ZTE’s MF28x series is one of the most extensive lineups of 4G LTE indoor CPE routers available, deployed by carriers across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia Pacific. Models like the MF283, MF285, MF286, MF287, MF288, and MF289 provide home broadband via 4G with Ethernet ports, Wi-Fi, and external antenna support.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my router needs code or remote unlock?
Insert a non-original SIM and power on. If the web interface asks for an unlock code, use the code method. If it does not prompt, you need remote software unlocking.
Is the unlock permanent?
Yes. Both code and remote unlocks are permanent.
What is the default IP for ZTE routers?
Most ZTE routers use 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1. Check the label on your device.
