Can someone who can get the 160 to work, please explain how to open/forward ports using this device.
I’m trying to download BT stuff and its agonizingly slow, the problem seems to be port mapping?

Many thanks!

I would like to know how to unlock the E160G Modem that I purchased outright. It works fine in most capital cities but is no good in North Queensland Australia unless you want to pay .50c mb roaming on the ‘T’ network. I should work with other sim cards. Can anyone enlighten me?

Sorry, I have no idea how to unlock a E160G. A quick check of Google shows a few sites who can help you.

sounds like this is a nifty little way of getting connected to the net. as much as i loathe “australia’s largest phone company”, unfortunately they do have the fastest and best coverage. i’m thinking of getting the modem through three, and most of the time use their account, but for times when network connectivity is limited on three, then getting a “T” (i hate using their full name) pre-paid or similar (even if if it ridiculously expensive). three told me that it costs about $100 to unlock the modem (or i’m sure there’s some other method)…..but my question is, will the E160G modem work (and give better speed) on the faster 7.2 network?

Check the BIOS boot order, the E160G has a inbuilt MicroSD reader so your machine could be trying to boot from that instead of your hard drive.
