HuaweiE3372H - 153

can'tt get either of them to work in the ASUS DSL-AC56U, both work and connect with openVPN in windows, what settings must be applied to make this possible please so the router connects? i plug in and nothing happens.

need to do it in router to connect a VPN and have wired connections.

relevance is i need to use that asus router with a dongle, in another country, to connect to a VPN at router level to allow Ethernet plugged in devices (VOIP phone and laptop) to connect to the VPN, I have VPNServer setup at home, VPNclient ready to connect on that asus router, and it says 3g/4g dongle support on the router, but its not connecting to either of those 2 mentioned ones.

Still not reply from ASUS support, thanks for trying to help, any ideas?

ok ill do that and pray it works, this has been a 2 week emotional journey of suffering to get to this point lol

do you believe what im trying to do should work? so if the router connects to a VPNclient, all wired devices will show that VPN IP?

those are all old jurrasic era 3G dongles, all the ones on supported list are terrible, surely brand new models with 4G would be supported you'd think?

yeah ill have to get a supported dongle, even though none of them are 4G and it advertises supports 3G and 4G on the box lol, ASUS are the bain of my life.
