Using ATX1800 with QUECTEL EM160R-GL

Technical Support for Routers

I now have a Slate Plus connected to an EM160R-GL using firmware 4.2.0 Beta 2, and there’s still nothing showing up in the GUI. Firmware 4.1.2 also didn’t work.

Here’s a snippet from the kernel log:

Here’s my modem details from ATI command:

ATI
Quectel
EM160R-GL
Revision: EM160RGLAUR02A09M4G

And the usbnet query:

AT+QCFG="usbnet"
+QCFG: "usbnet",0

OK

Things I’ve tried:

  1. Plugged in the USB and rebooted the router.
  2. Rebooted the router without USB plugged in, and then plugged in after 5 minutes.
  3. Changes the glconfig setting per this post. I’ve tried both ‘2-1’ and ‘1-1’ (rebooting each time).

I wish you would share what packages you updated for i7bar.
