a Nova 4G router. Correct APN configuration is necessary for proper internet connectivity.
Why is this important?
Setting the correct APN ensures your router connects quickly and reliably. If the APN is wrong, the router will not access the mobile network.
Materials needed
- 4G router powered on
- Computer or smart device connected to the router (via cable or WiFi)
- Access to a web browser (e.g., Chrome, Edge, Safari)
Step 1: Log in to the router’s admin panel
- Connect your device to the router.
- Open a browser and enter the router’s IP address (common: 192.168.8.1 or 192.168.1.1).
- Log in (username and password are often admin/admin, unless changed).
Step 2: Locate the APN settings
- Go to Settings, Network, or Mobile Network (exact names vary by model).
- Select APN or Access Point Names.
Step 3: Edit the APN fields
- Enter the following:
- APN: internet.nova.is
- Username: (leave blank)
- Password: (leave blank)
- Save the settings.
Step 4: Restart the router
- Click Save or Apply.
- Restart the router to activate the changes.
Summary
By following these steps, you ensure your Nova router is set up with the correct APN. If issues persist, double-check your entries.
Next steps
- If you have no connection, reset the router and recheck the APN.
- Refer to your router’s specific manual or contact Nova support for more help.
