Thread: TATA Photon Plus with wifi router

I had purchased TATA Photon plus OLIVE VME101 about a year ago.I want to configure it with my router(MIFI H1) . But it doesn't connect. IT asks for dial number , username , password and APN . Username , Password and Dial no. i already know. But what about APN . I asked customer care and they said we can't give you APN and they said that it is possible to configure it . Please help.

Problem:
Manual APN button

Try Auto button instead of manual. for APN. if button available in your 3G wifi router.

If really needed APN you have to access PHOTON menu settings.

appears there is no box showing APN.


Feedback.

@essbebe
I don't have Auto APN ... what to do now ?

Try tata.photon.internet (tata.docomo.internet)

Hope some Photon user will respond !

Doesn't work . Have u got any other ideas ?

well for connecting tata photon you must configure your tab

. just create any profile name like Tata photon and leave access point or apn field blank. just enter user name and password provided by Tata photon which you always dial when connecting photon device from pc. then dial that connection thats it.

i tried this method also but it also doesn't work .maybe the apn of tata photon wifi will work

Can you post as screenshot the settings page of the (3G) wifi router ?
where it asks for APN etc.

apn of tata photon wifi will work

like the SSID name in the wifi router ?
Basically the Photon is a WIFI adapter with a dialer software.

In the wifi router what are the options available ?
DynamicIP/Auto DHCP/PPPoE /etc?? Try Dynamic IP

Try this. Download "connectify" application and install it in the laptop, in which TATA Photon is connected.This laptop then works as AP ( Access point ) for other wifi devices ( limited range )

i use my iPad

Got a similar page. APN ( optional here )
Probably the Photon unitOLIVE VME101
. is not compatible with MIFI H1 3G wifi router

Model: MIFI-H1
- Portable mini 3G WIFI Gateway USB modem
- Compatible with HSDPA/HSUPA/W-CDMA 1X/EVDO/TD-SCDMA (Work with an external 3G USB adapter)

"Connectify" reported working.

@essbebe .... it comes in the w-cdma / evdo category ... so it should probably work ....I don't want to use connectify because then i have to keep my laptop on whenever i want to use net on my iPad

Listed as "HSIA" model . ( HSPA/ etc )

In case, if your photon device does not show hsia signal, make sure you’re having the latest firmware version of the hardware USB device
