Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/iamromulan/cellular-modem-wiki/issues/128

Device Details
Module: RG801H-EA (Quectel-based)

Goal: Install WebUI via cellular-modem-wiki tools and configure modem modes.

Issue Description
I followed the general instructions in your wiki for modem initialization, WebUI installation, and mode switching. However, the commands for setting the modem mode (e.g., switching between MBIM, ECM, or QMI modes) appear device-specific. My RG801H-EA either rejects the standard commands or fails to persist changes.

Specific Roadblocks
Mode-Switching Commands:

Tried standard AT commands (e.g., AT+QCFG="usbnet",1), but the modem resets unexpectedly or returns errors.

Need verified commands for RG801H-EA to enable modes compatible with WebUI (e.g., MBIM).

WebUI Installation:

The WebUI fails to start after installation, likely due to incorrect modem mode settings.
