Various users facing problems after unlocking their modems. After unlocking the device, the data-card does not create a new profile and cannot connect to the internet without creating the correct profile.
What is the solution, If your dongle also does not allow you to create the profile?
There are two methods: either change the dashboard with another that allows creating the profile. Another method is, you can create a Dial-Up connection.
Finding the unlocked dashboard is very difficult since, in the market, various types of devices are available, and one is not compatible with another one. So, better to go for a Dial-Up connection. It is easy, and there is no need to use third-party apps.
How to create a dial-up connection?
- Make sure drivers are properly installed on the PC.
- Uninstall the default software of the modem and install only drivers for your data-card.
- If it is not possible, then install both software with drivers and then delete the software/dashboard manually from program files. (Usually, you can get it through C:\Program Files\……..)
- If it is also not possible, then delete the only .exe file from program files, which runs after putting the modem into the PC.
- Now, your PC drivers are installed properly, but you will not connect to the internet since you don’t have any software to connect to the internet.
