Hello,
Today I have the following setup:
But I would like to add an external SSD to the Brume 2 as a network storage.
I tried using a USB hub, but Brume 2 didn't recognise the GL-M2 when using the HUB.
Desired topology:
Is there a workaround?
I think it shall be a power issue, since the usb output of Brume2 is limited.
Could you give it a try with another usb hub of external power supply?
It has been suggested by several people that the issue could be related to power. I am not sure that this is the case, as GL-M2 has its own external power supply of 12V. In order to test this, I purchased a TP-Link UH700 (UH700 | USB 3.0 7-Port Hub | TP-Link). Unfortunately, this produced the same result.
Ssh into the router, run command cat /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices before plugging the m.2, after plugging the m.2 directly and after plugging it through a hub. Post the results
Alternatively, you can install usbutils with "opkg" and then simply type "lsusb"
Hello @jabbik ,
There is the results:

From what I can see your device is correctly recognized after connecting through a hub, it is assigned with correct drivers, the only difference being usb bus and device ID. While it should not make a difference it clearly does so I am thinking you have the same problem as I do in my post - GL.iNET GUI doesn't recognize modem because it presents different data than the GUI expects which is clearly a bug.
My post
If I were in your shoes I would try to map the device to match it with a "no hub direct USB" parameters, something like this
@bruce Hey, do you think this can be considered a Bug that could be fixed in the next version?
Let us have a check, to confirm if it is a bug.
Execute cat /proc/gl-hw-info/usb-port to see if is there the bus.
Same result on both scenarios using this command:
With GL-M2 Connected Direcetly
root@GL-MT2500:~# cat /proc/gl-hw-info/usb-port
1-1,2-1
With GL-M2 Connected trough HUB
root@GL-MT2500:~# cat /proc/gl-hw-info/usb-port
1-1,2-1
Even whitout anything connected is the same output.
follow the steps below to share your device so you can troubleshoot it remotely
Technical Support via GoodCloud.tar (192 KB)Thanks!
Hey @Javon_ma , will do.
But in order to troubleshoot, you need me to leave the modem connect trough the USB HUB right?
hey @gutobueno
right, the modem connect trough the USB HUB
I already leave lime that and sent the credencial to @Javon_ma in private.
hey @gutobueno
As shown in the figure below,
the enumerated bus ID is the information of USB HUB, and we cannot match the device information of USB HUBs. You need to discard the USB HUB and directly connect GL-M2
It is know that, in the absence of the HUB, the functionality would be unaffected, which is why I created this forum post.
It is worth noting that all other USB functions of the router, such as Telthering and USB Storage, are operational with the USB HUB.
It is interesting to note that this is the only GLINET-issued modem for USB usage. Third-party modems that use Telthering work without issue.
For that reason, I would like to suggest that this is considered a bug.
If it's not too much trouble, could you kindly let me know if there is a workaround that would allow me to use the HUB with the modem?

I cannot agree more. This is such a nice product that deserves to be properly executed without bugs.
I have the same configuration with the same problem: soon as I put the USB hub between Brume2's USB-A port and the GL.M2 development board, I cannot use the cellular function but as soon as I connect GL.M2 directly to Brume2 the cellular function works fine.
PLEASE find a workaround for this as I still want to use the other USB functions of Brume2.
It would be even more ridiculous not to resolve this facing the fact that in "WAN" Managemant you can even select the hierarchy of all 3 possible connection types (Ethernet, Tethering and Cellular) while you only can use 2 due to this bug.
Come on dear GL-Inet developers. You create so nice products, this should not be a rocket science for you, huh?

hey @gutobueno
What version of Brume2 are you currently using? I will provide a library file for you to replace and verify the effect.
