To use Fastweb 5G internet in 2025, the recommended APN (Access Point Name) settings are as follows:
- APN: fastweb.it (or apn.fastweb.it—both are noted in sources, but "fastweb.it" is now the most accepted format for 5G) [2] [3] [5] [7].
- Name: Fastweb 5G (or any preferred name) [2] [5] [7].
- MCC: 222 [2] [4] [5].
- MNC: 98, 08, or 80 (some sources differ; check your SIM support info, with “98” most commonly referenced for 5G) [2] [4] [5].
- APN type: default [2] [4] [5].
- Protocol: IPv4/IPv6 [2].
- Username, Password, Proxy, Port, Server: Not set, leave blank unless specifically instructed by support [2] [4] [5].
For Android:
- Go to Settings → Network & Internet → Mobile Network → Access Point Names.
- Tap + or Add, and enter the details above.
- Save and select this APN, then restart your device if needed [2] [4].
For iPhone:
- Go to Settings → Cellular → Cellular Data Options → Cellular Data Network.
- Enter the settings in the "APN" field for both "Cellular Data" and "MMS" if required, using “fastweb.it” as APN [2] [4] [7].
- Leave username and password blank [2] [5].
If you experience issues:
- Ensure your SIM is 5G-compatible and your device supports 5G.
- Double-check the APN entries for any errors.
- Restart your device after saving the configuration [2].
Fastweb’s support and help sections also confirm "apn.fastweb.it" and "fastweb.it" are interchangeable for new and existing SIMs [5] [6]. In rare cases where 5G does not connect, consult Fastweb customer support as some legacy SIMs may need replacement or additional provisioning [6].
These settings are current for 2025 and widely compatible for 5G access in Italy with Fastweb.
