Unlocking Mifi

I am trying to unlock a Vodafone wifi r203-z. I have a code but can't see where I need to enter the code to unlock it.
Can anyone help. I can't find a dummies guide to doing it.

Make sure that your Vodafone R203-Z Huawei WiFi Mobile Router Gateway is fully charged.

Now connect your router with PC via USB cable.

Now open Internet Explorer(or Browser of your choice) and in address bar type http://192.168.0.1/html/simlockrequired.html


Now put your correct unlock code / sim lock code of your router and click on Apply and continue.

Now your Vodafone R203-Z Huawei WiFi Mobile Router Gateway will reboot.

Now switch off the Vodafone R203-Z Huawei WiFi Mobile Router Gateway and change the sim and connect to PC and create profile.

It should also work without needing the USB cable, by you connecting to the unit via WiFi and then going to the linked URL above as described.

You need to connect to the Dongle Not Sky Are you sure you have joined the right network?


If you put in another networks SIM card the modem should land on the SIM LOCK page automatically.

When I put a new sim in it takes me to the Vodafone page. All it says is that the sim can't be detected

Have you used this modem before? You don't need Internet at all.
You turn the modem on and connect to it via WiFi. Then you go to the page that I indicated.

The is a mistake in the original instructions. I have modified them.

Forget about that for now. Try my instructions first. If it doesn't work, I'll come up with an alternative.

I have tried but no luck. The page now loads but it's just a white screen( nothing there). I don't know why it seems to work for everyone else, just not me . Thank you for your help, I appreciate it .
