Huawei E8372 not appearing as LTE interface

RouterOS General
1

I have a CRS125 with RouterOS 6.34.3 and Firmware 3.24. I purchased a Huawei E8372 as it is on the list of supported devices. When connected, it appears as a USB device, but no LTE interface or Port appears.

/system resource usb print
 # DEVICE VENDOR                   NAME                  SPEED
 0 1:1    Linux 3.3.5 ehci_hcd     RB400 EHCI            480 Mbps
 1 1:3    HUAWEI_MOBILE            HUAWEI_MOBILE         480 Mbps

This device is not broken, as it has a valid 4G Internet connection if I plug it into my Windows 10 PC.

I have sent a supout file to MikroTik support, but if anyone has any advice it would be appreciated. The device appears with Vendor ID 0x12d1 and Device ID 0x1f01.

I can confirm this problem was resolved by - wait for it - turning my router off and on again.

Reboots didn’t help.
Software upgrades to Release Candidate didn’t help.

Turning the router off by pulling the power cord was the solution.

ur firmware is Hilink or no-hilink?

4

I don’t know what “hilink” is.

5

In hilink mode LTE modem working as virtual network card.
In no-hilink mode LTE modem working as a simple modem.

6

Sometimes driver loading hangs and you need to power cycle but yes this modem Huawei E8372 is supported in hilink mode .

7

both hilink mode and non hilink are supported by mikrotik i test it :wink: just use usb poweredhub

8

is there a way to flash hi link version Huawei E8372 to to plain tty modem. I got it to work in hilink but i have double NAT that way.
Thx
