Raniyah Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 Recently,I borrowed a 4G pocket router from my friend. I'm using a pre-paid sim card on it. Though the router said to be 4G it doesn't connect to 4G network . It's a Huawei pocket router.How to configure the router to connect to 4G data netwrok?
jaclaz Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 Post the EXACT model. Check that your SIM is actually suitable for 4G (a - say - 3G SIM won't connect to 4G, no matter what the router is capable of). jaclaz
Raniyah Posted November 4, 2020 Author Posted November 4, 2020 It's a huawei e5573 4g lte pocket router. I'm using 4G SIM and I'm sure about it.So, there must be something wrong with the router. I suspect I need to install specific app on my phone and laptop to enable 4G. But, I don't know how to find it.
jaclaz Posted November 4, 2020 Posted November 4, 2020 The router is "self standing", it has a html server for settings, you normally don't need any particular software, *any* browser will do. Likely (check with the provider of the 4G SIM) you have to set a particular APN, compare with: https://www.blinkit.net.au/sites/default/files/blink_s3/HUAWEI_ E5573_User_Guide.pdf Or maybe you need the Huawei "Hilink" app? (some of the router settings may be "locked" by the specific vendor/provider) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0D-5Zdu8mQ jaclaz
