Connecting with Chinese ZTE CDMA (EVDO?) modem

There was a previous thread on this subject under Mac OS X 10.3, but it has been archived. I am starting it up again under Tiger, with the hopes that something can be discovered.
Some smaller countries are starting to offer CDMA internet service. Here in Malawi, Africa, the equipment being sold is by ZTE from China. While their equipment works with Windows, there is not much on the Apple side.
I have tried to connect with both the WF520, fixed wireless terminal and the WP520BD, which is the Maroon colored phone/modem unit. I have had some limited success using the scripts by Verizon, Sprint EVDO Support. Usually I get kicked off after 3-5 minutes, but one time managed to stay online for 5 hours! No consistent result. I have just read that the WWAN script works too. Will have to try that. I am also trying to get in touch with ZTE through their Australian site's forum.
Has anyone had any success using ZTE equipment on an Apple?
Cheers

I used it over seas and like you said, not very stable. I was on a Dell, I don't know about Macs, yet I would assume they would work, why not? I just will not travel with my Mac, love it too much.

  • Network Manager fails to connect with Sierra Wireless 3G/4G modem

    Hi,
    I have three Asus Laptops running with Arch (Asus N56VZ, Asus F3JC, Asus UL80VS). All laptops work with Cinnamon Desktop. Everything works fine except 3G Modem in Network Manager. I have two USB modems: Sierra Wireless AirCard 310U and Sierra Wireless AirCard 320U.
    Modems had worked fine in end of year 2012, when NetworkManager version was 0.9.6.4 and ModemManager 0.6.0.0. After update (NM >0.8.X.X, MM >0.7.X. - when the ModemManager.service appeared) until now, I can't connect to the internet on all Asus laptops. Since 2013 I have to use wvdial, because in wvdial modems works fine. It is Arch problem, because in Linux Mint 15 I can connect with NetworkManager.
    Sierra AirCard 310U - When I'm connecting to the internet, modem reboots itself.
    Sierra AirCard 320U - When I'm connecting to the internet, Network Manager can't obtain DHCP address.
    I would be grateful for any help.

    I'm going to ask on #fedora and see how i can best diagnose what's going on. At least I now have it working, albeit on an older kernel.

  • SOLVED: Dropped connections with Time Capsule and cable modem/router

    I've been dealing with random dropped connections for quite a while and I thought that it would be useful to share what I've found.
    I was having a very puzzling problem where my internet connection would drop randomly on wireless devices. On my laptop, webpages would suddenly become unresponsive for a minute or two, Mail would have connection problems and complain, etc...but incredibly randomly and definitely not repeatable or in any pattern that I noticed.
    I also have 2 Nest thermostats in the house which connect via wi-fi. I noticed that they would randomly show Offline very often when viewed from a webpage or iPhone app, but the Nest front panels showed that they were connected with a strong signal.
    As I said, the dropped connections were very sporadic. Most of the time, everything worked, but every once in a while...bam.
    I worked with the level 3 tech support guys at Nest for over a week to figure out what was going on. We went through settings on my router and Time Capsule and everything seemed proper and okay. I even replaced the Nests with new ones but still had the same problem. We were all completely stumped.
    Yesterday, my laptop dropped it's connection at the same time my wife's laptop dropped hers. At this point, I wondered if something was wrong with the Time Capsule or maybe my internet provider.
    I called AppleCare to see if they could help with debugging the problem. They passed me up to a senior wi-fi tech and he asked me many questions about the configuration of my network. My home network looked like this yesterday (see crappy diagram below)
                                                         Motorola Cable modem/router
                                                                                 |
                                                           Netgear multiport switch
                                                          |          |         |         |          |
                                                         hardwired Macs,            TimeCapsule (bridge mode)
                                                         laser printers,                   |   |   |   |   |
                                                          Apple TVs                       laptops, Nest, iphones
    This configuration seemed correct to me. The Time Capsule in bridge mode would mean that the cable modem/router would be handling DHCP so all the devices would be on the same network and I could print from a laptop to one of my printers and the laptops could connect to the hardwired Macs, etc..
    The AppleCare technician said he thought that bridge mode was the problem. He mentioned that there was a known issue that in this configuration, the IP addresses could get lost between the cable modem/router and the Time Capsule. He said it would be best if the Time Capsule was in DHCP/NAT mode and the first device before the switch, this way the Time Capsule was the only device passing out IP addresses.
    So I repatched my network like this:
                                                       Motorola Cable modem/router
                                                                                 |
                                                       TimeCapsule (DHCP/NAT mode)
                                                                |                                       |   |   |   |   |
                                        Netgear multipart switch                      laptops, Nest, iphones
                                             |         |         |        |
                                               hardwired Macs,           
                                                 laser printers,                 
                                                   Apple TVs                     
    I can tell you that in the past 24 hours, I haven't seen anything lose a connection. Not even the Nests which seemed be on and off all the time. And, in this configuration, all the devices are on the same network and able to speak to each other.
    I hope that helps someone.

    So you're saying that Bridge Mode not functioning properly is a well known issue?
    Not to me.. I have not had issues with the TC in bridge. And it is my prefered setup. I think it is better as a wireless AP and network hard disk than a router any day of the week.. but there are other ways to skin the cat if it is proving unreliable. I am at the moment using a wireless bridge from the Gen4 TC to a Gen4 AE upstairs for TV internet streaming.. it started off very reliable.. but of late I guess I need to reboot it every few days. And it has required a full reset two or three times.. although I probably need to take some of the blame for those. I am not over worried.. i do not believe in wireless bridges except for the most interim of arrangements.. it will be wired in ethernet ASAP.
    Wireless should always be used in a way that respects its status as voodoo.. not stable technology. NOT SCIENCE.. it is more a bag of beads and rattles.
    Is there a way to change the cable modem/router to avoid the double NAT problem?
    The answer to this may depend on your ISP. Did they provide the modem? If so they may lock it down so you have no control. But normally a Motorola cable modem will not have a bridge mode as such but will have a method of turning off NAT.. (and wireless).. this amounts to the same thing.
    Once you turn off NAT.. you need to power cycle the modem so the TC gets the public IP in router mode. The power cycle time might be 5min or 20min or overnight.. it again depends on your ISP.. but you need to stop the modem capturing the public IP so it can be passed to the modem.
    Depending on where you are in the world.. US is most concentration of cable network.. you can go out and buy your own modem. Pick one on your ISP list and steer clear of SB.. at least with the apple routers they are problematic.
    It also can be a case that the cable modem is SB model and therefore more problematic. Sorry I have forgotten the recommendation for what to buy. There are a number of posts here about it but search is terrible now. (or I am too old to figure it out). I will get Bob to poke his nose in and tell you what works for him.

  • Can't get a wireless internet connection with a F@st 3464 modem

    I'm having trouble getting access to the internet with my ArchLinux laptop and a F@st 3464 router via wireless (WEP). On the other hand, a winxp laptop and the n900 running maemo 5 have no problem to problem to get an internet connection.
    My ArchLinux laptop is configured to connect to my home wireless network:
    # /etc/rc.conf - Main Configuration for Arch Linux
    wlan_eth1="eth1 essid MyWifi key s:XXXXXXXXXXX"
    eth1="dhcp"
    INTERFACES=(eth1)

    ROUTES=(!gateway)
    DAEMONS=(slim syslog-ng network ntpdate netfs crond cpufreq ntpd @alsa @hal @laptop-mode)
    ### END /etc/rc.conf ###
    This works fine.
    But now in this other place, there's a F@st 3464 modem/router which is giving me headaches:
    $ iwlist scanning
    lo Interface doesn't support scanning.
    eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning.
    eth1 Scan completed :

    eth0 no wireless extensions.

    Any suggestions? (I guess that this must be something stupid, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to have a feeling of what's wrong).

    Try a complete power cycle, maybe the devices will refresh and 'find' each other
      Power down the PC first then the router and then the modem - wait a minute or so -- then power them back up in reverse order waiting for the correct lights to come in each device before moving on to power up the next device
       I would think this should get you connected again since you had a good connection up to yesterday
       If not check back -- something may have been corrupted and there are other procedures to try if so - myself or some one else will be glad to assist

  • Time Capsule Airport Connection with Deutsche Telekom 300HS VDSL Modem

    I just swithched my Deutsche Telekom connection to VDSL 50 but can no longer connect to the internet.  There are a couple of configurations I have tried:
    a.    The Speedport 300 HS modem connected directly to the Time Capsule.
    b.    As above, but with the Speedport W700V router in between the modem and Time Capsule.
    The green light on the modem is illuminated to confirm the VDSL is available.
    Could somebody please advise the correct settings in the Airport Utility to make either configuration above work?
    Thanks,
    Paul

    This is the easiest one.. just use TC in bridge. You go to the airport utility, manual setup, select internet tab and under connection sharing.. off bridge mode.
    a.    The Speedport 300 HS modem connected directly to the Time Capsule.
    This is harder as it depends on the authentication system used by your VDSL..
    The TC has limited options.. either DHCP.. so the vdsl has to pass the public IP as in half bridge type system.. or it has to be PPPoE authentication.. as that is the only other alternative offered.

  • My new airport extrem wont connect with my time warner cable modem

    My new aiport extrem wontconnect tomy time warner cable modem

    Have you power cycled the modem for long enough to deregister the previous client/router MAC address.. it can take 20min or longer off time. If the cable modem is also a router then the AE has to be in bridge mode.
    Sometimes there are connection issues.. modem to WAN port of the AE..
    Exactly what modem do you have?
    Are the connectivity lights on when you plug in ethernet?

  • Setting up internet connection with a cell phone as modem

    Well, I guess you can figure out what this is all about from the title..
    Basically, I have a cell phone (Nokia N95 8GB) which I currently use for my internet connection on Windows XP, connected via USB cable. The question is how I would go about setting it up with Arch.. I really have no idea where to start. I have browsed the Wiki and been Googling for ages without much luck. I would therefore be very grateful if someone would point me in the right direction.
    My ISP is Telenor, I live in Norway. I already have the details required for a working connection on Windows, would these be very different on Linux? Or, in other words, do I need additional information?
    Do I have to use a "dialer" - like wvdial? If so, where do I get that one without a working internet connection?
    Also, I have Arch installed on my US pen drive. Is there a recommended way to make my network settings portable between multiple computers, can I e.g. have multiple profiles?

    I used to do this with a Nokia N70, and when I plugged in the USB able, the cdc-acm module would autoload and create a /dev/ttyACM0 interface that could be used by ppp. ppp is on the install iso, btw.
    netcfg can handle multiple profiles - I haven't used it with dial-up myself though.

  • No internet, "PPPoE Server Not Found" message. Same problem with both old and new modems.

    Help please!
    My internet connection with my old Westell 6100 modem was working fine, then quit all of the sudden and would not restart. The DSL and Data lights on the Westell modem were both green. The Internet light alternated between red and off.
    I tried every troubleshooting thing I could think of:
    Powering down and re-starting the modem and computer.
    Resetting the modem.
    Checking all of the wire and jack connections.
    I plugged my computer ethernet cable straight into the modem, bypassing my router.
    I tried both Windows and Mac computers.
    I plugged the modem directly into the network interface on the outside of my house to bypass all of my house wiring.
    I checked all my phone jacks with a telephone tester to make sure both phone lines were working and not reverse-wired.
    I made sure I did not have a DSL filter installed on the modem line.
    Verizon Tech Support did a line test and told me the line was fine but that there might be a problem with either my modem or something at the "central office" (not sure what that means). Verizon also sent me a new router as well -- a D-Link DSL-2750B.
    The new D-Link router also does not connect to the internet (same problem). The DSL, Data, and Internet lights are all green on the D-Link. I have the computer directly connected to the modem with a new ethernet cable. I repeated the above troubleshooting steps. I went into the router configuration 192.168.1.1 and ran the modem's "Internet Troubleshooting" tests.
    There were two error messages on the router configuration screens:
    1."PPPoE Server not found" error message is shown on the summary screen.
    2."No internet infrastructure present. Please call your infrastructure provider." is shown in the "internet troubleshooting" test results.
    Verizon had me change some settings inside the router configuration -- no dice. Verizon ran another line test. A "Level 2 Tech" took over the call and told me that he thinks that the cause of the problem is that the outside wiring coming to my house is reverse-wired. How can this be true since my DSL worked for 2 years before this, my phone line tester indicates my phone lines are wired the right way, and my router reports "PPPoE Server Not Found?"
    Verizon is sending out a repair tech to check the outside wiring but I don't think that is the problem at all.
    HELP!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If you're getting DSL sync (solid DSL light), this sounds like a case of a bad line card to me. I've seen it happen before where it wasn't an account or route issue to the network.

  • Driver for EVDO Modem

    I have a ZTE AC8700 EVDO modem. ZTE doesnt provide support or drivers for mac. I am using the modem by installing Prolific PL2303 mac driver and adding the hardware id of my modem to the prolific kext. I am using generic dial up modem script.
    The problem I have is that my speed is severely limited. I get upto 800 kbps in windows where as in leopard i hardly get 80-100 kbps.
    Any solutions?

  • Lost internet connection with Firmware 7.1.1

    Here is my network:
    2 iMacs
    2 Roku media players
    2 VOIP phones with a base station (Siemens)
    1 Airport Extreme with a LaCie HD connected on the USB port
    1 Netgear modem with the WiFi turned off.
    The 2 iMacs connect only wirlessly
    The Voip phones have a base station which connect with a cable to the modem (so indirectly to the Mac base station)
    When I updated to 7.1.1 one of my iMacs continued to connect to internet (the one I'm writing on now), but other one does not. It connect to the LaCie and to this iMac, but it won't connect to internet. The two phones won't connect either.
    As I'm writing this, I have a faint suspicion that the problem might be with the modem and not the router, but I'll this anyway, cause maybe I'm wrong.
    Any Ideas
    Mark

    In fact it seems the problem was not the Firmware, because everything is now working.
    This is what I did change: the iMac that was not connecting to internet also had a problem with the MirrorAgent service left over from a .Mac subscription. After getting rid of Mirror Agent, all of the internet connections (including the VOIP phones and Rokus) started working againg.
    Does anyone have any idea if there is a connection?

  • MacBook Pro's wireless connectivity with ZTE 531 ADSL modem using BSNL broadband

    I have tried to connect macbook pro with BSNL broadband internet connection using ZTE 531 ADSL modem. The connection using both wireless mode and ethernet mode failed repeatedly. Using the same modem, I am able to connect to internet through my Sony Viao running Windows 8 and HP630 running ubuntu (both in wireless mode and ethernet mode). I have tried the 'assist me->diagnostics' option in Macbook's network diagnostics. The first 4 indicators are green, but the remaining 2 (ISP and server) remains yellow. Repeated attempts were made by restarting the modem.
    Surprisingly, the Macbook works fine with a newly purchased Dlink N150 ADSL2 modem.  I have used the same WIFI settings ( as in the ZTE modem) in Dlink modem also. What could be the reason for this ?

    Hello jayan_a_r,
    From what you are talking about, it seems like you have done some good troubleshooting to attempt to sort it out. Try using a different Network Location as sometimes that could be an issue when trying to access the internet. Also make sure that modem is using the recommended settings for the wireless access.

  • Home Networking with a EVDO modem

    I am new to Mac. I am not very tech savvy but struggle through most challenges. I am confused on how to set up my home network. I want to share files, printer, and internet. What hardware do I need? How should it be configured?
    Computers: Mac mini with Airport Extreme Running Windows XP in Parallels 5, Dell Inspiron wireless enabled lap top (win XP)
    Printer: Canon MP 560 WIFI enabled
    Modem: Verizon (novatel) USB 760.
    Do I need a router or will airport work?
    What if I want to watch internet tv or netflix instant movies, will I need something more?
    I have done so much reading and research, my head is spinning!
    *PLEASE HELP*

    I've been holding back on suggestions in hope that someone who has done what you want to do will chime in.
    Under Apple Menu > System Preferences > Sharing there are a number of options that would facilitate some (but perhaps not all) of what you want to do.
    If, for example, the evdo modem is attached to the Mini and you want to access the internet via wifi from you "couch" pc notebook, you could turn on "Internet Sharing" in the aforementioned Preferences.
    That Preference panel would also allow hard drive and/or printer sharing, if the printer is attached with a usb cable to the Mini.
    What I'm worried about is that I suspect (but don't know from experience) that the Mini can't provide internet sharing to the wifi connected pc and simultaneously provide drive and printer sharing -- because I fear that the PC ends up in a different "sub-net" from the Mini and the printer.
    But perhaps it would work. Give it a try.
    If the PC doesn't need to access the internet, then if you turn off internet sharing, the other kinds of sharing would certainly work via wifi/airport.
    (BTW, if you attach the evdo modem to your Mini, you might use a USB extension cord to attach it so that you can place the modem for best reception.)

  • Is it possible to be connected with a 3G modem for internet access and a WiFi router for printer sharing at the same time?

    For our only internet access we have a 3G wireless modem. I have since purchased a WiFi printer and router to connect all the comptuters to in the house. The PCs have no problem with using both the 3G connection and the WiFi signal at the same time to print, however, the MacBook Pro will not connect to the 3G network and the router, it will drop the internet access from the modem and attempt to connect via WiFi (which has no internet access). Is there a solution that is available to remedy this? I attempted to create an adhoc printer network, however, the macbooks again will not print off of this, only the PCs. And I'm getting a bit frustrated overall with this.

    The 3G wireless modem is on one of the PC's correct?
    Why don't you pass the Internet through the Ethernet port to the router via Cat5 cable, then have that transmit a Wifi signal that everything else can use, then connect the printer to the router for print sharing?
    You would have to turn off the wifi on the comptuer with the 3G modem as it's physically connected to the router and can't connect to the other machines as they are all connected to the router for sharing.
    The Mac has the ability to pass, Internet Sharing in the System Preferences.
    Do you have software for the Mac to run the 3G modem?

  • I got a new modem and imac says connected with the airport, but cant get a web page to come up on either safari or firefox

    I started having internet problems with all my devices in the house, ipod, imac, pc laptop, tablets, etc... found out after being on the phone with comcast for hours, they determined my modem that they supply was bad. So I have the new modem now and very simple to install it and get everything working. However, I cannot get online with a web browser of any sort on my imac. which had no issues before.
    All my devices in the house work perfectly now with the new modem and my speeds are great, and even the imac (with the airporter) states it is connected. but I cant do anything pertaining to the internet. I have spent hours on the tech line with comcast and they cant seem to find the issue and said it is with my Imac, even though it was working fine before.
    Does anyone have any ideas, is there simply something I'm missing, please help. As I stated before, everything else that we own works great and has great connection. and the Imac states it is connected, but mail, internet, non of that works...??????

  • Can't connect to internet with new wireless n "Extreme" modem

    I've had a D-Link DI-604 router for about 4 years-- and wanted to go wireless with an Apple Extreme but first have borrowed my neighbor's D-Link DIR-635 to just see if this will work in my brick house etc. (3 stories, lots of cement and brick...)
    Well I get as far as the 192.168.0.1 and then "clone" my MAC address (nothing to do with a Macintosh that...). Note: I was using the same computer to connect to the internet as I previously had used with the D-Link DI-604.
    I also give a manual (easy-to-remember) 5-letter password to my wireless connection--
    But although this "reboots" the modem, it does NOT let me connect to the internet...
    So I'm back to my D-Link 604 cable (wired) only...
    One thing the set-up asked for is my HOST name. The only thing I see in the Network System Preferences is an ethernet number: 00:16:cb:cd:6c:3e but I don't find a "HOST" name-- and is that really needed? (In Belgium I'm using an ISP provider "VOO")
    Any comments really appreciated-- I could actually see a fairly strong signal from the wireless router (I named it "SteveHermee" and I could see strong bands even from the top floor, with router in the basement...)-- but I could never connect to the internet via CABLE (wired) or wireless.
    Thanks,
