FirstNet APN (Access Point Name) is a setting that allows cellular devices to connect to cellular networks over 4G and 5G networks. Cellular devices need to connect in order to receive network services like the internet, MMS and more. To successfully connect to the internet, you need a data plan and be within network coverage. FirstNet uses the AT&T network which has one of the widest network coverage.
