I have also been struggling with this issue. Same RT-N56U firmware, same USB 
modem. With newest ASUS firmware the connection is successful, but with custom 
firmware the USB modem seems to find network, but it does not actually connect 
(according to led lights).

Just to update, I managed to resolve my problem by adding the specific file for 
my device product ID which is not included in the firmware build and rebuild 
"my own" version of the firmware based on the source code provided.

Unfortunately, my router with the latest, original ASUS firmware does not
work, as was the custom.
With both seems to find network, but it does not actually connect.
Did you use some special settings?

I did not use any special settings. Set the USB modem to Auto, and then just 
enter details you get from your ISP. And you could also try turning off SIM 
card PIN auth.

Hi,

I'm not sure, I'm able to rebuild source code, but can you tell me what is
that "specific file", what does it contain and where did you add it (what
folder?).
Or is it possible to add "your own" binaries somewhere in net.

Regards LS

Is usb_modeswitch performed after first device init?

After insert modem to USB port, зlease get:

1) syslog
2) output command cat /proc/bus/usb/devices

Modem Type must be set as "NDIS: LTE and other"

Hi,

As per my post on #1, my product ID for my E3276s-150 is 157c instead of the 
one you had a modswitch rule created for, thus, when the modem is inserted into 
the router it attempted to run modswitch but no rules found ("usb_modeswitch: 
no rule for device 12d1:157c"), so it don't connects.

What i've done is to create a file named as "12d1:157c" in the modswitch 
directory in the firmware with the content same as "12d1:14fe", and have the 
firmware recompiled and loaded into the router.

And the modem now works with NDIS on the router and successfully had it 
modswitched to "12d1:1506".

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

OK. I will add the new rule to git.

NOTE: You can create any usb_modeswitch rule w/o rebuild firmware. Simple copy 
new file, e.g. 12d1:157c to /etc/storage. "rc" logic check rules in 
/etc/storage first.

So basically on 3.4.3.6-069, login to router via ssh and:
cp /etc_ro/usb_modeswitch.d/12d1:156a /etc/storage/12d1:157c

Reinsert dongle and problem solved. This survives router reboots but obviously 
not firmware updates.

I come to notice an issue, not sure if it's a bug.

There are times that I noticed that the connection is already disconnected but 
there don't seemed to be reconnecting.

Please advise. Thanks

Unfortunately my modem doesn't work. I get ver. ...071 and it is the same
problem.

Hi,

I have another version:

Could you add it?

Best regards

Hi #17,

12d1:1506 is correct, and from your log, I see that your huawei modem is 
recognized as a modem already.

If it doesn't connect, I supposed it's other issue causing it.

Hi, i have exactly the same problem that #17 with E3276. ERROR:NDISDUP ERROR! 
Modem flashes green twice with 2sec delay so its on, but not looking for 
network. It worked before i hotplugged modem once. Tried to flash firmware to 
n56 again many times, and tried factory defaults, nothing seems to help. Any 
ideas? 
Firmware im using is newest 072.

has compability problem with router.
