The Huawei B593 LTE discussion thread

Ok, so let me.bump this. I have a B593 (multiple ones actually), that I want to forward all traffic from. I set up DMZ, but DMZ doesn't seem to forward traffic. Has anyone gotten DMZ to work on a B593?

For sure, yes.
See this post and the ones that follow for a few examples from people who've done (and still do) it.
That example refers to a 2-tier scheme, where one of the LAN ports on a B593 (which is at 192.168.2.1, in that example) is connected to the WAN port on a downstream router (which is at 192.168.2.2). In that scheme, the B593 is effectively used as an LTE modem, with the downstream router doing most of the routing.

Edit :While I'm at it, here's a sketch I once did of how that 2-tier scheme is arranged, either with or without DMZ enabled :

When not using DMZ with a scheme like that, you have to have 2 "levels" of port-forwarding : one at the B593, and another at the downstream router. This is a bit of a hassle, but do-able.
With DMZ enabled, it becomes somewhat simpler : putting the downstream router in the DMZ (192.168.2.2, in that same example) means that traffic arriving on the WAN side of the B593 will be forwarded to the designated DMZ host irrespective of source or destination port. That means only one level of port-forwarding (at the downstream router) to deal with.
Note that even with DMZ enabled, other (non-DMZ) devices connected the B593's LAN ports will still be under firewall protection, and inbound traffic to them will still be handled according to the B593's port-forwarding rules.

Hi

Looking for some help, I was trying to setup this router for a friend and I don't seem to be able to resolve the issue. Basically it always gives the error "Call in progress; cannot configure the router. Please try again after the call". I have reset the thing, tried with sim in, sim out, nothing seems to work and all the people discussing this error seem to be in foreign languages.

Any option on the admin panel just results in that error (including trying to upload firmware). With a sim in it does not find new firmware to install over HTTP.

Any ideas of what I can try?

Did you find a solution to this perhaps? I have a B593s-601 and its doing the exact same thing.
 
Hi.

ISP: Telkom

For some reason the quality/signal strength fluctuates between one bar and three bars. I have just checked into my router settings and noticed that the network mode on my router is 4G and not LTE. (I have attached a screenshot.) Does this mean I don't have LTE nearby or that my sim is not LTE? It is showing blue on my router.

I have just done a speed test. I have never had it that the upload speed is faster than the download speed. 1.06Mb download. This is with THREE bars signal strength.

The fluctuation of the signal strength is VERY annoying. I have considered buying a stronger/external antenna but don't know which one.

I will appreciate your comments/advice.

Thank you.

Tested this, didn't work for me. Tried DMZ, no data went to my Mikrotik. Decided to try individual ports, the same issue arises. Then I tried enabling the service ports, and that worked perfectly fine. I suspect this Modem isn't the best option for incoming connections.
 
Hi Guys

I have a B593, and i would like to extend my Wifi to more areas of the house. Wifi in the rest of the place is pretty bad, so looking for some extender or booster i can add on. Is there anything i can buy to do that with this particular modem?

TP-LINK is a good bang for buck brand.
 
I have recently installed some analogue CCTV cameras and wanted to remotely monitor them. The DVR used is a DAHUA. I setup a DDNS link through NO-IP.com and it reaches my routers internal address 192.168.1.1 but tells met that I need to update the router. It does not go through to the DVR's IP. I have under NAT, Port mapping set the DVRs IP address on port 80 (TCP/UDP).

I have the Huawei B593s-82 router and the router address previously was 192.168.100.1 and when I perform an upgrade from firmware I found on the Internet it changed the router address to 192.168.1.1

Also the DDNS option is greyed out on the router.

Any advise on how to rectify/change the router setup so that I can remotely monitor my cameras or is this not possible with the B593s-82 router?

I am in an LTE area (LTE-A not rolled out in Brackenfell yet). Changing to the E5186 router would probably not give me additional feature that is not available on the B593s-82, which will assist in remote monitoring my cameras?

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING About DMZ Okay! i have DSL when my line use to work i left DMZ on FOR WEEKS!! and eventually a virus was implanted into my Aztech 700WR-3G that kept redirecting to A FAKE website where you see people bragging about getting money from this online trading site. i eventually turned off DMZ and Reset my Router TWICE the virus was gone. Rather use Network Address translation if the router supports it.
 
Hi All, Question I haven't seen posted.

Can I configure the B593 purely as an extender to my Telkom ADSL Billion router?

Thanks, Aidan
