My dad’s hAP has a full size USB port, so he just plugged it in.Ĭheck in System -> Resources -> USB for the modem you just connected. Plug the USB modem into the router’s USB portĭepending on your router you may need a USB adapter cable. Which has minimal documentation on the Internet.

My dad is using a Huawei E1762 USB 3G modem. So double check it connects successfully in a more supported environment (eg: Windows laptop). If your modem doesn’t work, it will be a pain to troubleshoot on your router. Ensure your USB modem can connect to the Internet A supported USB 3G / LTE modem (see peripherals and supported hardware)Ġ.Unlike my holiday LTE setup, failover will be important: automatic will be preferred, but outages aren’t very frequent, so simple manual steps will be allowed. (And maybe help a few other people on the Internet as well)! Goalĭocument and configure my dad’s router to allow him to use a 3G / LTE USB modem as a backup Internet connection if his Optus cable connection fails. So I referred him to the article I wrote about using an Android device for 4G / LTE Internet access.Įxcept he was using a 3G USB Modem rather than an Android phone, so it didn’t quite work as nicely as I’d hoped. He runs a business from home, and extended Internet downtime is bad. I’d reviewed what he did and tweaked a few things.Īnd it’s been running quite smoothly since then.īut even the best router can’t do much when there’s no Internet to route! He had purchased a hAP, and configured it based on my Mikrotik home router article. I’d convinced my dad to replace an ageing (and occasionally faulty) router with a Mikrotik device a while back.

Have you ever set up Mikrotik with 3G modem?
