Verizon USB730L with the MT1300?

Hoping anyone can attest to the USB730L modem working with any of the GL-iNet routers. What models work? Any tips & tricks? Thanks in advance!!

Is it hostless? If yes then it should work as tethering.

That’s exactly how it happened. Couldn’t have been easier.

I am attempting to get a U620L working with the MT1300, without much success. Should it really be plug and play or are any configuration adjustments required. The modem works on my Macbook Pro, but looks to be in end-user mode.

When plugged into the MT1300, it pulls an IP address in the 100.x.x.x range, but I can’t connect to internet after connectin to MT1300 over wifi. Any additional thoughts/recommendations?

As long as it pulls IP, it is likely working already.

Can you ssh to the router and try doing ping there?

ping 8.8.8.8
ping google.com

When I did this, I was able to ping successfully. The Multi-WAN tests still fail, but it appears to be working now

So I am attempting to move this setup into my UDM Pro firewall setup as a secondary WAN connection that will only be used when my primary connection fails. I am connecting the secondary WAN port on my firewall to the LAN2 connection on the GL.Net router. Everything works as expected as long as both the primary WAN and secondary WAN connections are active. I have validate this by ssh’ing to the MT13000 and performing a ping test, as well as setting a traffic rule on the UDM Pro to route specific traffic over WAN2.

When I disconnect the primary WAN connection, things stop working. When the primary and secondary WAN connections are active, the USB modem has a 100.x.x.x IP and traffic will route over WAN 2. If I disconnect WAN1 the USB modem IP changes to 192.168.1.2 and will not re-pull a good 100.x.x.x IP address from Verizon unless I either disconnect the GL.Net router completely from UDM Pro or reconnect the primary WAN connection.

I can’t figure out why this is happening or if the issue is on the GL.Net side or the UDM Pro.

Thoughts?

Looks like it is in Enterprise Mode from what I can tell.

If the device is in End-User Mode, the response is:
ID 1410:9020 Novatel Wireless
If the device is in Enterprise Mode, the response is:
ID 1410:9022 Novatel Wireless

Any thoughts on why the GL.Net router causes the USB modem to re-acquire an IP address when the primary WAN connection on the firewall is disconnected?

Just a guess but maybe it’s because of mwan3 failover / high-availability. Maybe the system wants to terminate all active sessions when switching to another default route.
