I bought a used E3276s (Telekom Speedstick LTE III)
Updated Firmware to E3276s-861_21.400.03.00.00
Installed all cdc/ncm packages
In Openwrt it modeswitches to
P: Vendor=12d1 ProdID=1506 Rev= 1.02
and I get two ttyUSB and a huawei_cdc_ncm device, also ifconfig shows wwan0.
All as expected
But it doesn't actually connect to the internet. (blinks cyan every 3 seconds)
Stick is working with the Included "Internet Manager" and a Telekom card though, so it's not broken.
It is not sim- nor netlocked though
It also connects to other LTE networks (blinks cyan every 3 seconds) But the "Internet Manager" refuses to connect with non Telekom cards, i guess that's a SW issue though and I don't bother
I also have had the exact same stick for a long time now with the same firmware as the "new" one and that one automatically connects every time it is plugged in.
I remember when I first got it I had the same problem but then I sent some AT commands to it I found "somewhere" and at some point the stick started autoconnecting to the internet.
But I can't remember nor find those commands anymore.
Any Ideas how to configure this stick to autoconnect every time it's plugged in?
BTW, what is the hardware version of your stick - E3276s-what? Is it -861 as in the update file you used? That should be printed under the hood or you can inquire with AT^FHVER
That is so strange, I already configured the interface yesterday. But luci-proto-ncm
didn't seem to work correctly (complaining unsupported interface type)
Then I gave up and rebooted.
Now I wanted to try again and send
AT^SETPORT="FF;10,12,16"
you mentioned.
AT^SETPORT="combination" - switch ports required in combination, for example, AT^SETPORT="A1,A2;10,12,16,A1,A2"
replacing A1,A2 with FF turns off need for usb_modeswitch
AT^SETPORT="FF;10,12,16"
^GETPORTMODE: TYPE: WCDMA: huawei,MDM:0,PCUI:1,NDIS:2,
Some years ago I hadn't managed to run Huawei modem with Stick firmware. So the issue is that scripts from usbmodeswitch package don't work correctly? However in ROOter (https://www.ofmodemsandmen.com/firmware.html), and Gargoyle (https://www.gargoyle-router.com/) firmware it worked out-of-the-box. I've installed Hilink firmware, it works absolutely without any problem.
I have exactly the same modem and trouble as Sterlink, however the modem connects only if I first unplug and then plug it in, and the restarts the interface. Trying your suggested solution, but in what file do I type the modem commands (AT etc)?
Thanks, but the unit will be far away from me and everything needs to run fully automatic (like it was in the outdated Dovado Tiny AC). I found a script here. Can I replace the phrase AT^NDISDUP=1,1,"your_apn_address"
in the file /etc/init.d/ncm-network with AT^SETPORT="FF;10,12,16"
?
