Hello!

I have installed the dd-wrt kong mod version, all is fine, except the internet connection.
i tried several tipps on the internet without success. ok stop i got it to work, but it's no option.

the only way to get it to work is:

1. WAN Type = Mobile Broatband
2. Services = USB Core Support enabled
3. Startup Script = insmod usbnet; insmod cdc_ether
4. Reboot
5. ifconfig -a => eth3 to set it up -> ifconfig eth3 up
6. There is no way to get an IP or to set on, so
7. Change WAN Type from "mobile broadband" to "DHCP"
8. uhcpc -i eth3
9. Internet works

But after a reboot its the same game... and very boring.

Any ideas??

I would be happy if someone could help me, after ours I am giving up...

thx & so long

1. WAN Type = DHCP
2. Services = USB Core Support enabled
3. Startup Script
Code:
insmod usbnet
insmod cdc_ether

4. Reboout
5. Startup Script append with:
Code:
sb_modeswitch -J -v 0x12d1 -p 0x1f01 (in this case a Huawei E3372 Hilink) -> Info you will get with "lsusb"
sleep 20
udhcpc -i eth3

9. Internet works

Hi,

I tried these steps but my E3372 (hilink) still isn't working with DD-WRT...

Have you got any more advice? Where did you get these steps from?

Hardware and DD-WRT info as follows:

Router with DD-WRT:
Router Model: Asus RT-N18U
Firmware Version: DD-WRT v24-sp2 (05/27/14) std - build 24160M
Kernel Version: Linux 3.10.40 #2701 Tue May 27 05:52:37 CEST 2014 armv7l

4G USB / WIFI router info:
Device name: Huawei EC5373u-819
Hardware version: CL1EC5377UM
Software version: 11.432.04.00.45
Web UI version: 16.100.02.01.45

Huawei is working well independently with WIFI connection but trying to plug in Asus' router USB and to utilize its broadband connection, Asus router with DD-WRT doesn't recognize WAN (broadband connection) with WAN as DHCP type.

You urgent help is warmly welcome Smile

And startup as follows:

Startup commands wrote:
insmod usbnet
insmod cdc_ether
usb_modeswitch -v 12d1 -p 1f01
sleep 20
udhcpc -i eth0


Is eth0 correct for USB?
(eth3 didn't echo anything...)

Sleep command not actually needed because Huawei with battery and therefore it's already on when Asus router is starting with DD-WRT.

Now I managed to get IP from Huawei USB HiLnk with the following commads:
Startup command wrote:
insmod usbnet
insmod cdc_ether
usb_modeswitch J -v 0x12d1 -p 0x1f01
sleep 20
udhcpc -i eth2


WAN status shows correctly HiLink's Gateway and DNS (192.168.8.1). The internet connection status light is on with Asus router. But finally can't access to internet.

Advices welcome - thank you.

Correction to above: It was Huawei 3372 HiLink when WAN seems to be up but no internet connection.

(with earlier header Huawei EC5373u-819 still no response at all)

I want to try this, I think I know what's missing.

The thing is I don't have cdc_ether.ko. Where did you get this?

To find interface name just enter via console:

dmesg|grep cdc_ether
or
dmesg|grep cdc


I trust they gave dmesg in ther dd-wrt:)

Hello,

what is the current status?

Is the broadband modem connection with Kong's build 29900 now working?

If yes, what has to be done to get it working?
Working: dd-wrt WAN connection with the e3372h (hilink), which can be pinged from outside (yes I know, I want the full package:-)

Of course, I tried the simple thing and connected the e3372h with the wrt1900acs and changed the WAN connection type accordingly - but without success...

Regards, Martin

Yes hilink is working, but right now cannot be configured through the webif. On my routers I configure/switch between different modes e.g. mobile wan through LTE, wireless client as wan etc. through a custom app that connects to a webservice on the router:-)

The app also displays info from the hilink interface such a signal strength etc., but this is not public atm. If I get really bored I'll add hilink support to the webif, but this is low prio for me.
