APN for Australia

To enable your tablet's hotspot, you need to add a "DUN" (Dial-Up Networking) setting to your APN configuration, which tells the SIM card to share its internet connection. Follow these steps:

  • Open APN Settings: Navigate to Settings > Network & internet (or Connections) > SIMs > Access point names (APNs).
  • Create New Profile: Tap the + icon or Add to create a new APN entry.
  • Enter APN: In the APN field, enter the data address for your specific mobile operator (e.g., telstra.internet). Leave other fields blank unless specified.
  • Set APN Type: In the APN type field, type exactly: dun (If this does not work, try default,dun).
  • Save & Refresh: Save the new profile, ensure it is selected, and then toggle Airplane mode ON and OFF to refresh your connection.
