1.5.2 - 3g weak signal dropout

[ispyisail]

3g goes down and I get this on a manual restart

Code: Select all

root@Gargoyle:~# ifup wan
comgt 15:04:06 -> -- Error Report --
comgt 15:04:06 -> ---->                 ^
comgt 15:04:06 -> Error @117, line 9, Could not write to COM device. (1)

What 3G dongle are you using?

ZTE MF636

update

I have now swapped from my TP-Link TL-WR1043ND v1-1.8 to my ubnt RS pro and haven't had a drop out in 24 hours.

my next move is to install SWAP on my tp-link to see if that makes a difference?

i see there is a new patch in the repository, might try that first

ZTE MF636

From what I can see on the internet... it it looks like the device is not supported on Linux.

But there are some people who have also been working on it.

Personally I would try to go for a Huawei device instead, if you do not get your ZTE to work.
