Download and Fix Modem/ Baseband on ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser

A baseband/modem is a part of the OS that deals with all the network related settings. Hence, a modem is responsible for the proper functioning of the cellular network, internet settings, and other complicated network related stuff. Here is why you should care.

If you flash or have flashed custom ROMs on your device then there are high chances that your device might be missing important firmware elements including the modem itself. This is because components like modem/baseband are included in the stock firmware. The modem is actually found missing in the custom firmware.

So if you are experiencing issues with call quality, low or no network coverage, slow internet speed then the modem can be the culprit in your case. In that case, you will need to flash the stock modem compatible with your device’s model number.

This will also fix the issue for those who have tried to alter or flash some other modem version. Below is a list of devices and two methods to flash the stock modem/baseband version.
