Just wondering if anyone has got this 3G stick working with a 2820. It is listed as supported in the firmware release notes for 3.3.2 (below) but I just called the 'premium' support line to be told it isn't supported and never has been! Am I reading the wrong release notes?

I've tried to get the one provided by Orange working before, according to draytek support, the MF636 that Orange provide is different from the MF636 that those release notes list as being supported. Not sure whether that's a firmware or hardware difference but it certainly didn't work when I tried. Orange should be able to supply a different modem to use, I know the E1752 works.

Thanks Voodle. It is indeed from Orange.

Shame as we have a few of the MF636 from Orange here but looks like we'll need something else.
