Use "Rakuten UN-LIMIT" on a mobile Wi-Fi router (failure article)

 In the proficiency section, it explains how to improve the airwaves of their own Wi-Fi, but as a special article, it explains how to use mobile lines to build an Internet connection environment for people who must urgently prepare Internet lines at home in order to deal with novel coronavirus's infection (COVID-19). There is no need to wait for line construction. In short, mobile lines are very useful when they are in a hurry to introduce them.

"make your own Wi-Fi 's'I don't know 'happy! A list of serial reports of skillful articles

 Until last time, the skillful use of fixed Wi-Fi router was introduced. From this time on, we will see the skillful use of portable compact Wi-Fi routers.

 In the fixed type or the compact type should choose which one, the 25th "remote working network line, in a hurry to prepare the method?" "I have already come into contact with it, and I hope you can refer to it.

 However, to put it simply, the big difference is whether the cable LAN that can be stably connected here can be used, and the compact type is based on outdoor use, so the active use of the 5 GHz band needs to be limited.

 In other words, if you want to communicate steadily with your family and other people at home, you can choose a fixed type, and if you have no other users in your life, you can take it with you and choose the compact type that is often used.

据え置きタイプとコンパクトタイプのモバイルWi-Fiルーター

 If it is a compact mobile Wi-Fi router, it can be purchased with the line contract or prepared separately. Most Wi-Fi routers are free SIM cards and do not have SIM cards, so choose your favorite data line and add another SIM contract if you don't use enough. In a sense, you can also use rudeness.

モバイルWi-Fiルーターで「Rakuten UN-LIMIT」を使う(失敗編)

 Therefore, this time we have prepared Rakuten Mobile's "Rakuten UN-LIMIT" line to test the connection. Although I think many people know that capital circle and Osaka, Nagoya, such as Kyoto, can use basically unlimited data communication (sometimes communication is limited to very large) within the area of Rakuten mobile line. Roaming over au lines can use up to 5 GB per month outside the area. Moreover, the traffic within one year of the contract is free (up to 3 million people first, each person has only one line).

 Therefore, the SIM of Rakuten UN-LIMIT is inserted into the mobile Wi-Fi router "MP01LN" produced by the handheld NEC platform. However, judging from the results, this is a failure.

 Rakuten Mobile sells the updated "MP02LN" of MP01LN, so considering that there should be no problem, it is easy to connect. MP01LN does not correspond to band 3 of LTE (1.7 GHz band). Although it is possible to connect itself, it is connected to au's roaming line.

 To use a mobile Wi-Fi router in Rakuten UN-LIMIT, it is important to choose a model that can use band 3 and au roaming line band 18. If you buy a new mobile Wi-Fi router, it will be beyond reproach to honestly choose the MP02LN sold by Rakuten Mobile.

 Although Band 3 cannot be used and a mobile Wi-Fi router that can only use Band 18 is considered rare, please pay attention to the choice of products. Rakuten Mobile's line connecting to the au roaming line (band 18) is difficult to understand, so we can refer to the example of this failure while checking and using the connection destination.

 When you start using a mobile Wi-Fi router, you need to install the signed SIM and set up the work at the connection named "APN". Let's look at an example of this setting in MP01LN. If it is a mobile Wi-Fi router on NEC platform, the setting method is the same. In other cheap SIM, the APN setting value is different, but the order of the setting itself remains the same.

まずはモバイルWi-Fiルーターの初期SSIDと暗号化キーを使ってWi-Fiに接続ウェブブラウザーで「aterm.me(192.168.179.1)」へアクセスすると、設定画面へのログイン用パスワードを設定できる設定したパスワードでアクセスし直す設定ウィザードが開始される。後でホーム画面からも開始できる[APN]に「rakuten.jp」と入力。[ユーザー名][パスワード]は空欄のままでいい[WAN側接続確認]をタップ「正常に接続されています」と表示されればOKホーム画面の[情報]を表示させ、[接続状態]をチェック。「LTE(440 53)」と表示される

 The number "44053" of "connection status" displayed in "Information" is the code of different operators called "PLMN", the part of "440" is called "MCC (Mobile Country Code/ country number)", and the part of "53" is called "MNC (Mobile Network Code/ Network number)".

 The "44053" becomes the number assigned to au (KDDI). That is, it means connecting to the roaming line of the au. If it is displayed as "44011", it indicates the connection to the Rakuten mobile line, and the communication becomes an object with unlimited capacity, so it can be used while confirming the number. In addition, according to the mobile Wi-Fi router, it is sometimes displayed as "Band 3" and "B3" and so on.

 If you know that your home is in the area of Rakuten mobile line, instead of going out to use it only at home (that is, only in the area), as long as the corresponding band 3 is fine. If you bring out the possibility of an au roaming line, band 18 should also confirm the import. By the way, in the MVNO of the NTT DoCoMo line, it is displayed as "LTE (DOCOMO)".

 MP01LN does not support LTE band 3, so even in the Rakuten mobile line area, it is a pity that it cannot be connected to the "44011" of Rakuten mobile line. Although it can be used on au's roaming route, it can be said to be a subtle failure, so I want to be the Avengers again next time.
