setting up 3g modem

RouterOS General
1

Hi All

Fairly new to networking and routeros so bear with me, does anyone have a general guide to setting up 3G on a ROS?

I have got a couple of 3g usb dongles and need to get them running as my sole connection. I have setup a ppp client on the 3g port but that is about it, I haven’t setup any dhcp client etc as the 3g is not listed as an interface when selecting one to enable dhcp on.

is there a wiki guide for 3g somewhere?

Any help much appreciated!
Thanks,
Rich

I need some help, and I will be very great full if you can assist.
I have a RB411u with a ZTE MF190 modem connected via usb, the modem does connect to the internet (See pic) as I am able to ping Yahoo.com.
But I can’t connect to the web via my pc ……

You need to start a new topic, and not hijack this one… but it looks like you probably didn’t setup NAT Masquerade. Don’t forget to setup nat-masquerade and dns if you want pc’s to connect to Internet through your router with a single public IP address!!!

jandafields actually I do exactly all of the things in manial (wiki), but I can’t get my ZTE MF190 to use 3G.
In compatibility table is written that I need to use data channel 3 (I can’t because winbox said that it’s not allowed) and info channel of 1 - this one is working.

Any idea please to fix my isue that internet is woring only on GSM compact… :frowning:

Thanks!
