So, I'm using this stick with Alpine Linux in a router configuration. The following:
- The stick is recognised as an eth device (not as a com port).
- In order for the stick to be recognised as eth, you have to switch it from mass-storage mode to eth mode, which can be done with usb_modeswitch.
- To avoid problems with the PIN under linux, just use the stick once under win/mac and select "save pin", then you don't have to enter it again.
- If the stick is configured correctly you can get an ip via dhcp, but this is a NAT ip, as far as I could see it is not possible to get the external ip directly on the virtual eth-adapter.
Maybe the PIN has to be removed in a mobile phone first!
I use the E3372 on Fritzboxes and so this stick goes perfectly (that's why I chose this one).
I also have Sunrise data cards (among others) and they also work directly in the router.
According to my research, the stick supports the following LTE frequencies:
4G (LTE) frequencies: 800/900/1800/2100/2600 MHz.
Unfortunately, these are designed for Europe, so operation in the USA would be rather limited.
The stick can handle 3G and 4G. Works with Windows, Android and Linux. I bought it because it was recommended for Android. I use it for my Android car radio/navigation so I don't have to do a hotspot with my phone.
Unfortunately no :-( I tried this myself with a SIM card from Sunrise with the intention of remotely controlling a Raspberry in a home automation network from outside. Via a "normal" wired internet connection it worked without any problems, but via the stick and the SIM card it does not work. I have not been able to find out the exact reason, but it is probably related to the SIM card.
And why does your socket need internet? ;-)
The surfstick does not have a WLAN function. It connects the Internet via USB to a PC/notebook. Therefore, it makes no sense to supply the surfstick only with power.
Yes, you need a physical SIM card. If you need the stick as a backup stick for the Swisscom Internet Box, you must use the Swisscom SIM locked version.
Hello,
I'm not sure if you can manage the configurations of the devices via usb, at least your system can manage the configurations of the devices in addition to the music and video for example.
I'm not sure how to do this:
You can connect your Huawei modem to a laptop (at a very good price here...) then you activate the connection sharing of the laptop so you can connect the wlan of your car with the identifiers of the connection sharing (visible in the settings of the connection sharing of the laptop).
You can also do this directly with the latest smartphones by activating connection sharing if you have a subscription with unlimited data as otherwise you risk getting an extra large phone bill for internet consumption depending on the size of the upgrade you need to do.
Hello, as the key is not SIM-locked, there is no reason why the French SIM should not work. However, you need to make sure that the subscription of the French SIM allows connection sharing (this is not always the case depending on the operator and the subscription)
It will be difficult to determine the firmware, because we obtain the product from different suppliers and in the case of a delivery we cannot actively control which delivery it should come from. But you are welcome to order the product and if it is not the firmware you want, you can return it free of charge. However, I can confirm that the Band 7 FDD is supported.
