Pls note that there is a mac address lock in place... The dongle will only work properly with c5v with firmware 190304 because of dhcp addressing issue... BTW 190304 is the latest version of the routers firmware.
With the mac address lock... U will not be able to use the dongle anywhere else besides ur router.

Latest news.

The sim will not work on anything other than maxis routers or dongle. You maybe the lucky few whose sim is not locked to the maxis devices...

My 4g sim card can work independently outside off their stock router

for those with dongle that has been updated and unable to connect anymore, try these steps:

1. browse to the dongle IP address using firefox
2. go to Settings -> Dial-up settings
3. right click in the page -> Inspect Element
4. search for #auto_mode, double click on disabled="" on the highlighted line, delete it, press enter
old value =
CODE
<input type="radio" name="modeGroup" id="auto_mode" value="auto_dial" data-bind="checked: selectMode, enable: false" disabled="">

new value =
CODE
<input type="radio" name="modeGroup" id="auto_mode" value="auto_dial" data-bind="checked: selectMode, enable: false" >

5. Automatic radio button is now enabled, click on it
6. search for apply, delete disabled="" as well
old value =
CODE
<input type="button" class="btn-1" data-bind="click: save, enable: false" trans="apply" disabled="" value="Apply">

new value =
CODE
<input type="button" class="btn-1" data-bind="click: save, enable: false" trans="apply" value="Apply">

7. Apply button is now enabled, click on it, you should receive success message

Now, the dongle should be usable again with maxis router archer c5v and should auto connect if fiber connection is down.

does this method still works?

I kinda stuck on Step 4 unable to see the Automatic Radio Button is now enable?

Yes still works. same thing happened to me as I updated something in the modem setting. sometimes you need to right click > edit attribute to delete the chunk of code.

This is still relevant in 2020. bangwall.gif

My dongle updated itself and decided it didn't want to connect. Did this and restarted the modem and works again.

Thanks!!!!

Your setup would be neat if you'd just replace the cheap customized locked ZTE Maxis 4G dongle which they supplied.
Just get one online instead which is unlocked which comes with stock firmware.

Just make sure you get a "hostless" 4G dongle which doesn't require additional software to connect.

I've used the backup Maxis SIM with a Huawei E3372H Hi-Link that has its own webgui and it worked flawlessly.

You can take a look here how I discovered Maxis ZTE works with other device: Ditch ONU, use GPON SFP on Business Grade Router

Yes, just set your Windows Computer Name (Hostname)

in Linux, you can send DHCP Option 12 to dongle without change Hostname
