The option for connecting to a Huawei modem does not appear in Network Preferences. I have installed the driver, which asks to connect to the net, but when attempting to connect, it says connection terminated. How to get the Huawei modem E353 option to appear in Network preferences of Mac OS Sierra 10.12.5
MacBook Air, macOS Sierra (10.12.5)
The dongle driver is installed on the system. But the network preferences has only 3 options - wireless, thunderbolt, and Bluetooth. The option for connecting to a cellular/dongle network is not appearing. Does this mean that the driver is not installed properly?
Other discussion forums mention that connecting dongle through a USB 2 port will help, since there seems to be a communication issue between the USB 3 and the dongle. Will have to try this as well.
When you plug the dongle in do you get an icon for MobileMe appear on the Desktop, if so double- click on that to start the install process. It only takes a few seconds, now check System Preferences> Network to see if the dongle is recognised and now connected.
last time I used an usb 3g network dongle I was required to install a program from the manufacture and use that to sign on and off I would check Huawei site
