MikroTik

vanille

Hello I performed some test comparing the Mikrotik vs the stock router vs different speed test engines. Very strange: I was used to test my speed using the classic Ookla and with this test the stock router reaches almost the top speed allowed by my ISP ( Vodafone, 1000 Mbps\200 Mbps ); with Ookla th...

Many many thanks for your help. What I was trying to say is that when someone (like me) is not perfectly sure about what he is going to do and we are speaking about security... having a powerful device may have several side effects... let me say having the network attacked by hackers. Let me say... ...

vanille

I must be honest... I am running with the default router provided for free by the ISP. I wish to have something more secure, but even the most secure device, in the wrong hands, could be very dangerous compared to a simple device that someone like me can understand very very well. I got the MT worki...

This is what I did.... The wAP was used in the past for test purpose and was a bit messy, so I reset it to the factory default with a clean NetInstall to start from scratch. I am really sure: no default rules in the firewall section. If I reset again I will have the same result... I already did 3 ti...

I post again this message since it seems that the original messages is no more available. Yesterday the forum was down and when it resumed, not it is no more available. So, I have at home\office a 1 Gbps Internet connection. The ISP provides all the parameters (PPoE, user, password, VLan ID) and I h...

Not so easy to reveal the SIM holder. You have to remove the white cover, I mean the one protecting the electronics. Then remove the two WiFi antennas, remove some screws around, remove the LTE modem card from the miniPCI slot, remove other screws under the modem then finally you can split the elect...

vanille

I agree with you.
What I understood is that, most probably, SIM holder's contacts some time loose the connection so the message in the LOG is "SIM removed" even if no one touched anything and is fixed with a power off\on, a reboot or a LTE card disable\eneable

vanille

this setup run almost 1 year and half more or less and weeks ago suddenly this problem appeared.
The SIM is OK and the problem persists even swapping to a brand new SIM

vanille

Thanks for the support. This is the model: RBwAPGR-5HacD2HnD&R11e-LTE https://mikrotik.com/product/wap_ac_lte_kit Most probably the SIM card holder is faulty and every1 or 2 days the modem looses the Internet connection and the log days "SIM card not inserted". The way to solve is to p...

vanille

Is there someone that can help me to develop a script that every time the Mikrotik looses the internet connection then it reset the LTE card?

Thanks

vanille

No, I am not using any adapter. According to me, the only way to solve a message like "sin not inserted" is to remove and insert again, clean contacts, etc. Power cycle or LTE reset should not solve a mechanical problem. Maybe... you are saying that the SIM disconnects for a while due to w...

Good morning solved on problem here... a new one rise there... :-( A customer where I placed one wAP ac LTE6 kit called me because the premise where the unit was installed was going offline but switching off and on the power was solving. I had a look and this is the problem. The unit is working The ...

vanille

I used the suggested procedure, but with no success. In the meantime, yesterday I received a phone call from the tech support of the mobile operator saying that they were going to adjust the level of the mobile cell and this morning the Mikrotik was again working. So... I understand that the sensiti...

vanille

The only things configured are the APN and the SSID password. It is factory default The modem is the R11e-LTE6, firmware version 028. I suspect two things: something happened on the operator side, since the signal is very low other routers can lock the signal as well, but the Mikrotik can not. Other...

il firmware è già alla versione 6.48.3
la versione del firmware del modem è già l'ultimissima

comunque anche oggi idem... stessa situazione

strange bahaviour of my wAP ac LTE kit There is a problem here since i lost the connection and I come on site The Mikrotik says "registration status: disabled", I reset it, no improvements. I removed the SIM card and put it in another device (Huawei mobile hot spot) and it works fine Put t...

vanille

Just to let you know the end of the story. The nano to micro SIM adapter definitely damaged the SIM holder. This morning I visited a smartphone repair shop, but they refused to have a look to my Mikortik, so I got a new SIM holder for 2 euro, a big one, for traditional SIM... it was for Nokia phones...

vanille

many thanks for your effort.

Since the modem itself is also sold separately by MikroTik, where can it be used?

vanille

Eventually may I use the modem from my kit inot this:
https://mikrotik.com/product/wap_ac

in other words, what is the MikroTIk unit like the one in my kit but with modem inside?

vanille

OK. Removed the 4 red screws and the 2 green, split the mainboard from the black base and removed the SIM locked. Assembled everything again and now... the unit does no more recognize any SIM. it says SIM NOT INSERTED. Most likely the SIM holder has been damaged or something like that. I can use it ...

vanille

see the picture please. do you mean I have ti remove just the 4 RED or also the 2 two GREEN than are under the modem? Moreover, maybe removing the white plastic (the one around the ethernet ports) I can find some spece to remove the SIM without split the motherboard from the black base https://i.ibb...

vanille

Eventually,
anyone knows how to correctly disassemble the mainboard from the black base?

vanille

I can give a try again... but this time I am "blind", I can not see inside where I am going to put the glue...
Maybe better to bring the unit to a smartphone reapair shop ?

vanille

OK... I tried to use the "super glue solution just some minutes ago"... no lock... now it is worst https://i.ibb.co/10gBMkR/SIM.jpg In other words... the outer border of the SIM adapter has been pulled out and the rest is still inside i also have the CAT4 version of the same wAP kit and I ...

vanille

Yes I was trying different SIM card from different operators... and...
YES I used a SIM adapter because the SIM is a nano and the MikroTik slot is a micro.

I would like to avoid to use super glue... if the glue the blocks both the SIM and the chassis together... it will be a nightmare

vanille

Someone can help me please? I am no more able to remove the SIM from the wAP ac LTE6 kit the SIM slot is push-push... I mean you push until you hear the click and the SIM is inserted You push again until the click and the SIM can be pulled out No way... the SIM seems blocked into the slot and there ...

So, finally, I installed the wAP ac LTE6 kit where the mobile signal is the best. I am sitting 3 meters away from the MikroTIk and there is just a windows in the middle. My Widows laptop is connected to the MikroTIk SSID @ 2.4 GHz Windows signal icon in the taskbar is saying that the signal is very ...

Have you made sure the LTE modem uses latest Firmware? In Terminal : interface / LTE / firmware-upgrade I was already running the latest version of the LTE modem firmware: version 27 Support provided to me the version 28, that is still not available in OTA mode. As I wrote, version 028 fixes the th...

vanille

I would like to report here the results of several weeks using the wAP ac LTE6 kit. I must admit that I have a lot of modems\routers LTE cat4, cat6, cat12 and the only reason I got the MikroTik is the cell\band lock capability. Just out of the box, put the SIM inside, switch it on, configure the APN...

vanille

I am very very disappointed with such LTE 6 modem.
I can not understand why any crappy Huawey or ZTE provided almost for free by local TelCo performs far better than these MikroTIk
I can forget for a moment perfomances and look at stability: it is a nightmare

vanille

Of course I know, but in my mind this would be setup: the Mikortik work as a consumer mobile hotspot providing access to the public internet but the LAN interface is connected to my LAN and work as a console-port just to manage the MikroTik moreover the IP the MikroTik has on the LAN is forwared by ...

vanille

Done! adding DHCP client now it works. I can reach the MikroTik from remote with port forwarding, so MikroTik support can connect to it, as they requestes. But... now al the traffic destination public Internet goes through the edge router. I explain better: from inside the MikroTik if i ping or trac...

vanille

I am responding in English, if you agree. The MikroTik device works but not without problems. Support provided to me a beta version of the modem firmware that I installed. This version fixed the error I was experiencing but... unfortunately I have a new one. Support needs to connect to the device by...

I am trying to run this test against 23.162.144.120 (user\password btest) on a MikroTik R11e-LTE6. The BTest server respond to the ping request, but the band test fails (can't connect is the message). The MikroTik has just the local IP address configured and the LTE APN, of course... no other custom...

vanille

What BTest servers are available today?
I found some on this conversation: some respond to the ping, other do not, anyway I can not connect.
The router is configured as it comes out of the box... just changed the IP address to manage it in my LAN

vanille

What shitty question is "why .. i can not connect?" I agree with you when you say that the doctor can not guess your problems, but maybe, in my opinion, just asking to provide the config would be much more polite. Agreed this post has gone to the toilet. Do whatever you want, but it sound...

vanille

Since the v028 is not available over the air, I suppose it is in some kind of beta-testing. As I told, the v028 fixed the bug where the modem hangs after a cell lock command, but unfortunately I am experiencing additional problems: I loose packets, I loose periodically the connection for some second...

vanille

if I'm understanding correctly this is your edge router, the one directly facing the internet? Well... maybe I was not so clear... try to explain better. I have an edge router\firewall where my ISP brings the fiber and this is not the MikroTik. Of course I have there a public and static IP address,...

vanille

Understood and I agree with you. This way is the one we usually do with other vendors (Cisco, EMC, Dell, etc.), but I posted the question since it is what support asked to me to do. I will suggest to them teamviewer. Anyway... why forwarding the MikroTik IP\port to the public interface of my ISP rou...

Good morning since i am experiencing problems that the support can not solve, they would like to access my device from their labs. My firewall (the one that protect my LAN from the Internet) is already forwarding some ports to expose to the public network some local services and of course il works I...

For more clear situation, maybe a some firmware fix you can send e-mail to support@mikrotik.com, they can give you a new firmware 028 who fix some stuff but your problem is a first one. they already sent to me the 028 firmware and I am using it since 2 or 3 weeks. EDIT Since I have 2 Mikrotik LTE r...

Support provided me with firmware v028 which fixed the problems and reverted the performance and reliability back to pre v027 levels.... Since my LTE cat6 kit was hanging after some minutes after a cell lock command was sent, Support also provided to me the v028 firmware. With v028 the modem is not...

What Country ? Italy - Vodafone yes, this can be normal but your case is first with Primary Band PCI.. Some PCI can be only added to other one primary band and ISP can not share them to do connection to them. General, at LTE6 you can enable only 2 bands and run cell monitor who will be try display ...

vanille

Hello,

the LTE cat6 modem is usually connected to the same cell-id

Primary Band		B3@20Mhz earfcn: 1850 phy-cellid: 435

But this cellid is NEVER displayed in the LTE Cell Monitor, even if I put very huge Max Age time.

Is it normal?

the device is a R11e-LTE6

Is there anyone who can help me, please? I have this WAP LTE cat6 kit and I need to lock to a cell. out of the box the modem connect to a cell that is the one I need to lock and the same where the smartphones are locked to.

I was searcing the forum for problems like the ones I am experincing and found this topic. I have another device, it is the WAP KIT LTE cat6 and I have the very same problems.

Hello I am quite new into Mikrotik products. I just got a LTE cat4 kit and, compared to ZTE and Huawey cat4 modem...

One more question:
the command
AT*Cell=<mode>,<NetworkMode>,<band>,<EARFCN>,<PCI>
can be used to lock the modem to a cell

What command do I need to send to the modem to RESET? To let the modem again to automatically select everything without rebooting the device?

Hello I am new with MikroTik. I just got a WAP LTE kit because of the cell\band lock capability. I already have other modem\router from ZTE and Huawey but none of these can lock the cell or the band.
