Huawei | E3372 (h and s) Hilink | Various | LTE CAT 4 | 12d1:14dc | ECM | 4G: 3G UMTS: 900/2100 MHz | This is the same hardware as the above modem. However, this model has problems with some sites (~30%) due to a bug in the Broadcom driver. However, you can switch from Hilink to non-Hilink and vice versa by uploading the appropriate firmware; found here: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/ll9ieqqooyhy5/Documents#ll9ieqqooyhy5 See here for details:https://www.0xf8.org/2017/01/flashing-a-huawei-e3372h-4g-lte-stick-from-hilink-to-stick-mode/ |

Huawei | E398 | Various | 12d1:1446 | 12d1:1506 | Serial and QMI | Some versions of this have 1 antenna jack, and some have 2 jacks. In general this dongle works well, but sometimes the driver crashes because FreshTomato has problems with the qmi_wwan module. Update: it seems that using _only_ USB 1.1 driver fixes this issue in 90% of cases. | |||
