Title: DIR-655 and Nokia CS-15 3G USB dongle
Post by: turparulla on May 14, 2010, 01:30:38 PM

I just bought DIR-655. I upgraded it to latest 1.31EU firmware. I'm trying to connect Nokia CS-15 dongle in to DIR-655 USB port. Nothing happens. It wont even blink any indicator light on dongle and on dir-655 device info/status it says "cable status: disconnected". I have disabled pin code asking. Could it be that CS-15 3G dongle is not supported by DIR-655? If I connect that dongle directly to my laptop it works just fine. Is there somewhere a list of supported devices?

Hi,


I had to buy huwaei e220 to make 3g usb work. (picked one for cheap £8 - plus v.easy to unlock & free)


It is pretty stupid Dlink does not list what 3g modems it supports. You have to bear in mind this is an "old router" - i think 3years since it came out.

For each 3g modem, Dlink must add the 3g modem firmware to the router - so it just seems that it has not bothered to do so except for the very old e220. It is not surprising as they are still fixing errors in their own firmware 3 years on  :o


Probably best to call tech support and get a definitive answer - it either has the firmware / support for your 3g modem or not ?
