The Stick K3565-T (ZTE), we have over Vodafone web sessions, works fine and is also officially supported by TP-Link.
The following preparatory work is necessary for the establishment of Call & Surf via radio:
- Insert SIM card of Telekom in a mobile phone and in the settings remove the SIM lock on the SIM card. Alternatively, one can make a stick software on the computer, too.
The rest is easy:
Insert SIM card in stick -
- Stick to USB Connection
Connect computers via Ethernet cable to the router -
- Open the browser 192.168.1.1, admin / admin.
- By clicking Wizard.
Access for Telekom Call & Surf via radio are.
- Dial number: * 99 #

For the transition from DSL, you can connect the DSL modem to the WAN port, reset the router under "Network" on "3G Preferred" and enter under the WAN PPPoE credentials of the DSL connection. Once the activation of the SIM card is carried out, the router automatically uses the 3G network. We had our Telekom router set to PPPoE pass through and make sure that no IP address conflict arises.
In summary, this is a cheap and robust alternative to an expensive Speedport LTE by Deutsche Telekom. This manual confirms this.
Gimmick: To measure the amount of traffic, the router has a UPnP command. For queries you can use on Ubuntu such as UPnP router control.
