ZTE USB Modem not working in Yosemite

I found a solution from web and it works on my ZTE-MF667 with no problem.

  1. Go to System PreferencesNetwork

  2. If you see your USB connection on the left side go to step 5.
    If not, select the "+" icon like this.

  3. Select your Interface and set your Service Name like this, then select Create:

  4. Select ZTEUSBModem and set Configuration-Default, Telephone Number: #99*

    Account Name and Password must be blank.Then select Advanced

  5. Set Vendor: Generic and Model: GPRS(GSM/3G)

  6. Click OK and Connect.


I suspect that your problem is a USB device problem. For some reason Yosemite is not creating the proper device file entry in /dev when a number of USB devices are plugged into the system. Because there is no /dev/ entry after plugin, the software is not able to access the device.
