if it does say invalid simcard and it doesn't ask for a code

  • make sure that every time you are changing the simcard device is powered of
  • make sure that simcard you are using is active and its dedicated for mobile broadband devices, some phone simcards doesn't work on those devices
  • if you have the right simcard and it does seat correctly in the simcard slot power up your device and press and hold RESET button for around 15 sec then switch off your modem and power back on ... now it should detect the simcard correctly





 if itt say no simcard
