4) Browse any website and you will be redirected to 192.168.1.1/simlock.asp [I've opened Google homepage, but it's not redirected me as suggested]

Have you established a WiFi connection to the device or are you using your usual home Internet connection?

1. Make sure your Huawei E5332 Mobile WiFi / MiFi is fully charged.

2. Just insert a non acceptable Network sim on your Huawei E5332 Mobile WiFi / MiFi SIM card into the device. (You have to use another network provider sim, which is currently locked to i.e Not T-Mobile).

3. After changing the another network providers sim on your Huawei WiFi / MiFi switch the device on. It will display “Invalid SIM” because you have used another network providers sim.


4. Now just establish a WiFi connection to Huawei E5332 Mobile WiFi / MiFi Router with your PC / IPAD / IPHONE / Android Device.

5. Connect your Huawei E5332 Mobile WiFi /MiFi Router with PC and got to http://192.168.1.1 or http://pocket.wifi and login to your device’s dashboard at http://192.168.1.1 or http://pocket.wifi. Go to Advanced Settings – SIM Settings - Unlock Device – Enter Unlock Code – Click on Apply.

or

Open your Settings – Dial-up – Unlock SIM card – Enter 8 digits unlock code in your Huawei E5332 Mobile WiFi / MiFi router. Click OK and the device will reboot to display the new network.

I'm at home, switched on my desktop PC, connected the device, but when I enter the IP address, I get this pop up:

The server at 192.168.1.1 at Netgear requires a user name & password

Remember my question?

Have you established a WiFi connection to the device or are you using your usual home Internet connection?

Disconnect from your home Internet. You are just using the MiFi device.

My limited computer knowledge is starting to show

I've inserted the device now and it's directed me to T-Mobile website, I've opened up another webage and entered the IP address, as quoted by the ebay seller, I'm now on 3g webpage, but I can't see anywhere to enter the unlock code, neither can I see advanced tab.

Does that mean that you have placed the T-Mobile SIM inside the device?

It's less about a limited computer knowledge. It's more about following the instructions.

The t-mobile sim card came with the device, I did insert the t-mobile sim into the device which I think is why I kept getting the 3g website, I've swopped the t-mobile sim card for a virgin sim card, un and reinstalled the device and still get the 3g website

Perhaps find another SIM.

Since early October 2011, Virgin Mobile customers have been able to use the Orange UK network where there is no signal from T-Mobile UK

What is "the 3g website"?
