4G USB MODEM HUAWEI K5161h

[redstamp101]

Great development btw - and really looking forward to getting it working!!

Anyone used these modems and got them to work?

• Using Rasberry Pi 4B with 2x 4G USB dongles.
• Attached into Pi USB slots directly.
• Modems (branded Vodafone) on two different networks (UK EE and UK O2) and work fine for data connectivity when plugged into laptop (and can ping internet and my VPS).
• No DHCP settings in the modem admin settings, so cannot disable, but set OMR WAN settings configured as described in the minimal set-up.
• Access OMR interface from laptop (XPS15-WIN10) over ethernet cable.

Any help or suggestions gratefully received.

There is multiple problems I think:

• File system is read only. You can try a e2fsck /dev/mmcblk0p2 or reinstall it on the SD card.
• If the modem are DHCP, you should set wan1 & wan2 as DHCP client.

Great - thanks for fast reply - I did wonder why it was saying read-only. Will try suggested fixes.

Worked! Both fixes were needed.
