    Hi, I have a problem because I bought Huawei E3372h modems HiLink .
    Now in Mikrotik settings I do not use PPP because it does not see the USB input. Instead, he sees the modem as LTE.
    I can't set APN in LTE settings.
    .
    I have to do this because I have a fixed public IP address.
    I need to enter APN: m2m.plusgsm.pl
    User: plusgsm
    Password: plusgsm

    Without it, I can't get to the router using a VPN tunnel. I will add that on standard settings the internet works but I would like to get to the router using a VPN, and without a fixed public IP I can't do it.

    Why can't I set the APN in the LTE tab?

    If you have them as HiLink then the modem is a "router" and you connect to it, set APN and redirect ports. Set everything as standard on http://192.168.8.1/
    In the mikrotiku WAN connection as DHCP.

    MT sees 3372 hilink as an internal IP router, i.e. MT talks with 3372 as if from the outside of an IP router.

    APN is your modem settings, and your 3372 is not a modem, but a device with an IP address.

    To set the forward port enter configuration 3372 via IP address 3372.

    When you connect 3372 directly to your computer, what is the default gateway in your computer? this address is configuration address 3372.

    Thank you all for the answers.
    I have purchased public permanent IP in PLus.
    That's also how I set up the HiLink modem and I actually get these public IPs.
    Its configuration IP is 192.168.8.1. I don't see the option to redirect ports on the modem. :(
    After connecting to the mikrotik is working internet. It configures itself well.

    I create a VPN server on mikrotiku. Unfortunately, I can't get to the mikrotik from the outside. In my opinion, the HiLink Modem blocks outside access.

    It seems that the only option is to convert HiLink to a regular modem. Unfortunately, no soft I want to upload to the modem (I have 6)
    I have bought 3 regular modems for now, because I don't have enough strength for HiLinks. I can't convert them.

    I don't know this modem, but to get what I write, you need to do one of three things in the modem:
    1. Unlock advanced routing options.
    2. Turn off Hlink
    3. Change the firmware

    I bought regular modems with firmware no Hilink but the Mikrotik Router only shows the status: "Link established"
    And it should be written: "Connected"
    WHAT is wrong with these modems?

    It shows "no route to host". This is a NIE Hilink modem. So plain.
    You can see it by PPP but it doesn't connect. :(

    It is working properly when connected to the computer. I install software on a PC and connect to the internet.
    I have another old modem identical and this one works with Mikrotik. It connects normally.
    Mikrotika Support only advised RouterOS upgrade. :(

    By the way, you didn't try to upload a working firmware to a broken one?

    I did change the firmware to E3372h-153_Update_21.200.07.00.209_M_02
    according to this guide: http://www.bez-kabli.pl/viewtopic.php?t=45272
    It looks like the internet is now working.

    I can't find this working clothes to download.
    I have another for it. Mods.

    I was already depressed because I bought 10 such modems for PLN 1,300.
    I hope that in the next ones I will be able to change the firmware so easily.

    and how did you do? I fight it too, until I got here ;) In the Hilink version everything works, but there is no port forwarding, and the modem bought in the version without hilink, does not work on MT. On wines, of course, combines

    Change FW to e.g. modulated HiLink it will be possible to set DMZ or convert it to normal (not HiLink). I don't know what to do or not to do on MT.

    Not all firmware is compatible with the mikrotkik.
    Below is my conversation with Mikrotik support. I did the tests and these versions work for me. Of course, these are usually not HiLink versions. You can flash them. I cut the casing and grounding a little to reset the whole modem, because sometimes it can scream when flashing.

    > I changed firmware from 21.180.01.00.143 - NOT work
    > To Firmware: 21.180.09.00.264 or 21.200.07.00.209_M_02 - Work Well

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around configuring a Mikrotik router with a Huawei E3372h HiLink modem. The user faces challenges in setting the APN (m2m.plusgsm.pl) due to the modem being recognized as an internal IP router rather than a standard modem. Responses suggest accessing the modem's settings via its IP address (192.168.8.1) to configure the APN and port forwarding. Users report that the HiLink version of the modem restricts external access, prompting some to consider converting it to a non-HiLink version. Firmware compatibility issues are also highlighted, with specific versions (21.180.09.00.264 and 21.200.07.00.209_M_02) noted as functional for Mikrotik integration. The conversation emphasizes the need for proper modem configuration to enable VPN access and public IP functionality.
