    ZTE Mobile Broadband drivers for Windows7 ? (MF833V specific)


    I'm looking for these drivers here because there are many google results which redirect to nonexistent pages or suspicious drivers site with strange "drivers search" softwares (the only one I trust and tried is DriveBooster and it can't even detect the missing drivers).
    Some of such sites actually provided a couple of zip files containing .inf, x64 and x86 folders in them, but I can't install the .inf file (by right-click + install) or by custom installation through windows driver installer/updater (by locating the driver files on the specific folder)
    Of course, the windows drivers installer doesn't even find the drivers on the internet database (not great news since win7 support discontinued long ago).
    Thank you in advance if you can be of any help

    About the device: it's a USB stick, like a pendrive with 2 slots inside for microSIM card and microSD card... of course, as the device is not recognized, neither of the two cards are recognized as well.

    Hi

    bit of a strange device you got there.


    Their are multiple ZTE drivers in the MS catalogue, i think its going to be a case of trying them all as theres no direct pci/ven info shown..
    notes
    do hope your sim card is activated/installed
    qualcomm mdm9207, and ralink/mediatek 7620 drivers should work on your device

    hello, thanks for the answer
    unfortunely the mdm9207 drivers didn't work (I found a setup, installed it, but when the device is plugges it still appears as "zte mobile broadband" in unrecognized form).
    if it's the same for ralink/mediatek 7620 I don't know if it's worth trying
    about the ms catalogue, I don't know how to watch it or where it can be actually found...

    google MS catalogue, then in top right search box input ZTE, will give you a list of the drivers

    Right now, after manually installing one of the ms catalogue drivers for the "zte" search (specifically ZTE USB Modem Drivers) ... the device seems recognized as "ZTE NMEA Device" and "ZTE Diagnostic Interface"... but as the device has a microSD in it, the microSD doesn't appear in My Computer as drive... this means that probably I need a proprietary software ( specific to the model ). So I tried with another proprietary software for MF626 (not MF833v)... it was in Russian and I couldn't actually understand a thing, so I uninstalled it.
    This is strange because usually these pens come with an auto-installer in their own memory that is like... plug and play. So probably this software (to recognize the SD and SIM cards and interact with them properly) must be found somewhere...
    Default website title - ZTE gives no results
    Don't know where else I should search them as I can't just mess my system installing multiple drivers which probably won't make it work at all.
