If you are using MTN FASTLINK
MODEM to surf the Internet, and
you are experiencing difficulties
like slowness, hanging while
browsing etc, whereas your
neighbour with the same
modem usually receives better
internet services, then you may
need to update the firmware of
your modem.
MTN recommends
that you update your FastLink
Data modem firmware to the
latest available version to ensure
that you always receive the best
MTN Broadband user experience.
What is the difference between
Firmware and Software?
Your F@stLink Data modem relies
on two applications or programs
to be able to connect to the MTN
network.
One application is
installed on the modem itself and
the other application installed on
your computer that the card is
used with.
The Application that is
installed on the modem is called
Firmware and the application
that is installed on your
computer is called Software.
Why download the UI software:
This software is the latest version
of software to upgrade your
modem UI, which includes some
of the features that are non-
existent on other UI’s. Some of
these features includes:
* The ability to load Prepaid
airtime
* The ability to check airtime
balance
* The ability to purchase MTN
data and SMS bundles
How to check if you have latest
version:
* Launch the modem UI
(dashboard)
* Go to the “Help” option on the
top menu and click on it
* This will then bring up a
window displaying the version
that you’re currently on.
The
version number would be
represented in the following
manner, MTN F@stLink
11.002.03.14.67
* From this number, the version
number will be the second last
two digits (highlighted in bold
above) which will indicate what
version you’re currently using.
* Should the version of your
modem be below 14, then you
will require an upgrade.
