3.0.0.4.374.5656 fixes 3G Dongles Huawei ?

so now you will add it to the script so it will do it automatically when you restart the Router.

in therminal:
vi /jffs/scripts/services-start
when its empty than insert the following there:

#!/bin/sh
# FIX for USB Modem in new Version
echo -e "AT^NDISDUP=1,1,\"internet\"\r" > /dev/ttyUSB1
sleep 5
udhcpc -i usb0 -p /var/run/udhcpc1.pid -s /tmp/udhcpc

if there is already some inside, than only put this at the end of the file:

# FIX for USB Modem in new Version
echo -e "AT^NDISDUP=1,1,\"internet\"\r" > /dev/ttyUSB1
sleep 5
udhcpc -i usb0 -p /var/run/udhcpc1.pid -s /tmp/udhcpc

Save and ready, next boot will enable the internet automatically.

By the way you have to thank su_root for the command or connection string

well I am a Beginner at this so to to be safe ... a BIG thanks to everyone that gave info on how to do it ( hope I cover it)

Yep

I stay with my version... I get a mess with services-start as script name.

init-start with a sleep 120 (so the asus script first fails) works for me.

#!/bin/sh
sleep 120
echo -e "AT^NDISDUP=1,1,\"internet.telenor.se\"\r" > /dev/ttyUSB1
sleep 5
udhcpc -i usb0 -p /var/run/udhcpc1.pid -s /tmp/udhcpc

Maybe something differs with 3G and LTE/4G connections??

 

[Speedy1205]

I just hope ASUS will read this and than they have an idea on how to fix this

or mr Merlin maybe .... and he can tip them off

Cant make it to autostart

Hmm... the script wont start atoumatic. I can only start it with "putty" manally
not that I need to start the Router verry ofthen but it would be nice to get it to autostart. I am going with mr @plun and his init-start and script as follow:
#!/bin/sh
sleep 120
echo -e "AT^NDISDUP=1,1,\"internet.telenor.se\"\r" > /dev/ttyUSB1
sleep 5
udhcpc -i usb0 -p /var/run/udhcpc1.pid -s /tmp/udhcpc

and catalog scripts is lokated in jffs catalog

no autostart
any clues

 

[Speedy1205]

not sure but I believe its to early for this script:

init-start

Right after JFFS just got mounted, and before any of the services get start. This is the earliest part of the boot process where you can insert something.

anyway I think that the delay 120 should be fine anyway. try to make the second sleep a bit bigger:

sleep 10 or 15 and try gain.

#!/bin/sh
sleep 120
echo -e "AT^NDISDUP=1,1,\"internet.telenor.se\"\r" > /dev/ttyUSB1
sleep 15
udhcpc -i usb0 -p /var/run/udhcpc1.pid -s /tmp/udhcpc

and check if there is some in the syslog about this

my sleep times is taken from the sys log and where I can see that the Asus script fails, after that it's time for magic commands...

well I just tried my with this settings and is has no problems. so this timing is good in my case but I use the service-start and you the init so I guess the log will tell a bit more....


just checked my syslog and I dont have any failed script, so maybe it should start before the asus script ?

 

[plun]

Yep....

I cannot understand how Asus tests this without test guinea-pidgeons??

Asus Sweden are just noobs on this and I can freely be a guinea-pidgeon for testing.

Or that they maybe can use master Merlin for this test?

 

[Speedy1205]

well well they know the issue and its in Development. When I checked the last version released it should be soon a beta or Alpha. You can just point them to this discussion here and they will find the solution on how to fix it, but for sure they will not use the RMerlin build.

Do not waste time with them and tell that a known issue

 

[Speedy1205]

this is what I got:

Dear Valued Customer,

I suggers you stay with the older version of the firmware for now. I have alerted our R&D department in Taiwan and they are looking into the matter. If in fact there is an issue with the current firmware, new version will be released and it will be avilable on the product's page. I will inform you of the findings as soon as I will receive the information from our HQ.

 

[plun]

this is what I got:

They cannot fix this without IRL testers around the world. Probably just a mess as with the latest connection script, who wrote that?

It must be much easier testing solutions for example with help from Merlin, the vip asus forum is just a big mess and filled with (sorry) "noobs".

well I know that. But believe me with all different FW you have problems. I had couple of routers with DD-WRT, openwrt, buffalo etc, and believe me that the RMerlin is one the best I had. It easy to use, lot of stuff what I want and need and pretty stable anyway. It has also the bugs or some problems, but still sometimes better than other firmwares.

VIP Forum is for reading, that's why I'm here and when some issue is which can not be fixed here, I report it to Asus . They screwed it but they will fix it .... this here is a community and that's why the fixes / modifications are more easy. Because all are helping..... RMerlin doesn't have the stuff to fix it so he simply can not and we need to wait for the official fix. I think in Taiwan they are at the best place to test Huawei Modems (not even sure where they are produced)

 

[RMerlin]

Yep....

Any kind of 3G/4G related testing is out of the question for me. Local providers suck and are expensive. I'm nearing the limit of my monthly quota already at this point on my cell plan, with 8 days left to my billing period.

Agree.... but here in Poland are still people without a cable, DSL or whatever. n before buying a 512 kb/s line, people go better with a LTE or stoff like this. You got only 100 GB / month but better than slow internet

@RMerlin you really have to have a strange expensive plan. I have 100 GB for internet and got around 100 PLN = 25 Euro

Anyway I got you and I know why you can not fix this and I don't expect you to fix it

dont we just love this modem

loaded by Putty:

echo -e "AT^NDISDUP=1,1,\"internet.telenor.se\"\r" ＞ /dev/ttyUSB1

udhcpc -i usb0 -p /var/run/udhcpc1.pid -s /tmp/udhcpc

the modem loads drivers for highspeed dvs 150mb mode

from routers 68u logg:

Jan 1 01:01:38 kernel: cdc_ncm: usb0: 150 mbit/s downlink 150 mbit/s uplink
Jan 1 01:01:38 kernel: cdc_ncm: usb0: network connection: connected

you see a small workaround and it working for now Happy you have a internet again Anyway fast you got the LTE.... what the speedtest tells ? the modem is fast. And I love it.... and some more days and I will get also the LTE from T-Mobile..... And when its the same fast like HSDPA+DC than I`m happy

 

[jonny]

well I have a small 4G lite of 32mb/DL but biggest different so far is that after loading the highspeed driver my UL increase from about 12MB/UL to 20/UL on 900mhz band.

need to get to 2600mhz for higher speed but not possible for the moment

so for most of the time I am now on about 18/DL & 20mb UL .

I know mr @Plun has a lot better with the new load of driver

 

[Speedy1205]

sounds very good and is not bad I`m close but I have still HSDPA but anyway I see the differences in download as it is now faster So waiting for the LTE 1800 lunch here as all the other provider got it
