Huawei EC315 modem from Intertelecom + Antenna 24 dB. Which Wi-Fi router is suitable?

Hello!

I have a solution in the form of Huawei EC315 + 24 dB Antenna at my summer house. I need a Wi-Fi router to create a home L2 Ethernet network (both Wi-Fi and wired LAN ports will be used). I.e. USB connector for 3G modem. Right now the modem is powered by a 5 V, 1 A USB adapter. Adapter to 24 dB external antenna by Pig tail. Works fine up to 6 Mbps. On the Internet did not see a description of integration solution for my request. The only thing I found was a table of compatibility with Huawei EC315 with TP Link 3220: https://www.tp-link.com/in/support/3g-comp-list.html?model=TL-MR3220.

Can you tell me if there is a proven solution? I.e. I will also need a USB socket with constant current for the modem in the router that will fit the EC315.

Thanks!

Regards, Andrei.

Hello. In principle, in your case there is nothing complicated. But I don’t understand why you now power the modem from a USB adapter and how it is realized, and what is the “Pig tail” adapter? I’ve set up such schemes many times myself, but I’ve never encountered such a thing.

I think you just need a router, the same TP-Link TL-MR3220, which should work with Huawei EC315 modem (but I haven’t checked it). This router has good compatibility. Many modems work with it. I had such a router, and I wrote about it: how to connect 3G/4G USB modem to TP-LINK wi-fi router. Using the TP-LINK TL-MR3220 setup as an example.

Huawei EC315 plug into the USB port TP-Link TL-MR3220, antenna to the modem, set the settings on the router and everything is ready. Internet via Wi-Fi and LAN. Plus local network through the router.

By the way, 24 dB antenna I also configured. I wrote about it in the article installation of a powerful CDMA antenna 24 dB with a proximity adapter.
