Using any dongle in Funbook


Here is the steps to connect the Micromax Funbook tabs to USB dongle. This method will work on all the Funbook model.
Although Funbook comes with pre-bundled Tata Photon but had some kind of issues with the connectivity. However, the fact is that you can use any USB Modem/Dongle in Micromax Funbook and connect to the internet. And, here is how you go about it!

Steps to connect USB Modem/Dongle in Micromax Funbook

1.Connect the dongle to the Funbook tablet and wait for sometime till the tablet reads it.

2. Go to Settings in your Funbook and select More option.
3. Select Mobile Networks  and in that again select Acess Point Name[APN].
4. Now choose New APN option.
5. Just make the following changes[ Name, APN and Dial Number] :-
~ Fix the network name. Eg:- For Tata photon just write TP or Tata or anything as you wish.
Careful with APN, search the net for your service provider’s APN. Then write it precisely.
~ Dongles come with dial number. Check your purchase papers/manuals or simply search it Google and note it. Fill the same here and you are done. e.g, For Reliance it is#777 and Tata Docomo it is #999.
Cheers! You are now free to use the USB dongle of your choice and just connect to the internet.
You are now ready to explore a new world of fun. A word of caution here – if you are outside your home circle, then make sure you activate the Data Roaming option for unrestricted browsing.

    1. I tried MTS Mblaze and it works if correct APN is given...any dongle would work with it, u just have to type the correct APN number.
      If ur using any sim through a dongle then just connect it. It would work on its own
