The default IP address on the Telstra MF823 4G router is 192.168.0.1

If you want to connect this to a router, and to a LAN that has the same IP range (but this should never happen in the real world……) you need to change the IP on the router.

 

You can call Telstra, bump your ass on the moon for a while, or follow these steps.

Connect modem to PC, check that its all working correctly. Ping 192.168.0.1

If all is working OK, then start up PUTTY or any other telnet client.

Telnet to 192.168.0.1

Username: root
Password: zte9x15

browse to the config file.

cd /usr/zte_web/web/js/config/datacard/mf832

Now make a backup copy of the current settings file

cp ./menu.js ./menu.js.old

  path:'adm/lan',

},

Now hit Escape :w to save the file
Then Control + Z to exit.
