How to Update Huawei E5786s-32a Firmware

This article describes how to upgrade the Huawei E5786s-32a firmware to 21.297.03.00.309 firmware version. This update activates the Wi-Fi Extender function that is not implemented in the firmware of all E5786 routers, although it is mentioned in the technical specifications.

The Wi-Fi Extender function allows the Huawei E5786 router to switch from the 4G network to a WiFi network available around so that you can access the WiFi network, in order to save your Data plan. If the WiFi signal is lost, the router switches automatically to the data network.

We 4gltemall.com are not liable for any damages on your device if you carry out this operation which takes place at your own risk.

 

 

We started with the following versions of the software (firmware) and WEB GUI (UI) installed by default on the E5786 in our possession:

Hardware version: CL3E5786SM

Software version: 21.297.03.00.309

Web UI Version: 17.100.05.00.309

The new firmware version essentially fixes security issues related to open-ssl.

 

First of all, you have to install the HUAWEI drivers, for this we recommend installing the application “Mobile WiFi” whose sources are on the flash memory of the router. This application installs the appropriate drivers for a full USB connection.

 

Use a good quality USB data cable to connect your router to your PC, we recommend that you use the one provided with the device. You should see a drive containing the application; we installed this application in version 1.12.00.309 on Windows 10 without difficulty. Once this application is installed, the firmware update program is able to communicate with the E5786 Router.

 

 

Operations

 

When your router is detected after launching the program, the program may ask you for a flash code or flashcode in a small window that opens, be careful, it is not a network unlock code, but a code that allows the firmware to be updated.

 

To obtain the code of flashing, it is necessary to identify the IMEI number of your device, it is generally written on the box and the body label of the device. We can give you the flashing code, this operation is absolutely free.

Highlights of Speedbox LTE mini II

Instead of LTE category 4 with the frequency bands 800/900/1800/2100/2600 MHz, the Speedbox LTE mini II is now with Category 6 and supports more bands with additional 4G at 850 MHz. Thanks to LTE CAT6, a maximum download rate of up to 300 Mbit/s is possible, which is twice the first Speedbox LTE mini. In addition to the normal Speedbox II, this is the first LTE-Advanced router available in Germany. The particularly fast standard 802.11ac allows here a data transfer of up to 433 Mbit/s, while the module sends on 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz.

 

The capacity of the battery was 3,000 mAh available. The dimensions remained almost the same as E5786, only the weight more slightly to 5 grams. The Speedbox Mini LTE is powered by a new chipset from Huawei HiSilicon, which comes along in 28-nanometer architecture Cortex-A9 architecture and allows the use of LTE CAT6. Furthermore, if the high-speed internet is not available,  you can also rely on HSPA (+) with up to 43.2 Mbit/s, and EDGE and GPRS are also supported.

 

 

Wireless Internet Hotspot

 

The small dimensions make the Mini-Router an ideal travel partner. At the same time, the device has a hotspot feature that allows up to 10 other terminals to access the Internet. It’s perfect to use it in apartments without power, or in the car etc.

Without any SIM lock, you can take the pocket WiFi anywhere!
