Hello,

I just bought a TP-Link MA260 3G HSPA+ USB dongle.
For would like to use it on VOO (MVNO of Mobistar), a network operator in Belgium (MCC = 206),

I need to force the MNC (Mobile Network Code) from 10 (Mobistar) to 05 (VOO).

The TP-LINK Wireless client only allows for the selection of the manually detected/scanned, not to force any of the parameters.

Can you provide detailed instructions on how to use the MA260 under such conditions?

Best regards,

Roland

What's the band supported by VOO? Are you sure they are compatible with each other?
Supported Band by MA260:
GSM Band 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

VOO is a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) using Mobistar full baseband infrastructure, so the same frequencies : 800(HSPA+)/900(GSM)/1800(GSM)/2100(HSPA+)
Bands are EXACTLY the same, only distinctive parameter is the Mobile Network Code, as mentioned in my original post.

The firmware and SW client for most other 3G/4G USB dongles offer the possibility to set these parameters, but the ones for the MA260.

Please advise.

MCC and MNC info is bulit-in in the firmware.
They can't be modified unfortunately.
