How to Reset APN Settings on Samsung Galaxy Tab S6

This post will teach you how to reset APN settings on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 device. Feel free to use this as personal reference in case you need help restoring the default APN settings so as to rectify any existing network-related issues on your Samsung tablet.

APN or Access Point Name refers to the label assigned to the some unique settings read by mobile devices for them to set up a connection to the gateway between the carrier or network service provider and the public Internet.

In short, the APN has the network settings required by mobile devices to connect to the network service provider.

By default, mobile devices like smartphones and tablets are already designed to have several APN settings that are programmed to work for phone calls automatically. However, these settings can also be altered by end-users, unless blocked by the carrier.

If you happen to mess up these settings and that has resulted in some network errors, then restoring the default APN settings can help.

And here’s how it’s done on the Galaxy Tab S6.

Easy Steps to Reset APN Settings on your Galaxy Tab S6

Performing an APN settings reset forces the device to re-read the information from the mobile network and  the SIM card in use.

This reset is typically needed whenever you cannot access your mobile data connection or certain apps on your device will only download over Wi-Fi networks.

The process does not actually affect any other settings on your device so there’s no need to back up files beforehand.

Other instances that require an APN settings reset include SIM swap or switching to another carrier or network service provider.

If you’re unable to access the APN settings on your device, check and ensure that mobile data is enabled. If your tablet’s Mobile Data switch is greyed out, contact your carrier for further assistance.
