02 USB E220 Huawei Modem Software

The software that comes with this Mobile Connect is unpredictable to say the least, was looking online and was wondering if there was a better way to connect. Does everyone use Mobile Connect ? My bar on HSDPA is only 1, 6 miles away in Castlebar it was 5 bars so that could be dye to crashed but the software IS unstable

Huawei E220 includes its own Windows software in its internal memory, self-installs through the Windows's auto-start feature and can be flashed (overwritten) by the end user. The standard software by Huawei is called Mobile Partner and is indicated by the code UTPS, as it is found on the manufacturer's download site.

Some network operators selling E220, however, replace Huawei's software with their own, which often is software-locked (albeit not SIM-locked) to work only with the operator's own network. End users can use either third-party software such as MWconn (freeware) or alternative operating systems (eg Debian GNU/Linux) to circumvent this and use their E220 with any SIM, or flash their device with Huawei's original software.
