Luckily I had 12v 45w power supply to hand(Zyxel one is 36W). I gave that a go and still the same problem. Link will come up on the 4G and I can run ping tests etc as soon as I run a speed test or launch a webpage everything locks up. I suspect either the dongle or my router is faulty. Does anyone know any alternatives to…

Hi, Thanks for the tip. I was using a short USB extension cable and an external antenna for the stick but it was doing the same even when plugged in directly to the port on the router. To try and reduce the power draw on the router, I disconnected all but one of the Ethernet cables switched off the Wifi and connected the…

Hi and thanks for the reply, No I don't have a pin configured and the Cellular is configured as a backup. When I disconnect the Ethernet connection it does seem to connect via the cellular connection and I can still ping websites etc. Within a few seconds though the connection to the router drops, I can't even ping the…

So the saga continues. I ordered an E3372s. I plugged it in and 3G modem was recognized, success I think! All configured up and then disconnect the Ethernet WAN cable to test. I get about 5 seconds of internet access via the 4G and then the router crashes :( Web GUI becomes unresponsive I can't even ping the router IP.…

I configured it fine in the Modems web browser (192.168.8.1) and it connects to the 4g network it even connects when connected to the routers usb port it just won't communicate with the router. There are lots of comments out there stating firmware earlier than -320 can be mode switched from HiLink to Stickmode sometimes…

I think I have got to the bottom of it. The stick I have is E3372h-325 I need an E3372s-153. The h stands for Hilink the s stands for stick mode. The h firmware functions as a router the s firmware functions as a modem. There are a lot of articles about re flashing h firmware to s firmware but they say it does not work on…

Hi, Thanks for having a look it seems you have pretty much confirmed what I already found so at least it's not just me being dense. I also tried an older E392u-12 I have but no joy. I would give an E3131i-2 a go but I need a dongle with an external antenna. I have also asked my ISP hopefully they will come back with…
