ZTE USB 4G router (ZTE MF821)

[glenngrass]

I just want to let you know that the ZTE MF 821 works like a charm in Raspberry Pi.

I'm running Raspbian.

You just have to manually start the eth1 interface with

Code: Select all

sudo ifup eth1

(Or whatever ethernet interface the device gets connected to. You can find this by inspecting the ifconfig output)

After this manually start browser(Midori) and go to the URL(m.home in my case) which can be found in autostart under Windows.

Then press connect and you are done.

I didn't even have to use external battery for the dongle. But its better if you can have an external supply.
