If you are a regular visitor of routerunlock.com (renamed from unlock4modem.in), then you were finding new solutions day-by-day. Our team daily finds a new solution and keeps you updated. Recently, Airtel and Idea launched the E3372H dongle in India, but the noticeable thing was that Airtel E3372h-607 was normal, where Idea E3372h-607 is a hi-link dongle. After experimenting, it was found that both are using the same chip inside.

Then our team tried to convert it from normal to hi-link mode, and after that got success.
