Huawei e5377s-32 no 3G

    I just bought an unlocked e5377s-32, which works really well on 4G, but does not see 3G at all, either when 4G is unavailable or when I manually tell it to select 3G only.

    Is there a setting that I can change?

    Thx

    It might be the case that there's no 3G coverage in your area and only 4G what network are you with?

    Thanks for the reply. I get 3g coverage with an iPhone in the same location and I've tried 2 different networks. I can't figure it out...

    That's really strange alright never seen that happen before have you done a manual search for networks on the modem to see what shows up ?

    Did you get this from the USA by any chance?

    Oh ok I was thinking that it maybe didn't have the 3G frequencies that Ireland uses but it should :O

    Editorsean reported some weird issues where to go from 4G to 3G on one device he'd have to place the sim in a phone first. Shouldnt happen, but worth checking his posts.
