Idea 3g Netsetter Upgrade To 4g ((link)) «RECENT»
Upgrading an Idea 3G Netsetter to 4G requires upgrading both your physical hardware and your SIM card. Because 3G and 4G use different radio technologies and frequency bands, a software-only "conversion" of a 3G device to a 4G one is physically impossible. 1. Hardware Upgrade (The Netsetter Device)
- Warning: Unlocking dongles often voids the warranty.
- Difficulty: You will need the IMEI
- Will it work? Possibly, but only for 2G speeds. Your old SIM card is configured for 3G access. Vi’s system will reject LTE access attempts from a legacy SIM profile.
- Recommendation: Do not waste money on a new dongle. The SIM itself is obsolete.
- Check the Device: Look at your dongle closely. If it is a newer model, it might already be 4G compatible but simply using a 3G SIM. If it is an older model (single-band), the hardware itself cannot support 4G signals.
- The General Rule: Most older Idea Netsetters require a Device Upgrade (buying a new dongle) rather than just a software update. However, you can usually exchange your old device for a new one at a discounted price.
Step 2: Back up your data
If your Netsetter has internal storage (some MTS models had a microSD slot), copy your files to your PC. idea 3g netsetter upgrade to 4g
