MB PRO RF - Huawei E303 doesn't work properly

Post by websign »

Hi. I have a MB PRO RF (not version 2). In the past I connected my Huawei E303 3g dongle without any problems (it was recognized as a router).
In these days I did a factory reset of my MB and I am trying to use the same dongle. This is recognized as a modem, but even if I enter the data for the connection it does not work. The same dongle connected to a PC works correctly and connects to the mobile network.
Any ideas?
Thank you very much for the support

Is it working with older Meteobridge SW versions?

Hello, thank you for your reply. Would there be a way to install an older version of the MB firmware? Thanks.

Hi, I downgraded the firmware to version 3.6 but the problem is not solved. After the reboot the message "wait for modem" remains. The Huawei E303 dongle is always seen as a USB modem and not as a USB Router. At this point I fear that the dongle has some problem (even if connected directly to the PC it works regularly).
Could you kindly indicate a dongle that could work well? Or even a low-consumption 4g router that is powered by a USB? Thank you very much for the support.

When a downgrade does not do it, I don't understand how it has ever worked.
Sorry, I don't have much experience with with 4G routers/dongles, but may be other users here have.

Ok, thanks anyway. I'll try other 4g routers.

The E303 has worked fine in the past. Probably something has changed in its configuration :(

Bye bye :)
