can this be done with Maxis ZTE donge + laptop?

Yes. On linux you could just do :
CODE

ifconfig usb0 up
dhcpcd -1 -h Maxis_Archer_C5v usb0
route add default gw 192.168.0.1


And I stumbled upon this file while poking around on the AR2140 router :

I thought it would be helpful for whoever encounters issue whilst setting up the usb modem

Thank you.

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

Thank you very much. Finally figured out thanks to your tip. Maxis is sneaky.

I’ve successfully gotten it working on my computer just like you to verify it. Then changed the setting on my ASUS AC86U stock firmware via web GUI.

And everything works as it should, simulated by turning off the modem.

What motivated me to do this was that Maxis fiber was really down and the dongle not working is irritating since I’ve got ASUS AiMesh setup for my home.

EDIT: don’t need to unlock one lah. But I think if you abuse this backup dongle Maxis will banhammer it.

Yes, no need mess with the Dongle Firmware, just DHCP Option 12:

I use 4G Backup as Internet Fail Over, I simply set Route Distance/Metic:
Fiber: Metric 3
LTE: Metric 5

when Fiber down, automatic to LTE

even if successful unlock it, now Maxis can still suspend your 4G backup dongle simcard if you use it other than its device

installed 100Mbps fibre last month.
pre-installation, they gave wireless dongle + router.
upon installation of fibre + another router, i returned the pre-installation router; but they told me no need to return the dongle, to re-use the dongle as backup, but they just replaced the pre-installation SIM meant for 4G wireless with new SIM meant for fibre backup.

few days after, the fibre installer called me to give a backup dongle that was meant as my backup dongle. but i informed him maxis centre already set me up to just continue using pre-installation dongle as backup, so he said then he don't need to come since already completed if like that.


(even maxis centre don't know why their SOP is, fibre installer will install new same-model router, and the one supplied pre-installation is then supposed to be returned.)

Thnk for the info. For me, I already install the fiber few months before. Last week change my prepaid to maxis postpaid. I ask for backup sim, and they give me the sim but not the dongle.

Anyone know if the backup SIM able to receive SMS ? I trying to register the number from the backup SIM, seems like the verification SMS from Whatapps/Telegram is not receiving.
