Hi,

 

I have a Innbox V51 here and I'm trying to setup the 3G WAN link on it. The documentation and support for this seems to be almost non-existent.  Does anyone know any 3G/4G(?) USB modems that they know to be compatible?

 

I'm kind of expecting to have to crawl through TradeMe to find some old device that isn't manufactured anymore.

For anyone else's reference I thought I should follow up on this. I got in touch with ConnectPlay who are the NZ Innbox resellers.  Their response was:

 

"We don’t have a list of capable USB but in the past Any Huawei 3G dongle worked just fine.

These were dongles from Vodafone or Spark.

Any Huawei 3G Dongle should work ."

 

So I started grabbing Huawei Dongles as they "should work"... they didn't all work:

 

Huawei E8372 - DID NOT WORK
Huawei E303 - DID NOT WORK
Huawei E220 - WORKED!

 

Hopefully this can save someone else wasting money on devices that don't work.
