    Hope this time works! :)

    Edit: these drivers come up with my Huawei E173 Modem running on Windows 8.1
    Yep, the zip file is there. I haven't looked inside, because it wouldn't do me much good (I don't have a Huawei device).

    I think the best path dejager183 can take is to post the device manager screen shot for now. I have been able to get older USB 802.11 adapters to work by installing through Device manager - some devices needed a bit more coaxing (a different mfr'd device with the identical chip, then using that inf file ... but that's a lot of investigation).

    I'm thinking the device might be visible in DevMgr and dejager183 might be able to coerce the install using what they have.

    Your zip file might come in handy, but there is a risk in just installing those drivers. I don't know the specifics of the two devices.

    Thanks for posting them - we'll see how things go and maybe one of us can research the devices a bit further.

    If you have the E173 installed and running, could you provide any additional information (driver version, chipset - there aren't that many really - Intel, Broadcom, Realtek, ....). Also is the E173 phone capable (see I really know nothing about the Huawei devices

    Thanks, it falls back into dejager183's court.

    The E173 modem is running on integrated Intel chipset. On the screenshots you can see the driver versions. I don't think it is phone capable - I am using it only to surf the net. In the drivers that I have uploaded there are many hardware ids, I hope the E352 modem hardware id is among them.

    Hi guys, the modem had software installed that i removed and replaced with a newer version of Mobile Partner using the dashboard Tool. That is all that is installed on the modem at the moment, I have tried various other versions of Mobile Partner aswel and it still doesn't get "picked up" by Win 10, yet it works perfectly in Windows 7. I tried downloading the drivers werty listed but for some reason i cant download them (yes i am registered on MediaFire). It is very strange that it doesn't get recognised as a modem in Win 10. Any other advise ... please guys, this is turning out to be one heck of a challenge ... lol

    Finally, managed to resolve the problem by downloading the Mobile Partner version from the Huawei website designed for Windows 8.1 and updating the Modem Software & Drivers. This installs the drivers for the device and it works perfectly in all versions of Windows including Windows 10 TP.
    Here is the link to the download for the software & drivers should anyone else have a similar problem.

    Where there's a will ... there's a way. I probably would have missed that page since it references Mac first - great find and thanks for posting the information.

    After you unzip the drivers use this tutorial to install using the Device Manager
