Teltonika RUTX50: APN and roaming settings for an IoT SIM
Updated
To use an IoT SIM in the Teltonika RUTX50, open Network > Mobile > General, turn off Auto APN, enter the APN of your SIM, and leave "Deny data roaming" off. A multi-network IoT SIM often connects to partner networks in roaming; a router set to refuse roaming data stays offline with it.

Set the APN
- Open the web interface and go to Network > Mobile > General.
- Turn off Auto APN: it picks an APN from the router's database by operator and country, which does not know your IoT SIM's APN.
- Type the APN shown in your M2M.global account in the APN field (internet APN, or your private APN). Leave user name and password empty unless your account shows them.
- Check that Deny data roaming is off.
- Save and apply, then read the connection state on the status page.

Reach the router remotely without a public IP
With private delivery, the router gets a private IP address that routes straight to your cloud or office network: you manage it, and the equipment behind it, without port forwarding and without exposing it to the internet. If you need access from anywhere instead, a static public IP is an option.
Networks and shutdowns
- Permanent roaming rules apply to devices that stay abroad: see the rules by country.
The SIM: IoT SIM cards. Typical use: SIM card for 4G and 5G routers.
Frequently asked questions
Where do I set the APN on the Teltonika RUTX50?
In Network > Mobile > General: turn off Auto APN if it is on, then enter your SIM's APN in the APN field. Source: Teltonika wiki.
Why does my IoT SIM not connect in the Teltonika RUTX50?
Check the APN first, then the Deny data roaming option: a multi-network IoT SIM often connects in roaming, and the router refuses data in roaming when this option is on.
