Huawei E3276 on GL-AR300M

Hi,

I’m trying to get my 4G stick to work on my Gli router. An older E180 stick is recognised without problem, but the E3276 not. It’s just recognised as a mass storage device:

Sun Apr 16 15:00:16 2017 kern.info kernel: [ 380.230000] usb 1-1: USB disconnect, device number 2

Is there anything I can check? Anything I have to install? Does this stick even work on a GLi?

thanks a log

can you using “ifconfig -a” to see if this is a Hilink model and it will create a network interface?

If it is you can set up in the tethering tab.

I checked the internet but seems there is different models of E3276. E3276 should be supported from several years ago but you model seems not.

Hi,

had a few looks around. ifconfig -a gave the following:

Looks like it didn’t create said interface. Does this mean that it’s not a HiLink model? Are there any other ways to get the right drivers onto my AR300?

Under Tethering, where is also nothing to be found.

The stick itself work, I tested this under MacOS with the generic Huawei drivers. The attached screenshot was made there.
