Connect to Internet via USB Dongle_1

 

Steps to connect USB Modem/Dongle in Micromax Funbook

1.Connect the dongle to the Funbook tablet and wait for sometime till the tablet reads it.

2. Go to Settings in your Funbook and select More option.

3. Select Mobile Networks  and in that again select Acess Point Name[APN].
4. Now choose New APN option.

5. Just make the following changes[ Name, APN and Dial Number]:-
-> Fix the network name. Eg:- For Tata photon just write TP or Tata or anything as you wish.
-> Careful with APN, search the net for your service provider’s APN. Then write it precisely.
-> Dongles come with dial number. Check your purchase papers/manuals or simply search it Google and note it. Fill the   same here and you are done. eg. For Reliance it is #777 and Tata Docomo it is #999.

Wow! You are now free to use the USB dongle of your choice and just connect to the internet

  1. Dear Sir,

    I bought the micromax P300 tablet lastweek. The performance is OK. All I want to know is that i have a Nokia N73 mobile with BSNL 3G connection. I need to use the 3G in my mobile for this tablet through the USB cable . When i connected the mobile (N73) to the tablet it is not identifying the network. It is identifying as mass storage device. Please help me to solve this issue.

    Waiting for your reply at the earliest.

  33. friends, good news for you…you can use dongle other than photon+..just buy a IDEA NET SETTER(E1550) ..THEN UNLOCK IT..THE ORIGINAL SOFTWARE OF THE DONGLE MUST BE REPLACED BY “MOBILE PARTNER ” SOFTWARE..NOW USE ANY 3G ACTIVATED SIM( AIRCEL MY PREFERENCE)..just connect it to your Funbook..its automatically pop up 3g connection & signal bar…ENJOY

  34. Tata Photon, MTS, Reliance Netconnect users can use this settings: Create new profile and name it %u201CTata%u201D or anything of your choice. in APN setting fill #777. In User name and password setting fill input setting provided by your operator. Leave everything blank in all other setting and connect it using that profile. MTS customers: User name: int…@internet.mtsindia.in. password: MTS
