How to configure the ZTE MF258 router and where can I find the APN settings?

How do I change the APN on a ZTE MF258 router so it uses DATA instead of INTERNET?

On this firmware, you may not be able to change the APN from the normal admin account because the Settings → Network → APN management tab is missing; access to APN profiles is reportedly available only from the smartadmin account, and on the T-Mobile B04 firmware the APN may not be editable at all [#19495640][#19495964] Look in the WAN/connection settings for an APN profile or access point entry, but if that menu is absent, you will likely need to ask T-Mobile or ZTE for the correct configuration [#19495054][#19495534][#19495964]

    In the connection settings (access point) you probably put some screenshots.

    What do you have in WAN settings?
    You need to search for an APN profile.

    In this FW version, the Settings-Network-APN management tab is missing, the same was true for WF830 / 860, access to this option has been added to the smartadmin account, you are logging in as admin as standard?

    I do not know the FW for T-mobile for this equipment, but as far as I know, B04 has a selection of LTE bands from the admin position, but it is not possible to change the APN, you have equipment from T-mobile, they sold you an offer with public IP, so ask them or contact ZTE Polska via their Mesenger.
    You have sufficient signal parameters on LTE2100 / 1800 from BTS Józefowo.
