EP06 windows driver for Windows 10 version 1903

I use EP06 for two purposes:

  • as 4G module with TeleWell TW-EAV510AC-B router
  • as self standing 4G module in laptop with Windows 10 version 1903
    EP06 module works OK with TeleWell router.

When using EP06 in laptop with:

  • Windows 10 version 1803 and Quectels Windows driver “setup.exe date 26.10.2018”
    module worked OK.
    When updated Wondows 10 to version 1903 EP06 module does not work properly.
    Currently Windows 10 version 1903 has latest NET Framework update KB4514359.
    I have tryed to use drivers from packages:
  • Quectel_LTE_Windows_USB_Driver_V2.1.7 “setup.exe dated 12.06.2019”
  • Quectel_LTE&5G_Windows_USB_Driver_V2.1 “setup.exe dated 08.09.2019”
    Both drivers have same problems:
  • 4G LTE connection gets up, works a while, stops working, starts again and so on.
    Device Manager shows following:
    (sorryy I have finnish version of Windows - so some translations may be strange)
  • POrt(Com and LPT)
    • Quectel USB AT Port (COM3) – General – device is working OK
    • Quectel USB DM Port (COM5) – General – device is working OK
    • Quectel USB NMEA Port (COM7) – General – device is working OK
      But on everyonce events there is “Informations”
      ----> “Device USB\VID_2C7C&PID … requires further installation”
  • USB-drivers - High Speed Composite Device (0004)
    ----> “Device USB\VID_2C7C&PID … requires further installation”

Communication Manager shows status:
Mobile Device — MOI (LTE)
not in use (or removed from use)
However at this point module is working OK.
When Status is:
Mobile Device — MOI
not in use (or removed from use)
At this status module has no connection – until Windows starts it again.

What is the reason for this. Windows 10 version 1903 obviously requires from
driver setup something which Your driver versions do not set correctly?

The module I use is:
Card Name EP06
Card Firmware EP06ELAR01A06M4G

Step 1: Install Visual Studio 2019. Windows Driver Kit requires Visual Studio. When installing Visual Studio 2019, choose desktop development with a C++ workload.
Step 2: Install the updated Windows SDK for Windows 10.
Step 3: Install Refreshed WDK for Windows 10.

I use windows 11. Same problem with disconnects.

Seems that the internal windows EP06-E driver works fine.

This is what I would do. Install the latest ndis driver. Then if you observe disconnects in device manager, or the cellular device in network connections disconnects every 9 seconds, then open device manager uninstall and delete the Quectel driver under network adapters only. Then do a refresh and the internal windows driver EP06 will be installed automatically in its place. Now it should be working fine. You may need to remove and reinsert the usb cable once.

Also at port in device manager I would also make another change. (this came from the quectel lte evb user guide)
Select Quectel USB AT Port
Set baudrate 115200.

My EP06-E performs same as my iphone 13 under 4G in a confined office space (20-30mbps download speed) which is not bad bearing in mind that my network provider has terrible download speeds.

You can also perform firmware update in this stable condition.
(above info holds true for EP06-E with an external usb 3g/4g module usb2.0 adapter)

Good luck
