How to connect HyperTerminal or Putty with Netgear AC785?

Hi, I'm trying to connect AC785 with HyperTeminal or Putty but no luck to make it works. I want to do some AT commands test? Please help.

Thanks.

Hello Wmlooi

What exactly are you trying to test for?

Hi DarrenM,

The Netgear AC785 is a good product and I'm happy to bought it. But, it lacks of some features such as compose/send SMS and USSD code. That's why I want to connect AC785 with HyperTeminal or Putty to test some AT commands to see whether the modem can compose/send SMS and USSD code.

Hi Wstyle1,

The Netgear AC785 can connect with my Android phone using Netgear AirCard app. This app has a lot of features and one of them is read SMS. Yes, only can read but cannot compose/send SMS. No USSD feature.

OK, I managed to make it work with HyperTerminal. I just use it to send a few USSD codes.

The new firmware I just updated now can compose/send SMS. This is good.

It will be better if the next update can add the USSD code feature.

Thanks.

Oh, fyi. I need to install the below driver in order to make it work.

Thanks.
