In this part i want to share my experience to install Mikrotik OS on USB This all begin when i build mini x86 PC for traffic management in my Coffee wireless Hot Spot in my town Banyuwangi. I decided to use Mikrotik Router OS for the system because it simple but have lot of feature for wireless traffic management. Click Install macOS and choose to install it from the selected USB drive. Click on “Install macOS” How do I regularly install macOS Big Sur? The regular install is done via upgrading your current macOS. That is, you don’t erase your entire disk. When the new macOS Big Sur is officially released, you just open the App Store Updates. To install the RouterOS on the USB you can use CD-Install or Netinstall from the latest versions of the RouterOS (starting form v3.0rc5). Also it is possible to attach that USB drive to a Windows computer and copy the RouterOS installation files using Netinstall to the USB drive and when booting this USB drive it would install the RouterOS on it.

1 Problem
Problem: The Huawei LTE Modem E3372h is a dual mode modem and needs to be switched into the hilink mode.
This is particularly important when used with a Mikrotik RB951 Wifi router.
2 Fix1 recommendet by Mikrotik Support
3 Fix 2, found elsewhere
Motivation:
- Mikrotik support sold me that Hilink mode sticks will be supported in RouterOS version 7. Given that all sorts of forum authors have asked Mikrotik for the General Availability ov v7 and nobody was able to tell, I decided to wait no longer.
Since an easy mode switch only seems to work with devices in stick mode, and as I had a more recent device with a more recent firmware, I needed to take a more complicated way. But no, it is not complicated. See by yourself:
I followed the instructions given here:
3.1 Preparations
This guide assumes you have Linux and a compiler installed and you know how to use GIT. So:
Go into these directories and enter 'make'. If you have a decent GCC compiler , 'make' will produce according binaries.
Take a browser and visit the page https://www.lteforum.at/mobilfunk/firmware-versionen-hi-non-hilink-e3372h-inkl-mod.2691/
Then download the file linked behind E3372h-153 21.180.01.00.00 general (a 7z archive), unpack it with
It will give you a file called E3372h-153_UPDATE_21.180.01.00.00.BIN
3.2 Open the case
The stick can be opened using a TX5HF screwdriver. You just need to unscrew both screws near the USB plug.
Use a flat screwdriver to carefully remove the rest of the case.
3.3 Set the stick into an init mode
Use a crocodile clamp or something else and connect the plug's ground to the first of the round contact pads. This will shorten your stick and set it into a boot mode.
The Russian guy explains how to do that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RsFQH-lAQg&feature=youtu.be
You will now have a serial device at /dev/ttyUSB0
3.4 balong-usbdload
Now flash the first part. I guess, it erases the stick.
I don't spear Russian, but this looks like success.
Your Stick will now create three serial interfaces:
- /dev/ttyUSB0
- /dev/ttyUSB1
- /dev/ttyUSB2
3.5 balongflash
Now flash the new firmware to the stick. Try with all three devices. I was successful with /dev/ttyUSB2 (the last I tried):
no luck
no luck
I guess pretty much that this means success./webfig/#IP:Addresses
When I plug the stick into my Mikrotik router, it will create a ppp-out1 interface and it simply connects. So this operation was successful.
