Vodafone Mobile Wi-Fi - Model R216

[Carole Hindmarch]

Please can someone help me to change the settings on this mobile router. It defaults to Vodacom and I don't know how to change the settings to Telkom. I'd really appreciate some help. Thank you.

Create a new dialup profile, then make this profile active, I guess.

This is a mobile router and it is not giving me options to change when I plug it in to my pc.

@Carole Hindmarch - All my research via search engines (Google, Bing) unfortunately show that your R216 is network locked. Here are the specs https://www.vodafone.com/content/index/what/devices/vodafone-r216.html# for your device, further research indicate purchasing of an unlock code enabling use on other networks. The network locking of devices seem the norm by observation. Hoping this info is of some value.

@Ivanr thank you for the information. I will look in to obtaining an unlock code with Vodafone.

I changed one of mine years ago, sorry i can't recall which site i used to download the programme but if you google it, you should find it, there are some sites that charge you - i used a free one and it worked
