The principle is to get rid of whatever the network provider has put onto the modem and replace it with a generic version. It is called “Firmware upgrade”. This may void the warranty with your provider.

You may also find, it is more complicated (but not impossible to do) to set up connectivity with a new network provider.

1. Download http://support.blue.net.au/downloads/e220unlockingWITH-WINxp.zip and unzip it into a convenient folder
2. Connect HUAWEI E220 to a USB port on the Windows XP computer (assuming the XP computer works well and all setups are default)
3. Update firmware by running E220Update_11.117.09.00.00.exe and follow instructions given along the way. (Alternatively run E220Update_11.110.05.00.00.exe for an older version of the same)
4. Install new generic “Dashboard” by installing HOST11.107.05.00.03.B266.exe
