Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter issues during the installation or configuration process, here are some troubleshooting tips: Go to the Huawei website ( www

• Ensure that you have downloaded the correct driver version for your Windows 10 installation (32-bit or 64-bit).
• Check that the modem is properly connected to your computer via a USB cable.
• Restart your computer and try reinstalling the driver.
• Contact your mobile network operator for assistance with APN settings.

4.2 Error: "WAN Miniport (Network Adapter) Code 31"

• Cause: The Windows generic RNDIS driver conflicts with the Huawei specific driver.
• Resolution: Registry modification is required. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\4d36e972-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318 and ensure no duplicate "0000" keys exist for the network adapter.

Problem C: The Charging Only Cable

A surprisingly common issue. If the USB cable is a "charging only" cable (often included with cheap electronics), it will not transmit data.

• The Fix: Swap the cable for a high-quality data-syncing cable (like the one included with a smartphone).

Q: Can I use the Huawei E5573 while charging via USB?

A: Yes. However, ensure you use a data-capable USB cable (not just a charging cable). Many issues arise from using faulty or charge-only cables.

Method 3: Huawei drivers from other models

You can try the Huawei E5573 generic driver or HiLink driver from Huawei’s support site (e.g., for E5577 or E5573s-856).
These often work because the chipset (Qualcomm MDM92xx series) is similar.
A known working driver: Huawei Mobile Broadband Driver (version 2.0.3.968).

4. Common problems & solutions

| Problem | Likely cause | Solution | |--------|--------------|----------| | Yellow exclamation mark in Device Manager | Windows 10 driver signature or missing RNDIS | Use manual RNDIS driver (Method 2) | | USB mode doesn’t switch from charging to modem | Windows not sending mode switch command | Use Huawei HiLink Utility or Mobile Partner software | | Device recognized but no internet | IP configuration or APN missing | Open web UI (192.168.8.1) → set APN manually | | Driver installs but then disconnects after sleep | Power management | Disable USB selective suspend in Power Options |

Error 2: Device shows as "CDC Abstract Control Model (ACM)"

Cause: Your E5573 is in serial/COM port mode, not NDIS (network) mode. Solution: Log into the hotspot’s web interface (192.168.8.1 with username admin, password admin). Go to Settings → Security → USB Tethering → Enable "USB Tethering" or "HiLink Mode".

If official driver unavailable or installer fails

• Use Windows built-in drivers:
  1. Connect the device via USB.
  2. Open Device Manager → look for unknown device or portable device.
  3. Right-click → Update driver → Browse my computer → Let me pick from a list → choose “Network adapters” or “Modems” and try “Huawei USB NCM” or “USB composite device.”
• Extract drivers from a HiLink firmware ZIP (if provided) and point Device Manager to the extracted folder.
• Try compatibility mode: right-click installer → Properties → Compatibility → run in Windows 8/7 mode.
