carriers can reset access points via messages for example. Learned it the hard way when my 1st grader suddenly had internet...

I think you need better network equipment at home.

My provider had given me a remotely managed router. It was trivial to change the configuration and have it work normally.

  • Access points are a phone network thing specifying which IP gateway the phone network routes your internet packets to. Not sure if they're still a thing in LTE which is natively IP-based.

  • Phones take APN configuration through special kinds of SMS messages. This isn't just about routers.
