Hi,
For the reported phenomenon, it's recommended to start a new thread here with the following information for further assistance.
1. Your router's model, hardware, and firmware version.
2. The SIM card's provider.
3. Whether you can receive SMS messages or OTP on your phone when the SIM card is inserted into your phone.
Best Regards
