Understanding Elisa APN Settings

How APN Works

APN (Access Point Name) settings act as a bridge between your phone and your mobile network. Without the correct APN settings, your device cannot connect to the internet or send MMS messages.

When You Need to Set APN Manually

Your device might not automatically configure the correct APN settings in the following situations:

  • You switched to a new SIM card.
  • Your phone is from another country.
  • You reset network settings or performed a factory reset.
  • You’re using a modem or router that requires manual setup.

Setting the correct APN ensures a fast and stable internet.

Elisa Gaming-Optimized APN Settings

Why Gaming APN Matters

Online gaming requires low ping, stable latency, and minimal packet loss. Default APN settings may not be optimized for gaming, leading to higher lag and disconnections.

A custom APN for gaming prioritizes fast data transmission, reducing network jitter and improving response times.

Why These Settings?

  • IPv4: Some online games have issues with IPv6, causing connection drops.
  • MTU 1400: Reduces packet fragmentation, making game data more efficient.
  • No Proxy/Port: Avoids delays caused by additional routing.
  • Manual LTE/5G Selection: Prevents network switching that can increase lag.

💡 Tip: Switch your network mode to 4G/5G Only in settings for better stability.

Elisa APN Settings for VoLTE and VoWiFi

What is VoLTE & VoWiFi?

VoLTE (Voice over LTE) enables high-definition voice calls over the 4G/5G network, improving clarity and reducing dropped calls.

VoWiFi (Voice over Wi-Fi) allows calls to be made over Wi-Fi instead of mobile networks, ensuring connectivity in areas with weak signal strength.
