Can't get 48 Sim to work with my Huawei router

NIMAN

I'm just going to put this one down to experience, looks like I was conned.

I went back to the guy I bought it off, as I collected it at his house, he called me a dickhead and refused to come out and speak to me.

Lesson learned.

He sells on Done Deal and his location is Carndonagh, Co. Donegal.
His seller name is ME.

He currently has about 4 of the same routers up for sale, plus 2 laptops, so hopefully no-one else gets caught.

Any luck since, Niman?

I recently set up one of these B311 For a neighbour. There's an app you can download to the phone that lets you set up the router. I'm nearly sure there was a Factory Reset option on there. When you open it first you get to pick router make and model.

No, gave up on it.
After spending many hours on it, I just think I own a dud.

I downloaded that Huawei app and scanned, and it's not seeing the router.
But thanks anyway.

It wont as your device is not on same network as router.
LED indicators posted above - blink on tel LED might indicate that device in bootloader mode or bricked
If you noticed ,was it same LED's from day one?
As there is some button press sequence that brings device to a certain state, like :
(device not powered) WiFi and WPS buttons pressed while powering on: enter bootloader menu

Power on the Huawei Router, place a paper clip or Pin into the hole on the back of the Router labeled Reset.

Normal sequence of LED's on working B593 on a startup (2-3 sec interval):


1. Power LED (only) comes ON
2. All LED comes ON(including signal bars)and goes OFF (power remain)
3. Mode LED comes ON (red)
4. WiFi LED comes ON (providing enabled)
5. Mode LED change to blue/green + signal bars appear (providing SIM is IN and 4G/3G coverage there)
6. Mode LED blinking indicate traffic



If Tel LED flashing, router is most likely brick/looping into bootloader mode

I am not 100% convinced that the OP was ever able to establish on the same network as router nor do a full factory reset of it. From his link to Donedeal the seller has a number of these routers so they could all be configured from standard factory setup and would need to be reset as noted above.

NIMAN

The TEL light is constantly flashing, so I'm guessing bricked in some way.

Add to this the fact that the unit cannot be reset, probably means whoever it was originally being used by, they must have done something to it to make it useless for standard use.

I feel your pain with this. But maybe it was never properly unlocked. I had one the same on contract from Vodafone. There was a dispute about reception so I couldn't get unlock code from them. I couldn't get any of the phone guys able to unlock it since. Maybe they are unlock able.
