Title: 3G USB Modem, does 685 support it?
Post by: SirMacke on August 01, 2012, 11:36:58 PM
So, a friend wants a 3G-connection instead of DSL.

Problem is he wants a USB-printer connected to the router as well, 7 PC:s printing..
So, router with 3G support = 2 USB ports so I thought why not DIR-685
I will not use a HDD in the router.

Q:
Does the 685 support all kinds of 3G-modems, or only the DWM-152 / DWM-156 as described on some sites?

Is there som other router that both supports Printer via USB and 3G-modem?

According to the web site, footnote 6 at the bottom, only the 2 adapters are supported.

I've got a Huawei E172 and it works perfectly fine on firmware 2.02WW

Tried the following that did NOT work:
Vodafone K5006-Z (LTE)
Huawei E303


I will update with other models as soon as I get more tested

How did you configure the Huawei E303 modem to work? I'd like to test Huawei K3765.
