Unlocking mobile router in UK

I am extremely disappointed with NETGEAR. 

I bought the above router (unlocked), which had to be returned to NETGEAR, and replaced. A replaced router was sent by NETGEAR, but is locked!! I was told it was straightforward to unlock. It isn't!!

 

Having gone onto Google,and trying to get a code, I still don't have one. Apparently, I need an 8 digit code, whereas everyone seems to supply a longer code. 

I am really disappointed. I do not feel NETGEAR have adequately supported me in getting their replacement to work. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    And the model number of that "router" is? (I can see no "above".) Look for something like MR1100.

     

    I assume that it is one of the "Mobile Routers, Hotspots & Modems" covered in this bit of the Netgear community.
