As anybody got this working?
The modem is a Huawei K3565 (also known as E160x?).
I have also tried contract E220.

I have tried numerous APN and dial strings from Vodafone web site etc. Both modems just end up flashing green. PAYG one sometimes flashes blue - I believe this is all about negotiating a link. PAYG modem works on a PC near the router. Contract one says very poor signal.

How can I log what is going on?
Thanks

Peter

Firmware: 3.3.1.2_232201

Have not done much testing but:

Modem initial string: APN:pp.internet
Modem dial string: ATDT*99#
PPP username: web
PPP paswword: web

Blue light is on - what does this mean GPRS?

Speed test: 0.07Mb download, 0.19Mb upload

Not sure about the lights, never bothered to look it up.

All I assume from using them is that solid is good, flashing is bad

I set mine up with the draytek defaults, just changing the username and password to be internet/internet for my vodafone contract sim.

it seems to work well. only problem is I get issued a private ip from vodafone so my dynamic dns service lists my router with a private ip and I cannot access my router remotely.

this may be a dumb observation but is the stick plugged directly into the 2820 or to an extension USB cable?

I've not tried a stick on my 2820, however previous experience with a Billion router, it would not connect with the stick directly attached, but on an extension it was fine

www.thinkbroadband.com:

From PC: 761Kbps down, 313Kbps up
From router: 1007Kbps down, 325Kbps up

From PC: ?
from router: 952Kbps down, 351Kbps up

So looks as if I am doing OK now.

Yes I did think about whether with or without extension made a difference. Am using extension (have always been using an extension cable).
