Hi fox computers, i plugged the vodafone usb modem into my win 7 computer & in device manager i have 4 uninstalled "mobile network" devices (yellow triangle) but dont seem to be able to find the device drivers you mentioned, nothing installs at all once inserted.
This is the exact same device as the vodafone modem,but sold as a ALCATEL linkkey.
LINKKEY LTE cat4 USB DONGLE - Alcatel
Except the ALCATEL has all the regular drivers and the vodafone has hardly any,only win 10,linux & i think android 4.4. I booted from a tails dvd with the modem plugged in but again could not get it to connect to the internet even after setting the APN etc
I can not find the drivers for the ALCATEL modem on the ALCATEL support page either, i did download something from the site a while back but it didnt work,when i contacted them they said the drivers are pre installed on the device,i wanted them to tell me where i could get an external download as they didnt know mine was a different brand.
Im looking at buying a cheap win 10 disk from the bay,do you know if i buy a disk,if i can install without the product key and still use it for 21-30 days before having register with microsoft? Like win xp,vista & win 7 etc Thanks!

Hi samuria, Do you know anyone with a copy of windows 10? im looking into buying a copy of windows 10 from online auction.2 days left and its at £3 at the moment without a product key though? think also £2 postage, i might need a key if you knowe where i can get one from, 64-bit home or pro editions, the home 64-bit is £7.
Also do you know if you can get android 4.4 on disk? as it says that online in someone elses listing who is selling the same usb modem.
Never used android so dont know where to find a android operating system.
I may just sell this vodafone modem as im using a 4G K5161z cat4 usb modem at the moment that seems to be alright now as i did have issus at first,it was continually downloading non stop,think it was because it was originally intended to be inserted into vodafone routers as a backup 4G & not for normal use. there are loads of them for sale online for £6+,they do not install a connection manager so it auto connects each time & adds a new version,this is on the 48th connection & to stop it you have to disable it in the connection properties status box where ive unticked all the boxes except the ipv4 one.
Thank you for your reply!
