GL-MT1300 (Beryl) and Huawei E3372 LTE Stick

Technical Support for Routers
1

The GL-MT1300 is running the latest firmware (3.211).

The 3372 stick works elsewhere and is fine.

When I plug the E3372 stick into the MT-1300 USB slot I expected to see it appear as a 3G/4G modem, but it does not.

There was another thread that seemed to talk about this being fixed by changing the IP address of the MT-1300 to something other than 192.168.8.1 (so I changed to 192.168.10.1) but this has no effect.

It also talked about ‘tethering’ to the USB stick - but that did not make sense to me.

How do I get this Router to use the E3372 LTE Stick to provide internet access?

Thanks!

Pat

Hello,

I’m struggling to setup the Huawei E3372h-325 together with my GL-A1300.

Huawei E3372 Device Information:
Device name E3372-325
Hardware version CL5E3372M
Software version 3.0.2.61(H057SP5C983)
Web UI version WEBUI 3.0.2.61(W13SP3C7201)
Configuration file version E3372-325-CUST 3.0.2.1(C965)
IP: 192.168.8.1

GL.iNet device information:
HW: GL-A1300
SW: v4.5.16
IP: 192.168.18.1

What have I done so far:

  • I have checked in my GL-A1300 (IP 192.168.18.1) under “Applications → Plug-ins”, if the packages kmod-usb-net-cdc-ether and usb-modeswitch are installed. Both have been installed before.

  • I have opened the Huawei E3372 configuration page (IP 192.168.8.1) on my PC to activate DMZ Setting with IP 192.168.8.100.
    image
    I have deactivated SIP and UPnP as well.

Current status:
When I plug in the Huawei E3372 to my GL-A1300 the following message is flickering up for some seconds:

Afterwards it is disappearing and looking like this:

What did I miss?
Any proposals?

Thank you in advance!

I was not able to get the E3372 in working state.
Now I have purchased a ZTE MF79U and it was working right from the beginning. Afterwards I have deactivated the integrated Wifi + activated DMZ.

E3372h-325 is the newer version of E3372h-320

I heard that “325” version can have different firmware and some work, while most of them do not work

If you buy an E3372 in Europe then you should go for E3372h-320

Hello @silkweb ,
thank you for your explanation!

I have sent back the E3372-325 and now I’m using the ZTE MF79U.
With the MF79U everything in working fine.

EDIT: I have checked my order. On Amazon it was written “HUAWEI E3372h-320”, but I have received the E3372-325…
