APN Settings

1. If you encounter issues with internet connectivity or tethering while using WILLER eSIM, please check your APN settings.

* In most cases, APN settings are configured automatically on iOS, so manual setup is not required.
* Depending on your device model, the APN may be displayed as a default option automatically, but 5G connectivity might not be available. If this occurs, please select "4G" in your cellular settings to enable the connection.

2. For some models, if you wish to use tethering, you may need to manually add ",dun" to the "APN Type" field (as it may not be automatically included even when other settings are applied.)

* If the "APN Type" field already contains other text, do not delete it. Simply add ",dun" at the end of the existing text.
* If you see the error message "Your carrier does not allow adding APNs of type dun" after entering ",dun," please try entering it in uppercase as ",DUN" instead.

3. KDDI APN settings are configured automatically. However, if APN settings from another MVNO or carrier remain on your device, please delete them using the following steps.

[Settings] > [General] > [VPN & Device Management] > [Delete Configuration Profile]
* Name varies by MVNO

APN Name: au5g.au-net.ne.jp
Username: user@au5g.au-net.ne.jp
Password: au
Authentication Type: CHAP
