I have recently unlocked my R218h and inserted a SIM card from Smarty (3). All of the lights on the device are green, but it’s not possible to connect to the internet.  The new SIM is active. 

When I go to the device management page, it shows the attached status. Any suggestions as to why it remains ‘Disconnected’ please?

@Bcm1000  did you have any joy getting your unlocked R218h onto SMARTY?

I have exactly the same issue, and following your post and the initial reply, I had a play with some of the APN settings.

 

I managed to get the DISCONNECT status to CONNECT 😀 but I still cannot use the web through the unlocked R218h with SMARTY SIM inserted (don't know the required DNS settings etc tried Google DNS but failed) 

The Vodafone MIFI login screen displays some additional fields that none of the APN settings show 😓

 

any additional info would be a plus
