You can check these lists to see if the dongle you are using is included, if not, you may need to contact asus support to request a compatible dongle you have.

Hmmmm,
List are not actualised since many years.
I reported problem to the support, but was ignored. On the else models 4G stick works correctly for example: RT-AC59V2, RT-AC58V3.

That's not a reason to make it work, they use different CPUs, there may be architectural differences, and the firmware you're using may not include a driver for that dongle, you can ask Asus to add support for the dongle you have support, unless you compile the source code yourself to add the required drivers.

I checked different models LTE.
None of them not work correctly (Huawei, ZTE). Even when is show in USB port (Is recognised).
Not work DHCP, there is announced: "There is problem, Your DHCP not work correctly".

Hi, I have the same router and the same problem. RT-AX53U. Its 12v so its ideal for use in our RV.

Our dongle is a 4G Huawei E8372. Works great on our other Asus routers, but not on this one. It will not mount and show up in the network map. Sad cause Asus makes good routers.

BUT it did work for a moment. It connected and I could surf the net.!

I disconnected the dongle and tried again, but no luck. I have been trying to replicate that connection ever since.

If it is the same for other dongles on this Asus router, I hope Asus can correct it in an update. The Huawei E8372 worked great when it was connected so compatibility is there.

It just won’t mount
