Remarks

  • The Fonera 2.0 only supports Usb 2.0 HIGH speed (480Mbit/s); most 3G modems are Usb 2.0 FULL speed (11mBit). Please connect a Usb Hub (4port) to your Fonera 2.0; this will also allow you to connect more than 1 usb device
  • Try to reboot the fonera 2 with the 3G stick plugged in
  • Did you configure your 3G provider/username/password/apn correctly?
  • The USB Led only goes on when a Storage Device is connected

debug

  • acquire SSH access; this only works in "developer mode" -> check applications to activate developer mode -> the background turns GREEN.
  • Perform a reboot ; wait untill the power led returns to green : SSH key is generated
  • Perform a reboot once more : SSH server will now be running with these ssh keys.
  • acquire a SSH client (eg : Putty)
  • connect with this client via MyPlace or LAN of the Fonera 2.0 (ssh : 192.168.10.1)
  • user : root
  • password : <whatever you chose>
  • logread
    • this should show if it detected something plugged in
  • cat /proc/bus/usb/devices
    • This shows what it found connected on the usb bus
