Anyone using airtel 4G dongle on Mac Book Pro with OS X Mavericks in India? I am unable to connect to internet. Kindly help.

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.

Thanks kgangaatharan for Sharing this.

I called to Airtel customer care and they told Airtel 4g is not supported in Mac 10.10.1 Yosemite .

Due to ur post i am able to configure the Airtel 4g with my new Mac

Thanks a lot

I tried the same, but still unable to connect.
Same dongle works fine in Windows, do you have any screen shots of this solution for better understanding and just to make sure I am not missing anything.

WOW,It worked flawlessly on my Macbook Air running OS X Yosemite version 10.10.5.

I just needed to create a new device by clicking + sign under Network Preference settings dialogue box,called as ZTEUSBMODEM and then followed the steps as is it,and the dongle started working flawlessly-delivering a speed of 7 Mbps.

Thanks a ton,for helping thousands of users like me whose fault is to upgrade to latest Mac software facing Airtel's apathy.

Hi,

Can someone please tell me where can I find 4G connection Manager. I tried a lot but couldn't find.

Its the software which comes bundled with the airtel dongle,simply install the installation files for macbook and you are good to go.
