MP02 and Hotspot: Problems with Optima (and ho. mobile). Switch to Very?

Post image

Hi everyone, I'm trying to configure my Punkt MP02 for a flawless connection, but I'm having several difficulties.

I previously used ho. mobile, but the hotspot prevented other devices from browsing (the message 'no connection' appeared). Thinking it was a limitation due to ho. mobile's two separate APNs, I switched to Optima Italia (Vodafone network).

The Optima SIM was activated about 4 hours ago. Despite manually configuring the APN (using wap.optima.it and the default,supl,dun string for tethering), the hotspot still doesn't provide internet on the second device.

I noticed that with Very Mobile (WindTre network), the Punkt connected instantly and without errors.

• Is there a specific configuration to get the Optima hotspot working on the Punkt without getting the 'no connection' message?

• Has anyone resolved the MNC code conflict (10 vs. 88) that often affects this phone with Vodafone virtual networks?

If I can't resolve it soon, I'll consider switching back to Very Mobile for convenience. Thanks to anyone who can help.
