  • 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

  • please make sure that simcard you are using seat correctly in the simcard slot
