[MrWolf]

Hi,

I am using latest beta on my DIR-868L (built 24461) and the DWM-157 HW:B1 as USB modem. The DIR-868L seems to detect the DWA-157, but I can't connect to Internet. I have discarded configuration problem or SIM fault, because I could make it work with other USB modems.

These are the results of cat /proc/bus/usb/devices command, in case it might help to fix the problem.

This is a new dongle firmware revision which I've not seen before.

login to the router via telnet and issue the cmd:

usb_modeswitch -v 2001 -p a707 -I -M 5553424312345678000000000000061e000000000000000000000000000000 -2 5553424312345679000000000000061b000000020000000000000000000000

then give me a new output from cat /proc/bus/usb/devices

[MrWolf]

Here are the results of the commands,

That doesn't look very good.
Did you take out the dongle before doing the cat cmd of devices after you had run usb_modeswitch?

Your cat of devices shows a host controller on bus 01 and it is device #1 on this bus.
usb_modeswitch finds your dongle on bus 01, device #2 and does a successful modeswitch ("Device is gone....)
Device #2 will therefore disappear from the bus and when the dongle has switched mode and reappears on the bus it should get next unused device number, it should come back as device #3.

Your cat of devices shows it as device #4 which indicates one of following two possibilities:

You replugged the dongle before doing the cat of devices
or
the usb voltage dropped right after the dongle switched mode. The voltage drop caused the dongle to reset.

If it is a matter of not enough power on the usb bus then you can try with a separately powered usb hub.


Another way of switching the dongle from install mode into usable mode is to enable usb storage in the dd-wrt gui tab for USB.
You will then see in dmesg a read-only (cd-rom) device being created, most likely sr1.
You can eject this virtual cd-rom with the cmd:
eject /dev/sr1

which actually is what usb_modeswitch does with its two cmd strings.

[MrWolf]

No, I did not unplug the dongle before doing the cat command and after running usb_modeswitch.

I use a USB hub and tried same procedure again, but same result.

And after that, I enabled also the USB Storage, but the result of eject/dev/sr1, is that there is nothing to eject, because there is no device.

Any other idea? Thanks for your help.

Regards.

[LOM]

Well lets try some different switch cmds, not that I think it will make any difference since you had a successful switch with the current cmd.

usb_modeswitch -v 2001 -p a707 -V 2001 -P 7d02 -I -W -n -M 5553424312345678000000000000061e000000000000000000000000000000 -2 5553424312345679000000000000061b000000020000000000000000000000

this adds more verbosity (-W), a wait for response before sending 2nd cmd string (-n), and the expected id after switching (-V -P).

If that doesn't work then try:

usb_modeswitch -v 2001 -p a707 -V 2001 -P 7d02 -I -W -M
5553424312345679000000000000061b000000020000000000000000000000

keep track of the dongles device# on the bus before and after switching, it should only increment by 1.
Set your WAN type to anything but not Mobile Broadband when you run these manual cmds. We want to make sure that dd-wrt doesn't try to handle the device whih could conflict with your manual cmds.

some reading of interest this is about a very similar device, the little brother of yours:
http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/bb/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1414

[MrWolf]

First thing, I set WAN type to DHCP as per your suggestion, but no matter which I try of the last usb_modesswitch commands you sent me, the USB dongle always keeps on Bus=01 position (before and after executing any of the commands),

[MrWolf]

Forget about my previous post. The device# changes anytime I execute usb_modesswitch command, but none of the commands solves the issue. I mean, I can't get online using this dongle.

[LOM]

[koroziv]

Sorry for being OT, I noticed that you have a rev B unit. What are the differences from rev A ? I see on dlink website that there is a different firmware for rev B, so something must be there.

[MrWolf]

Dunno what the differences are between A1 & B1. The fw version that it comes with B1 is 2.0.1. Just in case that might help.

Regards.

[koroziv]

Thanks for the reply. I am tempted to try the rev B fw on my
rev A, but i'm afraid i'll get myself a brick
I searched the web for any info on the rev B hardware info, no luck so far. Rev A native ipv6 is not working properly, tried all dlink firmwares i could find with no luck. I don't use ddwrt on it becouse it can't do more than 350 mbps on a pppoe gigabit connection.

[mfineng]

Hi,
I am having the same problem.
Asus RT-AC68U H/W:A1, DD-WRT v24-sp2 (04/22/14) std
(SVN revision 23940).
USB 3G adapter D-Link DWM-157 H/W:B1, F/W:2.0.1EU.
Adapter connects internet by ASUS F/W and also its latest Merlin version without any problems.
DDWRT is not able to make a connection, I also tried the latest beta, no success. Been re-setting to factory defaults between the FW changes.
I am using iPhone tethering at the moment on DDWRT as not been able to figure out how to connect this 3G adapter, that works perfectly.
Would like to know if I could do anything extra other than above mentioned checks?
