Use Ras.Pi 3 with HUAWEI E3131 USB Surf-Stick as AP

Sun Oct 16, 2016 7:44 pm

Hallo Raspberry Pi experts...


I have a Raspberry Pi 3 and an HUAWEI E3131 USB Surf-Stick.

The first thing i tried to was to use this surf-stick as internet-source on my Pi. I saw a lot of things in some forums, with making some changes in the network files but in the end i had no success. According to my research the stick is already in "modem mode", because after typing in lsusb i am getting the following:

Bus 001 Device 007 : ID 12d1 : 1506 HUAWEI Technologies Co., Ltd. E398 LTE/UMTS/GSM Modem/Networkcard.

So if anybody of you have an idea please help me or give me some tips how to get it work if possible.

It is my long term goal to use this stick in combination with the Pi as WLAN Hotspot so that i can use this internet for instance with a other wlan-able device.( internet ---> USB-Stick/Modem --> Pi ----> Using internet data of stick via WLAN ) I know there would be no great amoung of download speed but is it even possible to realize in your opinion ? ? ?


I would be very thankful for your ideas ...

Greetings from Austria :D :D
