= Testing the new dongle =
The first check to be made is whether the TG582n successfully sees the dongle. Plug the dongle in, wait a minute or so, and then issue the command
:mobile device list
If the output ends with
No device detected
then the dongle hasn't been recognised. What to look for is the output ending with something like
Detected device: ZTE_MF627
# interfaces : 4
AT interface : 1
Data interface: 3
If the 'AT interface' or 'Data interface' lines report 'invalid' rather than a number, then the config is wrong - it's worth trying again with
different numbers.
Once the dongle is recognised, the next step is to configure the 3G service ([[Router_-_TG582N_-_3G|3G]]) and then see if mobile broadband
works. On the web interface 'Broadband Connection' should show the mobile broadband connection, and 'View More' should show operator
and signal strength info - if the signal strength info is missing, the 'AT interface' might be wrongly configured.
