Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my E5578 is V4 or V5?
Insert a non-original SIM card. If the router asks for an 8-digit code, it is V4. If it asks for 16 digits, it is V5. Most E5578 models are V4.
Is the unlock permanent?
Yes. Both code-based and remote unlocks are permanent and survive firmware updates and factory resets.
Can the E5885 Ethernet port be used after unlocking?
Yes. Unlocking only removes the SIM carrier restriction. All device features including the RJ45 Ethernet port, touchscreen, and power bank function remain unchanged.
