Multiple USB Modems of the same Model on SmoothWAN

[chansearrington]

Hey guys,

Hoping you can help me figure this one out. I’m sure it’s something simple and I’m just not using the right search terms when searching online.

I currently have SmoothWAN 0.99.9 HF5 running on my Gl-iNet AX1800 (aka Flint)

For modems, I have 3x USB Sleds with RM520N-GL Modems plugged into the flint via USB cables.

I’ve got “Unique USB network interface naming” disable (unchecked) Speedify > Options

And I’ve created 3x new Interfaces as “Modem Manager”, set the unique Gateway metrics for all three and add them to the WAN firewall.

The problem is that I can’t tell which modem is which in the Modem Manager config in Luci?

They all show as the exact same (see screenshot below) so I don’t know which one is which and can’t get the setup working.

RM520N-GL

Would QMI work instead of ModemManager?

chansearrington did you get things squared away? You can kinda hack at it and inspect the browser dropdown to figure out the underlying device /sys.... I think OR just go in and use a combination of mmcli -L and mmcli -m x to interrogate the modems and their device paths then edit the interfaces in /etc/config/network

Is exposing the device path in that menu enough for next release?
