I need to connect a 3G Dongle to my Raspberry Pi running windows IoT Core. I currently have a Vodafone K5160 Dongle but I don't seem to have the required drivers for WindowsIot Core. I read that you need Universal driver for this but it is not practical to build one for each dongle and neither am I familair with driver development. Is there any workaround for this ? Or has anyone connected another dongle/ has necessary drivers? I deperately need one please.:) Thank you guys!

  • K5160 is not officially supported by microsoft yet, K515- is. https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/iot/docs/hardwarecompatlist. However, you may still try the approach in http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35617679/usb-mobile-broadband-modem-on-windows-10-iot. – Jackie Oct 07 '16 at 03:20
  • @Jackie Thankyou! I had tried this approach - [link](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35617679/usb-mobile-broadband-modem-on-windows-10-iot) earlier but I got stuck. It said the profile was not created with this command 'netsh mbn add profile interface="Cellular" name="profile.xml" ' . – nj_bubbles Oct 07 '16 at 09:13
  • @Jonathan Hiben Can you maybe help? – nj_bubbles Oct 07 '16 at 09:32

Finally got it working using a K5160 Vodafone 3G Dongle. I used partly the approach in USB Mobile Broadband Modem on Windows 10 IoT? with a few modifications.
