Can anybody offer any gems of wisdom on how to set up a 3G modem on the 2860? The only reference I can find isn't for the new style of firmware.

I've tried a few variations of the setup - default initialisation string, and changing the APN (3internet, and three.co.uk), but it doesn't seem to attempt to connect. Is there any way to get any diagnostics out of it, or am I missing some (less than) obvious setting somewhere?

Cheers,

Steve.

For anybody stumbling across this in future, I can possibly save you some of the time I wasted...

If you set up the 3G WAN connection as a backup for other WAN connections then it won't show any signs of life until those connections go down.

I was expecting to see a signal strength or something even when it wasn't actively connected, and when it didn't show anything I thought it wasn't working properly. It was only when I plugged it into USB2, which I hadn't configured correctly, and it was still set as "Always On" that I noticed I was getting a connection along with signal strength stats.

I hope that helps somebody.
