Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/4IceG/ZTE-MF286D/issues/17

Hello, I had a problem with my device. It is not connecting with the Internet. I tried with different SIM cards and it looks like the modem itself works properly (I can check status in 3ginfo: it shows signal strenght, operator name etc.). I can even send and receive SMSes! But at the same time, the qmi-wan interface constantly shows 0 B for both RX and TX and a connection with Internet doesn't works. I have followed the instructions here. What else I can do?

Finally, i got my internal modem to work,
qmi
had to remove uqmi and kmod-usb-net-qmi-wwan then install modemmanager , luci-proto-modemmanager
modemmanager seems to work, without qmi, but the speed seems to be slow." Wojslav

since this is ppp0 i think the speed is max150Mbps .
