This modem is also sold as a MegaFon M150-2 USB dongle
Install the needed packages via opkg tool
opkg update
opkg install kmod-usb-net-cdc-ether
opkg install usb-modeswitch
work fine with Huawei E8372h-155 also
I also had to change the name used when requesting dhcp. It was using "root" and was giving me errors. After I changed to "a", it worked just fine.
Works like a charme, exactly as it is described here :)
Hi,
There is the option to force the 4G conection???
Regards
Depends on the firmware of the lte dongle. There are modded firmwares available where you can select the allowed bands.
Open the interface via http://192.168.8.1/ or http://192.168.4.1/
Hi
Thanks.
I'm using the original firmware with Hilink:
| Nombre del equipo: | E3372 |
|---|---|
| IMEI: | xxxx |
| IMSI: | xxxx |
| Vers. del hardware del: | CL2E3372HM |
| Vers. del software del: | 22.328.62.00.1217 |
| Versión de UI web: | 17.100.18.05.1217 |
| Dirección MAC de LAN: | BA:AB:xx:xx |
| Dirección IP WAN: | 172.xx.xx.xx |
But with this IP I can check the configuration (and i think force the 4G mode)
Regards
Also runs as described with the Huawei E5573 LTE Router. Thanks a lot.
Still works like a charm, thank you.
Since I was struggling with the last items in the list, perhaps this will help someone in the future:
connect device
to verify that the device is connected, you should see something like this when logged in to the router:
root@OpenWrt:~# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 12d1:14dc HUAWEI_MOBILE HUAWEI_MOBILE
create a new network named lte
select the eth device of the dongle ( e.g eth1)
assign the network to firewall zone wan
To achieve this with OpenWrt 21.02.1 / LuCI openwrt-21.02 combination you have to: LuCi -> Network -> Interfaces -> Add new interface... From there:
and Create interface.
After that the interface "lte" is created and you can move to "Firewall Settings" tab (NB! no need to go to Network -> Firewall menu, it's a different thing) and for "Create / Assign firewall-zone", select "wan" and hit Save.
Lastly, don't forget to hit the "Save & Apply" button at the end
yes, this works with Huawei E3531, thanks
As of 2023-09-20 this is the way.
Network should be DHCP.
Used in HiLink mode.
Huawei E3372
CL1E3372SM Ver.A
22.286.03.01.1202
I also had to change the name used when requesting dhcp. It was using "root" and was giving me errors. After I changed to "a", it worked just fine.
Can you elaborate on what you exactly changed?
I tried everything in the tutorial and according to log and device everything should be fine but I have no internet.
Still works as of today with E3372 (hardware CL2E3372HM and software 22.328.62.00.1217) with OpenWrt 23.05.2
opkg update
opkg install kmod-usb-net-huawei-cdc-ncm
opkg install usb-modeswitch
Restart router, create new interface '4G' connected to eth2 (in my case) and assign to zone WAN at tab 'Firewall settings' of interface.
Stick is running in Hilink mode (hands out a 192.168.8.x address to client, stick webinterface at 192.168.81).
No pin configured on SIM.
If you need lsusb (which is not installed by default): opkg install usbutils
Also confirm this is working!

Hello, I have a Huawei E3372H-510 modem on the T-Mobile network using a tablet/hotspot plan. When I plug the USB modem into my windows 10 PC directly and run speedtest.net I get 22-25 mbps and sometimes I can get 30mbps. Now if I connect the modem to the router, run the same speedtest.net (meaning same server as before) I only get 10 mbps-15mbps. Does the usb port on the AR150 router maybe not have full power for higher speeds? Maybe there is some software running on the router that is slowing down the traffic? This doesnt make sense. Btw both the router and the windows 10 pc have there TTL set to 65 so its not a network throttle issue. Some how the router is about 5-10 mbps slower then direct connection.
