use Huawei E3372 LTE Stick as Internet Access with TP-WR902AC
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
hello,
I have a huawei LTE stick (Type E3372h-320 with Vodafone DE SIM Card) that I would like to use with the TP-Link WR902AC.
But on the compatibility page are only three sticks for outside germany listed.
the HUAWEI stick is unfortunately not recognized by the router. Is there anything I can do?
On the Windows 10 PC, I have set up the stick so that it now automatically establishes an Internet connection - there, a new Ethernet card is automatically created, through which the connection is established (192.168.8.1) and I am displayed the configuration interface. Properly configure (eg tethering) I can not do anything there.
Thank you

After I knew that I had to set the router to Share ETH, it worked exactly as it should.
I looked at the quick start guide - it doesn't mention this procedure to connect a 3G/4G USB-Stick.
I suggest that this be included in the instructions, as this is the only reason I bought the Router.

@Kevin_Z i downloaded the firmware, installed it and then restored the WR902AC to factory default.
Firmware version: 0.9.1 0.4 v0089.0 Build 210316 Rel.69921n(4555)(Beta)
Hardware version: TL-WR902AC v3 00000001
I have saved the log message:

1970-01-01 01:00:43 [6] 3G: 956: This is one LTE modem which has no tty interface!
In any case, the situation has not changed. I cannot find a way to use the LTE Stick as Internet access. The LED of the LTE stick turns "cyan" after a short time, indicating a connection to Vodafone's LTE network.
If I can provide any more information, let me know. (e.g. HUAWEI E3372h-320 HiLink V11.0.1.1(H697SP4C983) Web UI version WEBUI 11.0.1.1(W13SP4C7110))
By the way, I have given a new password at the 1st login after the factory reset after the firmware update - via the TP-Link Tether App on my android phone this is not accepted. I suspect this is due to the beta firmware?

Thank you very much for getting back with the detailed information.
Can you please email the whole system log on the WR902AC after making all the configurations when setting up the E3372h-320?
To assist and figure it out efficiently, I would like to forward your case to the TP-Link support engineers who will contact you with your registered email address later.

@Kevin_Z i have reset the router again to factory settings and changed the logging to DEBUG. Then I rebooted the router (power off/on) and read out the logfile - more information was not output to the log.txt.
