Huawei E3372 Api
Heron Mathis
Having said that I have found that the Huawei is a good modem with a very good receiver front end. I find that I can hang onto a weak 4G signal with the E3372 which is not the case with a TP-Link MR200 that drops the signal at any excuse! (Both connected to the high gain antenna)
hello all, the same problem, I bought a usb lte huawei E3372 key but my mt300a does not recognize it, the latest firmware installed on the 2.261.
Who would be the person who tested this E3372?
Is it useless to try out the latest firmware versions?
What alternative can you point to instead of the E3372
I'm using an USB Stick Huawei E3372 via kmod-usb-net-cdc-ether. It's like a usual Ethernet device with a Gateway on 192.168.8.1 and a webinterface for configuration. Too bad, the network is fixed to that 192.168.8.0/24 address in the firmware and can't be changed according to many threads in the internet.
This conflicts with my main VPN.
Hi.
You can modify this HiLink it to a S ( stick ) mode serial.
On S mode you will get rid of double nat. It will be a NCM usb lte dongle ( no more ether-cdc no more 192.168.8.1. Your new interface will be dhcp mode from you ISP)
Ok, reading -a-huawei-e3372h-4g-lte-stick-from-hilink-to-stick-mode/ I got an idea what you mean. So the firmware of that device needs to be flashed to that other version.
Afterwards, will I still be able to access the webinterface of the device? I guess not, but this is very useful to evaluate the reception quality, setting the mobile network modes etc. And actually using the ether-cdc mode is also quite comfortable.
So there is no other way to just mask or alias the 192.168.8.0/24 network to something else? Linux should have ways for something like that.
For the mobile network mode, it seems you are already doing things in your config like "preferlte", is that documented somewhere? Is it possible to create that config via LuCI or only via editor? Which OpenWRT packages would I need for NCM?
I think you might need to place wan and your VPN interface in a new namespace then veth pair with one end in new namespace and other end in normal namespace. The link above provides everything you need on how to do that once you have ensured you have the 'ip-full' package installed or otherwise have namespace support.
I tried myself to do this but failed to make it all work so I'd really like to know how you manage it if you do. In particular, I managed to set up the namespace and veth pair particulars, but I could not work out how to set up the routing on both sides, and then gave up. My use case is different to yours, namely I just want a single interface on which to apply CAKE to both VPN and non-VPN traffic. I ended up using the 'ifb' approach, but would still be interested to try this namespace/veth approach if I can see how to make it all work.
HI.
Correct, no more web-interface for the E3372. You will only use luci network --> interface to configure your LTE connection.
You can use 3ginfo to monitor your connection status.
-app-3ginfo
No alias, as serial mode the usb modem will deliver a dynamic IP provide from your ISP to your LTE ( wwanX ) interface.
Hi.
Same for my huawei B315s in bridge mode with a public IP provided to my openwrt router I still connect to the web interface of the B315s.
And as your huawei is a modem router too, but this E3372 is a modem only, and with S mode no more gui interface needed.
You can add an infinite number of such exceptions. All it hurts is the ability to use those addresses on the WAN, which usually isn't a problem for 192.168.0.0/16 and the likes. Although it could be since mobile operators like to use CGNAT with RFC1918 addresses.
I'm totally new to OpenWRT. I have been working with computers since the early 90's, mostly DOS and Windows. But I've done my fair share of pfSense and Raspbian, not to mention tons of different wireless routers, still this is something I have no experience with. I have set up a Raspberry Pi 3B, and I have no problems using it as a firewall with the built-in wifi, just as a test. But what I am really going to use it for, is with a Huawei e3372 LTE modem, and it's going to be in my car (using ESPresense and the Hass MercedesMe integration on another Pi connected to it, to mimic keyless entry). So I found this thread Huawei e3372 does not work with OpenWrt and followed what had be done there.
I thought that would work, bot it doesn't. I do not get another ethernet connection that I can add, there's nothing new under device. When I put it in the other Pi, I get the HiLink-interface, and according to that it's all working. The firmware version is 11.0.1.1(H697SP2C983).
Thanks a lot! I added the package, and bang, it popped up! eth1 in da house! I can ping VG and all (my goto ping, Norwegian newspaper). So if anybody finds this thread wile trying to get this thing to work, I used these packages:
Btw is it possible to do a dual headed WAN on OpenWRT? So that when my wifi is within reach it will use that instead of the 4G modem? It would have to be without physically pulling the 4G modem out, because the whole seupt is going to be hidden in a box under the dash of the car.
Same problem with mwan3 as with Adblock. I installed the packages mwan3 and luci-app-mwan3, and the menuitem "MultiWAN Manager" doesn't surface under the "Network" menu as it should according to the info page. I think I'll flash again tomorrrow and set it up from the ground again, in case I have done something wonky when I've been trying to get it working.
I did a new flash and rebuild, but it doesn't help. I don't get anything new in the Network menu, and I don't get a Service menu at all. I have rebooted, turned off completely and restarted, and I tried a fix from an old GitHub-thread,
Just weird... Tried another SD Card, no result. Tried another Pi...sudenly I managed to install the packages, but now the setting aren't saved when I change anything. I have checked, and only the boot is read only, and there's plenty of space on the other partitions.
Long story, getting longer... I only installed the other packages and I can now save and do changes. Seems like I'll have to install the Huawei stuff last, when everything else is set up, something in there seems to stop me from making changes that stick. So when I get this working I'll save it on several image backups on my severs!
Finally! I did all the changes I needed and finished off with the Huawei stuff, and I can still save changes, so I guess it was something weird about that first Pi and maybe a garbled download of a package, or something. Everything except for the jail list in Adblock works, so now I'm closing ending this and asking in the Adblock suport thread about the jail list.
