I'm struggling to get a USB LTE modem (ZTE MF823) to work with my 8800AXL R2 (2.52.d18), the device is recognised but gets stuck trying to connect, but does obtain signal.

I'm using a Sky Mobile sim in the UK, I believe with the correct APN, but unclear if the dial/tel no is correct beyond the default.

Has any one managed to get ZTE MF823 working, and/or Sky Mobile? Any suggestions?

Looks like it get stuck at the end of this system.log; bit worried that E3372h appears and is a different (and unsupported?) modem.

Try using the attached firmware with the MF823, and if you still have issues, change the system log levels to debugging, unplug the dongle, plug it back in wait 5 minutes, then send over a copy of your system log.

That worked, thank you.
