How to Connect Reliance Netconnect on Apple Mac Book

by

Reliance Netconnect USBReliance Netconnect is a wireless internet connection facility by reliance communications which offers you internet access from 400Rs/month and it is under the Best Wireless Connection Data Card USB List. The normal windows version computers and laptops can easily run the reliance wireless connection using the netconnect product but the main problem comes in when you are trying to use the same connection via a apple mac book or any mac version.

Mac Book Amit

In case of Mac if you are having a local wifi connection the Airport connection would be active and normally when you try to plugin in the reliance net connect device its automatically found by the device manager. You just need to select the device from the network configurations option and select CDMA 1x Win W01k modem, and dial in the phone number – #777 [Reliance Netconnect phone Number] with your login details provided to you by reliance officials. Though i have previously mentioned reliance net connect does not offer you a good speed but its a speed always better than the airtel usb wireless connection.
Supported versions : MAC OS X Versions 10.1.2 through 10.1.5 (Jaguar)

  14. how to connect reliance ZTE MG880 modem through usb port on macbook having leopard os

  16. Well this is My experience with reliance data card..a Huawei one

    1st the drivers: As I have used a datacard from Huawei for Three UK so was already having it . I got them from here.
    http://www.three.co.uk/personal/products_services_/mobile_broadband_/gotaquestion.omp

    follow the “setup and installation” link

    2nd The connection: Mine was a brand new connection, what I was strugling was how to activate the connection , every where it was written call some 3 digit number from the datacard..but in Mac i dint have that UI, so first installed the stuff in a Windows PC and then got the connection activated. Then connected it to Mac and all was up and running.. though pathetic speed.

    hope this helps

  26. i am also one of the victim of the reliance netconnect i bought the connection at december and i closed the connection on janauary but he never stopped me sending me bill i went to the reliance world again and again but there was just a consolidated response they say “dont worry” its not a problem we will do it right.
    finally i got a notice from court to be present before lokadalath i was shocked then i again went to the reliance world the answer was the same finally i have to pay 3000/ rs without any mistake of mine. there are 1000s of people who daily come to the lok adalath daily all are reliance company victims.
    The reliance is the biggest frauds i have paid 3000/ rs without any reason the actual fault was the companies but i was the victim.
    how do you think that they have the crores this is the reason. Never go to any reliance postpaid or prepaid products. this is a kind request to all indians never buy these frauds products.

  29. Dear All,

    I have Mac snow leopard 10.6 and bought a TATA photo+ internet data card, but its not getting installed on it. is there a solution to this?

    • do not try to install the mobile connect application. right click it you have to select contents and go to resources and then install the file mobile_connect_drv_app.pkg.

      • Download new driver from reliancenetconnect.com. worked like a champ.
        Donot use the driver that comes with the device.

  30. hello i have a macbook pro 10.6 plus a reliance broadband ,but not able to instal the same on the apple can anyone pls help me,

  32. Hi,

    I have a macbook with snow leopard. I bought Reliance Net connect last week. The mac driver that came with it didnt work. I went to the Reliance world and they installed a new driver for snow leopard. It works since then but the settings dialog is different. Nevertheless, its been working satisfactory. I was wondering if there is a way to increase the speed etc.

    • hi Suhas,
      Iam not able to install reliance netconnect broadband+ on my mac with 10.6 plz help,and were you able to increase the speed further?

      • Jay,

        I was not able to change the speed but you should be able to atleast install the netconnect (MobileconnectDriver ver 4.15) and use it.

  35. I need help to connect reliance broadband plus on apple macbook. Can you please send me details steps how I can connect it.

    Thanks,

    http://www.rcom.co.in/Rcom/personal/internet/wireless_internet.html#
    middle of this page u will find a purple tab with Tariff Devices Compare Download.
    so click on “download” here you will find device drives,select zte ac 2726
    download it and install,try connecting through it,if it works well n good,or else keep that program as it is and download the Mac program through the virtual software in the ZTE 2726 and this will work fine.
    I think the old drivers that we download through the website has some drivers which are missing in the virtual install.Hope it works for you.
    feel free to reply if any help needed.

    cheers

    In my name/Library/Logs ————> I can able to application crash

    and the information is some library files 7.0.0 are later are required and the present 5.0.0 are available, is the problem with MAC Tiger 10.4.10 or Reliance Installation file? As I tried all the .dmg files from ZTE website and given by Amit Bhawani.

    Can you please give me the resolution.

    In Windows I am able to work.

    Thanks in advance.

  41. hi, am facing same problem. It jst says incompatible library version. Have been contacting tech support of reliance and it seems they have no idea of what i explained.

  43. I got one Reliance Broadband+ connection. ZTE-AC2736. I couldn’t use it. Please let me know How to do it. I am using Apple mac version Mac OS X 10.4.8 (8N1150).

    I dont know wheather it will work with this model or not.

    regards

    Salil

  44. Salil,

    I had exactly the same issue. It works. But needs manual installation.

    Try this (working for me):
    1. Install the software provided. You will not be able to launch the dialer. So do not fret.

    2. Open System preference, click on Network. When you do, you might either find a pop-up saying “ZTE Wirless Terminal Found” click OK or you will already have “ZTE Wireless Terminal”;

    3. Highlight “ZTE Wireless Terminal” in the list and click configure;

    4. Click PPP –
    A. Name the service provider as Reliance (optional though)
    B. Enter your Account Number provided by reliance 937########
    C. Enter the password, which is normally your account Number
    D. Enter Telephone Number as #777
    E. Click “Apply Now”

    5. Click Modem, you will find drop down list of modems. Choose “ZTE Wireless Terminal” and click “Apply Now” and close the window

    6. In the doc click on internet connect and you will find “ZTE Wireless Terminal”, check if all the areas are entered right. and you are set to connect

    7. When you plug in the modem, make sure you eject the driver folder with the logo of a CD and then manually you will have to enter the password (for me every time i want to use it, i have to reenter the password)

    8. Click “Connect” and you are connected

    Sorry, if the explanation is too simple.

    Enjoy and let me know if it works

    John

    • Yes I did the same and I can use the ZTE modem on my macos 10.6

  50. Hey,

    i just bought a mac book pro.. as i try to install ZTE AC2736 modem, it installs but when i use it, the system gives some error and shuts down.. can i know what should i do? are the drivers of the device not updated yet?

    • My OS X version is 10.6.7 .. the software included in the app installs the app also.. which is the inbuilt driver.. please tell me what do i do?

  51. Hello Guys,
    I am using Macbook Pro – Snow Leopard 10.6.7.
    I have an issue here related to the reliance netconnect ZTE AC 2726 model. I am trying to connect the same and it works pretty fine for few minutes and after that macbook throws an error please restart your laptop.
    I have analyzed that why this error in coming in the dump logs and came to find the following error as,
    Terminate called after throwing an instance of ‘STD:runtime error’ what ():locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid
    Abort trap
    logout
    exit

    I had tried the mac drivers for all the models like 2726, 2737, 8730 which are available on the reliance webworld but still the issue not resolved.

    Today I have visited the ZTE service centre and they had installed the ZTE AC 2737 drivers and that time it was working (checked for 30 minutes) but now sadly not working.

    In this blog, I had tried to install the driver via package details but still the issue not resolved.

    Assistance required.
    Please do the needful.
