The Huawei E5573 drivers for Windows 10 are not mythical or hard to find – they are likely already on your portable hotspot’s internal storage. The key is understanding that USB tethering is optional, and Wi-Fi remains the most trouble-free method.
However, when USB tethering is required (e.g., for a PC without Wi-Fi, or for a more stable, latency-sensitive connection), the NDIS driver installation is straightforward if you follow the steps outlined above. Avoid third-party driver sites, trust Windows’ built-in capabilities, and when in doubt, use the web interface to switch USB modes.
With the right drivers, the Huawei E5573 transforms from a mere travel router into a robust, always-on 4G backup adapter for your Windows 10 PC – no configuration, no fuss, just reliable internet anywhere.
