(Make it clearer that the 4G dongle needs specific configuration for IP block fallback) |

=== Inserting a SIM into a dongle ===
To insert a SIM into a Huawei 3G dongle, for example, you will need to have a large-size SIM, so do not pop out a small-size SIM from its enclosing card. You remove a SIM-carrier
=== Configuration and testing ===
==Working 3G Dongles==
Dongles do vary, and drivers may need to be written to support a particular dongle. Contact us if you have one which is not working. The following dongles are known to work on a FireBrick 2700:
*Huawei E156G (Available from AAISP, Amazon etc)
*[[Zoom USB dongle|ZOOM model 4598]] (Discontinued)
*Huawei E353 (Three branding)
==Working 4G Dongles==
*[[FireBrick 2700 with 4G ZTE MF823|ZTE 823]] (O2 branding, or direct from Amazon etc work) — this dongle appears to work "out of the box" for failover, but needs [[FireBrick 2700 with 4G ZTE MF823|specific configuration]] if you want to route your IP blocks through it. The FireBrick will get an IP address via DHCP from the dongle, eg 192.168.8.100
*Huawei E3372 - cheaper than the ZTE MF823, available from Amazon and others. In ethernet mode (its default) it works with a factory FireBrick configuration. The FireBrick will get an IP address via DHCP from the dongle, eg 192.168.0.123
==Unknown not yet working==
