Need updated Software for Airtel 4G USB Dongle ZTE MF 880 T for Mac OS Mountain Lion

Hi Guys,

Was struggling with this for the past 2 weeks, and got it working finally.

I am using the Huwaei 4G LTE USB modem provided by Airtel, should also work for ZTE stick.

Here's what i did to get it to work.

1, Install the 4G connection Manager

2, Goto System Preferences - Network Connections

3, You will see a Huwaei or ZTE modem, Select that

4. In Configuration, Click on add new configuration and Name it "Airtel"

5. Leave, Telephone number, username and password blank

6. Click on Advanced at the bottom of the screen

7. Click Modem, Select "Generic" in vendor

8. Model as GPRS (GSM/3G)

9. APN as www.airtelgprs.com, left the CID in 1

10, Say OK in the screen and come back to Network dialog box

11. Click connect, it will get connected and you don't have to put in any proxies or any other settings.

12. Now you can un-install the Airtel connection manager and be done with it.

I have an airtel ZTE 820 4G dongle. This wasn't working in yosemite till I installed the driver update package at http://www.zte.co.nz/main/MAC_Drivers.htm. After this, I had to run the following command in a terminal to get it working: 'sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/ZTEUSBCDCACMData.kext' . Post this, I could use the installed connection manager.

Had to break my head on this for several hours - hope this helps other folks.

Thanks a lot man! This helped me for my Airtel 4G Dongle (ZTE MF880T) on OS X Yosemite as well!

Thanks a tone!!!
