Has anyone had any success getting this 3G USB modem working with routeros?
I am currently using it on a remote site with a netcomm device which loses the connection every so often requiring a site visit.
AFAIK the only routerboard with USB is the 433UAH. If I get my hands on a 433UAH and a MF636 and can generate a support.rif file is it likely that routeros could support it in the next release if it doesn’t work already?
if it is not recognized make the support output file and send to support@mikrotik.com
Also maybe remote access to that router would be required for adding the support.
We for 1 week gave access to the device with modem MF636/637, results has not put!
The support department has answered us the following:

Hello Oleg,
Thank you for the remote access.
We have looked into the board. There is the problem with the
particular device. As ZTE 636 has at least 3 modes, how you can get it to work as modem.
We have tried to switch it to different modes, but it did not help.
Currently we do not have fix for such device, that’s why we recommend
to use another 3G card for this project, which is working 100 %.
Then
Hello Oleg,
At this point it is not possible, perhaps it will be possible in the> future.
Is there any option to use another wireless card?
Now as does not work (works only after reboot more truly) Huawei E180, distances remote access, we hope that though he will earn.
I manage to connect with Mikrotik 411U with 4.90 router OS and ZTE MF636 Usb 3G Stick from Greece Cosmote.
Here is my settings.
name=“ZTE-MF636v2&v1” max-mtu=1500 max-mru=1500 mrru=disabled port=usb4
data-channel=2 info-channel=1 pin=“” user=“” password=“”
profile=default phone=“” dial-command=“ATDT” modem-init=“”
null-modem=no dial-on-demand=no add-default-route=no use-peer-dns=yes
allow=pap,chap,mschap1,mschap2
I tested it with 2 ZTE MF636 sticks one with the newest and one with the older firmware and it work perfect with both. Every stick was detected at port usb4 and usb5 and i had to use usb4 (the first one) at my ppp-client settings to connect.
I Also tested another stick ZTE MF662 and i manage to connect with the following settings
name=“zte-MF662” max-mtu=1500 max-mru=1500 mrru=disabled port=usb6
data-channel=1 info-channel=3 apn=“internet” pin=“” user=“”
password=“”
profile=default phone=“” dial-command=“ATDT” modem-init=“”
null-modem=no
dial-on-demand=no add-default-route=no use-peer-dns=yes
allow=pap,chap,mschap1,mschap2
My stick was detected at port usb6 and usb7 and i had to use usb6 (the first one) at my ppp-client settings to connect.
