    How to get Wi-Fi signal out of a nokia fastmile 4g17-a?

    I had a contract with Vodafone which is not in place anymore, I’m now left with the nokia fastmile 4g17-a and the Vodafone station SGH3000. Assuming the latter is locked to Vodafone, how do I get a wifi signal out of the Nokia Fastmile 4g17-a using a simcard from another provider? I mean what’s missing to get the wifi up and running?
    I managed to remove the Vodafone simcard from the Nokia router/aerial, which wasn’t the easiest thing to do as the simcard tray is well hidden and had to buy a torx keys set to open it. I inserted the new simcard then using the Nokia Wireless app I managed to connect my phone to the aerial, set it to default factory and rebooted.
    My knowledge seems to stop/pause here, not sure what I need to add to this set-up to get wifi out of that (apparently decent, so they say) Nokia router. Thanks.

        You won`t get that thing working without an unlock code.

            Hi, from the app I see (I think, see screenshots attached) I’m already connected to the Nokia, what do you mean by working, the unlock code will give me straight access to Wi-Fi directly with the Nokia aerial without a further router?

                Sorry but Im confused, are you wanting help with getting the device to be able to access the internet or not.

                    He also has a post here, but it doesn’t seem to be from the same brand router.

                            Hi, sorry I have two jobs and a family so can’t always reply immediately. Anyway what I need is a computer to connect to the Nokia so I will do that, being that equipment in a building where I won’t have access for quite a few weeks I suppose this thread can be closed down too as I won’t be able to reply shortly.

                            The other thread was completely unrelated, couldn’t access an Alcatel mini/portable router to change language from Czech, it was suggested I changed browser which didn’t work. That’s fine I’ll bin that router it was a cheap Vinted purchase.
