Router - TG582N - Adding support for a 3G dongle: Difference between revisions

Try copying some data from a supported dongle

Armed with the USB ID(s) it's time to hope that someone else has already found the remaining data. Let's go searching.
 
== Luck ==
As an aside, weWe've just been lucky with the ZTE MF112 - its 'storage ID' of 19d2:0103 isn't in the list of supported dongles, but with mode switching disabled the 'modem ID' of 19d2:0016 '''is''' in that list (appearing as the ZTE_MF110). Plugging the ZTE MF112 in, having first disabled mode switching, results in
:mobile device list

== Copying from a similar entry ==
It may be the case that a new dongle has similar USB ID(s) to a supported dongle from the same manufacturer. If so it would be worthwhile
trying most of the data from the supported dongle, but with the new USB ID(s). For example, the supported ZTE dongles all use the same
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.
