Help please.

I didn't have much hair a week ago but since I upgraded to a Huawei 4G usb stick I think I've torn out most of there was.

My home network is centered on a TP-Link TL-MR3420 3G/4G wireless router. Connected to this by ethernet cable are a Seagate Personal cloud HDD, a TP-Link fast ethernet print server and an RTX Skype phone base station. Connected through the USB port was a 3G modem which I replaced with the E8372 4G stick.

I now no longer have a integrated network. The E8372 creates it's own hot-spot which works fine by it's self but I cannot use the hard disk or printer. I have to disconnect from the wi-fi and connect to the router. I have tried making the router bridge to the E8372 wifi but I can't make that work.

I have also read a number of post on the internet that describe methods to disable Hilink and turn the modem into a dialup modem but these techniques that worked on other (older) Huawei modems don't seem to work on the E8372 I cannot get the first step to work successfully and present me with a couple of serial interfaces.
