Hi Folks!

I own a MT300A-Ext with Fw 2.25 and a Vodafone K5150-4G-Stick.
The 5150 dosen’t work.

The ROOter-Fw for MT300A (wich is support this Stick) is not avaible anymore.
How do I manage the stick to work?

TIA
Mierscheid

When you plug the stick in the the router, there is no device available?

can you give the log?

Maybe it’s because of my version of the Stick: “K5150 Enterprise”, Fw 21.436.11.14.11, “5.0”

Can you install kmod-usb-net-cdc-mbim and check it works?

 

5

It’s already installed. :frowning:

6

BTW: A few hours ago, I installed the brandnew ROOter, Golden Orb, for MT300A.

7

So ROOter works?

If it works please keep using it.

If you use openwrt, maybe you can try to add 12d1:15ec in /etc/usb-mode.json

There is one 12d1:15e7, maybe you just copy that?

8

No, ROOter also dosen’t works. :frowning:

I’ve made (hope so) the changes, you suggested, but there is still no Modem avaible.

Finally, I got MT300A with K5150 Enterprise to work well:

1.) nano /usr/lib/rooter/modeswitch.sh Add after line 264: if [ $idV = 12d1 -a $idP = 157d ]; then retval=0 fi retval=0

2.)
nano <span class=“wcrep2”>/etc/usb-mode.json</span>
Change line 2182 from
“12d1:15e7”
to
“12d1:15ec”
