HN9200 Modem

(Read 6921 times)

JustinSidebottom Member ★★ Offline Posts: 9	Sep 8^th, 2013 at 3:00pm I purchased as second hand HN9200 Modem that was used on Avanti in Northern Ireland. Can I use this on any other Provider or is it useless?

If you can have Avanti agree to release the Keys to the modem, which is unlikely, then it can be configured for use on another provider. I don't believe Avanti offer services in Afghanistan directly.

Is it not just a matter of replacing this information with whatever provider I choose? ie uploading the configuration file to the modem. If I have access to the modem advanced settings then this means it is unlocked, am I correct?

If so, does this also mean that BW may decide not to release the "Hub Keys" to enable me to move to another provider? Is it also ok for me to display the modem serial number here for you to check out it's suitability
