modeswitch string, and the ZTE MF100 and MF110 entries only differ in the USB IDs. So for the MF112 it's worth trying to copy those entries but modifying the USB IDs. [ In fact, the modem USB ID for the ZTE MF112 is the same (19d2:0031) as for the already supported ZTE_MF627 - so once the TG582n detects the MF112 in storage mode and mode switches the device, then the TG582n detects the dongle as a ZTE MF627 ]. == Finding the config from the Internet == There are several external sites to consult in case someone else has already worked out the data for the new dongle: * [http://forums.modem-help.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=11342 modem-help.co.uk ] * [http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/device_reference.txt USB modeswitch "known working hardware" list ] * [http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Mobile_Broadband dd-wrt.com ] = Adding a new dongle = :mobile device delete name=Maker_model = 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.
