🌐 ZTE MF833V Unlocked 4G LTE USB Modem, LiveU Compatible, Android Head Unit (MTCE Firmware Only) - Please Inquire Before Purchase Review

I bought two different models just to try because some reviews said they worked and others didn't. This works fine on both a T-Mobile data SIM and a voice/data SIM. I didn't get any reply at first, when it works it showed up on wifi but no connection. The SIM must have been free. In any case, once the computer automatically detects the USB port, it will automatically connect and redirect you to its Host Modem page. Definitely recommend! Avoid USB/tethering labeled 4G/LTE (not ZTE).

Connected, drivers installed and T-Mobile instant connection. But after checking some settings it restarted and couldn't connect. The lights were flashing but I can no longer log into the web interface @ 192.168.0.1. Worst of all, there's no factory reset button or method to start over if something goes wrong. Big design flaw. If you change the setting or restart, be careful because this thing might stop working. And I noticed that there is no mention of a guarantee, so good luck to you after…

I need a 4G LTE USB modem that works correctly with Costa Rica's telecom carriers, specifically Kolbi (the largest carrier with the best coverage in the country). It works great and is the best modem I found during my research that meets almost all different frequency specifications for LTE 4G, 3G and GSM 2G not only for Kolbi but also for other providers like Claro. works fine with a USB tethering on the internet when connected to a GL.iNet GL-AR750 AC router (which has an OpenWRT based…

crap key I bought before ZTE got FCC clearance (see pics) so obviously how it could work, it didn't work. I was skeptical when I ordered it, but it turned out great. I used a Tmobile (Micro-Sim) data SIM card. Once this is connected, you can access the configuration page either through the IP or through the utility located on it. The speeds are really good, it works flawlessly in 4G LTE mode which means it should be blue. Connection Mode => Auto Network Selection => Auto APN => Mode =…

Very easy to get started. Order your Fi SIM data only, order this device, insert a SIM card (micro adapter recommended), connect to a computer, activate Fi with a passcode, surf the web. I'm getting about 10Mbps down and 2Mbps down, which is about right for the Fi/T-Mobile I'm sitting on. The ping is also as expected, north of 50ms, so I won't try to do anything particularly time sensitive. Overall this is fine for my use case (internet on a pi box) and actually pretty decent internet on a…

When it arrived I unpacked it and plugged it into my laptop. It immediately launched the driver installer and once it finished it worked after I inserted the Mint Mobile SIM card. It's about the same as my iPhone in terms of signal strength and speed, so no complaints. The only minor thing I would change is that the USB drive itself is a bit long and bulky, so be prepared for that. Some other reviewers have mentioned that they need to configure the APN or some other settings. I had no problems…

This works with Android but you need to do a few things first.1. Download DC-Unlocker and Putty.2. Go to your network adapter settings in Windows and disable your network adapter and/or disconnect WiFi.3. Insert a working SIM card and connect it to your Windows PC.4.
