Hello There
Just received my Huawei CPE Pro from the 5GEE Home Router bundle
It is the Huawei H112 - B372 model
My issue is with this router now I cannot connect my switch or even do some facetime and all the app for video call its says all the time connecting .. but nothing.
Just before I had the home broadband from Three, very slow speed, but at least I did not get any issue for all Video call or even connecting my switch.
Any idea of what could be the problem in the settings ?
Tried to take off the firewall, same issue
Tried to unblock the parental control from EE, same issue
Following that post : https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/4G-and-mobile-data/Torrent-issue-with-Huawei-5g-CPE-Pro/m-p/838918/hig...
I bet I could be the APN issue, but can't find where to change/ tweak it.
Thank you very much fr your help

Originally I didn't see the drop-down to allow me to choose IPv4 only, but I got this working with my H112-372 that I bought from Amazon by doing the following.
The problem is that some fields are hidden by default by Huawei, I don't know why they do this but the only way I've found to get around this is via the Developer Tools (in Chrome).
I followed Ray's post to open the menu to add a new APN. I then opened the Developer Tools (on Chrome on Mac this is done with Option + ⌘ + i), I then typed the following in and pressed return and voila, scroll down a bit in the add APN window and you can see the drop-down below the Authentication one:
$('#ip_type').show();
This line is basically just telling your web browser to unhide something called 'ip_type' which is what we're interested in.
Once successful, you can then continue to follow Ray's post and successfully add an IPv4-only APN.

@Ray_88 Thanks Ray, I had the same problem and your ipv4 update steps seems to have fixed it!
I did get my Huawei CPE 5G router independently of EE so didn't have any issues changing to ipv4.
Cheers!

Hi - I think this is what I need to do and can get the developer tools open but where exactly do I type that command in?

Hi. At the very bottom of the dev tools is a box with > at the start. This is a cmd line. Just place this command in it:
$('#ip_type').show();
And it'll show the hidden menu. Works a treat. Thanks tmrbnsn
Anyway to find out all the other hidden menus? I assume VPN would be blocked/hidden via CSS?

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to say thank you for this thread.
Our household has had problems with our PS4 and Nintendo Switch connecting, something about NAT C errors or so. We were pretty upset at the idea of not being able to play Animal Crossing online and had to use a mobile hotpost in the meantime.
With Ray_88's solution it fixed it all immediately! Thank you so much once again.

So I want to say to Ray, thank you. I have been messing with this for a year so I am relieved you figure it out. Excuse my ignorance but does this mean if I have a internal router connected to the Huaweii I can now port forward and have a public IP? I want to be able to make my internal NAS available with a public IP so I can access it. any help is much appreciated. @Ray88

Hi,
unfortunately i am not very much tech savvy apologies! I am very happy that my process is working for many. Appreciate it.
Hopefully someone can help you on port forwarding query?
i am still surprised that EE have not really found a permanent fix to this for us. Surely they must be receiving many complaints and taking action?!
Regards,
R

You can view and change the IPV4 configuration by opening up the developer console in Safari and typing in $('#ip_type').show();

Thanks for the information in this thread. Just got EE 5G home broadband and had issues until I disabled ipv6. One would hope a firmware update is coming to fix these issues as otherwise the service is great.

Been tearing my hair out trying to solve an issue with my mesh router (Tenda MW3) connecting to the CPE pro (H112-370 - Vodafone unit) but having no internet access. Turns out it was the EE APN and the mesh router only had an IPv4. Your post resolved it! 😁
Used your line of code to show the option to adjust the IP type, thank god you posted that or I would have flung the thing outta the window trying to show the hidden options.
