HUAWEI Mobile Connect - USB Device (COM5) Driver

The HUAWEI Mobile Connect – USB Device (COM5) driver helps Windows recognize and communicate with the USB serial interface on compatible Huawei mobile broadband hardware. You may need it if your connected device appears with a warning in Device Manager, its COM port is missing, or your connection software cannot detect it.

Key Features

• Enables communication between Windows and the compatible Huawei USB interface identified as COM5.
• Provides a serial communication port that supported connection or device-management software can use.
• Can resolve recognition problems caused by a missing, damaged, or incompatible driver.
• Supports installation on Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP when you choose a package matching your hardware and operating system.

COM5 is the port number assigned by Windows, not a separate Huawei hardware model. That number can change after reconnecting the device or using a different USB socket, so check the hardware ID rather than relying only on the displayed name.

How to Install HUAWEI Mobile Connect – USB Device (COM5) Driver

1. Identify your device and Windows edition. Open Device Manager, find the Huawei entry, and check Properties > Details > Hardware Ids. Confirm whether your system uses a 32-bit or 64-bit edition of Windows.
2. Choose a compatible package. Before starting your HUAWEI Mobile Connect – USB Device (COM5) driver download for Windows, verify that the package supports your hardware ID and operating system. Select the latest version that explicitly matches those requirements.
3. Download and prepare the files. Use a trusted source for a free download, scan the downloaded package, and extract it if it comes in an archive. Avoid installers that require unrelated software.
4. Install the driver. Run the supplied setup program, if available, and follow its instructions. Alternatively, right-click the device in Device Manager, select Update driver, and browse to the extracted driver folder.
5. Verify detection. Restart Windows if prompted, reconnect the Huawei device, and check that Device Manager lists it without a warning icon. Select the assigned COM port in your compatible software if required.

Keep the driver updated when a compatible release addresses a connection issue or improves reliability. For Windows 10/11 systems, check support separately: Windows 10 is listed here, but Windows 11 compatibility is not confirmed. Before an update, retain a working driver package so you can restore it if needed.
