#HUAWEI USB DONGLE 4G INSTALL#

If it’s not already installed, usb_modeswitch can be installed using apt-get -y install usb-modeswitch.īus 001 Device 007: ID 12d1:1f01 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. It has to be switched to a USB modem device first using the usb_modeswitch command in order to establish a mobile network connection. On Ubuntu Server, like most Huawei modems, the stick is recognised as a memory card reader. After a few seconds after plugging it in, I was greeted with a “Connection Established” message. To my great surprise, setting up the Huawei E3276 on Ubuntu 15.04 Desktop was literally plug & play. However, the 920 seems to be frequency-optimized for Asian mobile networks and may not perform as well as a E3276s-150 in Western Europe. There are even cheaper Huawei E3276 models like the E3276-920 which you can buy for less than 20 bucks.

I went for the E3276s-150 because the 150 seemed to be the most compatible option for European 4G mobile networks.

I just received an unlocked Huawei E3276s-150 4G/LTE USB modem/surfstick I bought on eBay the other day.
