Optus APN (access point name) differs between connection types you are using with Optus. This setting needs to be adjusted depending on the service type, and may be required for you to set, if you are not using an Optus issued handset or mobile broadband router. The 4G APN is LTEBROADBAND while that for Home Wireless Broadband is 'internet' and if data is not working you need to set it as yesinternet. There are quite a few different APN's to remember so we've combined them all into a list format for you.
