Hello everyone.
I’m completely fresh to this topic. Recently bought used RBSXTR&r11e kit. Had some problems at first with detecting it in WinBox but NetInstall helped. After inserting my t-mobile sim I got signal in quick set, however now I’m stuck at sim being detected, but I’m getting no internet output through the Ethernet cable. What am I supposed to do now? I do appreciate the abundance of settings you can set up, but the level of experience and knowledge that is required to do that is unfortunately above me. Can someone walk me through the initial set up so I can get connection to my laptop out of it? I’m also not sure if my kit has Wi-Fi router in it, if not, how can I connect to another router to output Wi-Fi through it?
Re: Need help setting up my RBSXTR-LTE.
Could you kindly export your configuration here?

Re: Need help setting up my RBSXTR-LTE.
There are two SIM slots, so you may need to set the alternative one (or swap the SIM cards inside work too). If it's V6, the SIM slots is under System > RouterBoard, or in V7 under Interfaces > LTE tab > Modem.
No Wi-Fi on RBSXTR, just ethernet.
Is this going to another router, or is the idea the SXT is the router for the network?
Also, on some configs, ether1 is a WAN port, which may need to get converted to a LAN port. Is your laptop getting a 192.168.88.x address automatically?

Sorry it took so long for me to reply, Holidays prevented me from accessing the modem 
Here is the exported file:
I have not set up anything yet as you can see. I have only tried connection with my laptop so far, IP I'm getting for the modem is 0.0.0.0

Normally the defaults leave you a decent place. But that config ain't going to work and it's multiple things. But even in this state LTE should still come up IF it carrier supports a "network apn" — problem is not all carrier support this.
At the same Terminal, you might try doing a:
That may get a better starting place for the LAN/etc. After the reset, go to the QuickSet screen.
If the modem does not show LTE IP on the QuickSet screen still. You may need to the "APN" there. Some carriers support auto configuration, but not all – in which case you need change the "APN Profile" on the router. You may want to google for your carrier name and "APN" and try that in the QuickSet field for the modem. If the instructions you find mention more than just an "APN Name", you need to go to main UI to set them..
The same APN setting in Interface menu on left > LTE tab > LTE APNs button > double-click "default". So if you want to try a different APN (e.g. google suggests several), just change the APN Profile, and then look at the LTE tab to see if it's running.
Also Log menu should show some errors. Anyway, see if better defaults with the reset-configuration and/or setting the APN help. If things aren't working, include any error and post a new configuration after the reset.

Re: Need help setting up my RBSXTR-LTE.
Another couple of things that suggest resetting would be a good idea is the presence of items marked as *5 or *4 (very likely there is a missing entry for bridge, but more generally whenever you see something with a leading asterisk it means that the item that was there has been deleted or renamed and the ROS cannot find anymore what that is).
You have this:
The dhcp-client is disabled anyway, so it isn't relevant, still it points to *nowhere*.
This is also "strange":
Since these changes may lock you out of the router (except maybe using Winbox with MAC address) it would be easier to reset and start fresh.
You have this:
But you have no bridge defined, it should be something *like*:/interface bridge port
add bridge=*5 interface=ether1
add bridge=*5 interface=ether2
and then:/interface bridge
add name=bridge1
The above is connected to these:/interface bridge port
add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether1
add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether2
Right now ether1 is not part of any bridge, and the IP address is assigned to ether1 as "standalone" interface, and the first IP assignment line is not used/not working, if you add correctly the bridge you need to correct it so that the IP is added to the bridge (and then the second line should be removed)/ip address
add address=192.168.188.1/24 interface=*5 network=192.168.188.0
add address=192.168.188.1/24 interface=ether1 network=192.168.188.0
/ip dhcp-client
add disabled=yes interface=*4
The dhcp-client is disabled anyway, so it isn't relevant, still it points to *nowhere*.
This is also "strange":
lte1 should be WAN only, and the other interfaces and/or the bridge should be normally LAN./interface list member
add interface=lte1 list=WAN
add interface=lte1 list=LAN
Since these changes may lock you out of the router (except maybe using Winbox with MAC address) it would be easier to reset and start fresh.
Re: Need help setting up my RBSXTR-LTE.
Huge success so far, configuration reset did bring big changes!
After reset I did not apply any changes on my side, as it seems to be working.
Here is the config export now:
LTE now connects and gives out connection to the laptop. Connection seems extremely slow though, but I assume the sim card could be at fault. Are there any things I should change now for it to work correctly with external router? Are there any setting related to connection speed I could set to make it work as smooth as possible?
+ Thank you for the help so far, without it I don't think I would see any progress

Re: Need help setting up my RBSXTR-LTE.
Good news. I think this went south when you did the netinstall. I suspect it did work orginally and did NOT need netinstall, but if new and not familiar with using MAC address in winbox to connect... it can look like things don't work and need a netinstall....
If you haven't already upgrade the modem firmware, using Interface > LTE tab > "lte2" > Upgrade Firmware button.
Keep in mind, the SXT is a directional antenna so where it's pointed matters... If you look at the LTE interface "Status" page, you can move it around to see what increases RSRP (there negative numbers, so -80 is better than -100). If you post the various LTE reading me/others can tell more about signal. But try to optimize it by moving around and measuring the RSRP first.
The lights on back should also work to show the signal. If they don't, you should be able to add something like:
which get the lights on back to show signal level.
