HSDPA USB Universal Modem – When it comes to surfing on a PC, it actually require an internet connection and that’s where a modem comes to play a role.
What a Modem?
A modem is a device that serves as a medium to connect your computer to the internet and of course, a computer cannot surf the internet without an internet connectivity.
Well, let’s not go into much talks.
I want to teach or show you how you can actually connect your HSDPA USB MODEM to the internet.
How To Make HSDPA USB Universal Modem Connect To The Internet
Now i will assume you already have your USB MODEM and i would want to use MTN as an example here.
- Connect your USB MODEM to your PC USB Port. It automatically detects and brings up the set up window. If it doesn’t, please refer to the Modem Installation Manual for instructions on how to install the device.
- Locate FILE at the top left of the window to bring down a pop down options
- Click Settings, and click New
- Set it up using the following parameters (remember we are using MTN as an example)
- Click OK twice
- Now click connect

universal usb modem window |
That’s it.
Please Remember this tutorial is just for universal modems using MTN
If you intend using Airtel, configure using the Airtel APN settings here. Same can be done for glo. Just use APN as gloflat or glosecure. More details on how to configure glo internet can be found here.
Guess what I am trying to say is, make sure you use the correct settings of your network configuration. Most importantly, the APN. You can do away with the other settings.
If You ready have a network modem and wish to unlock it to use any network sim, please send your modem IMEI number to 090——– along with N500 recharge airtime so that i help you u unlock it and send you the unlock code.
cheers!
Waiting for your feedback.
Thank you.

I have been using my airtel sim on my mtn modem for over 5 yrs now but I stopped using it for some months like six months. Now I wanted to use it but it continues showing error 628 without connecting. I need your help
keysley please check your network apn settings
most problem with the HSPD modem are hardware sometimes we don’t take care of them and they start malfunctioning. little water can cause them not to detect network and the way we keep letting it fall off from a height can damage it because its not strong. and the network IC might have shaken or gotten weak. solution ur HSPD MODEM are like ur cell phone so when it does not detect network before you condemn it try servicing it with just a tooth brush and little fuel make sure u clean the board of the modem very well and dry it either with a heir dryer or sun or even a rework station. and try connecting again it might work. if it does not visit a technician or d modem is dead.
williams your right HSPD universal modem dnt last. they easily get spot.
my etisalat modem is not connecting(not sharing data) it telling me that the modem is already in use or is not configured properly.
It’s quite simple here guys, HSDPA modems are time bombs waiting to go off. If urs is working now, chances r it would soon develop a fault n stop working. Stop buying those kinda modems go for authentic network modems. Mine just stopped detecting network on my sim cards all of a sudden

My hsdpa modem has refused to connect with an airtel line but connects with mtn, pls i need help
Hello Seb, that could be issues with the airtel network. Are you sure you are using either internet.ng.zain.com, internet.ng.airtel.com, wap.ng.zain.com or wap.ng.airtel.com as APN? If yes, can you verify the airtel sim connecting well on a mobile device?
It means your universal modem doesn’t have those applied settings listed. Maybe you should do a manual setup. Click on settings on the far left top corner of the modem and add new settings required on the settings page, click ok twice and click on connect. Voilaaa! you’re connected
I have similar problem with fabian
I have tried different sims as well, etisalat and mtn
