Re: Does Mikrotik LTE supports IPV6?

and usually the same filtering applies as with IPv4 on the MNO side: you can not reach the endpoint over ipv6 if the device just connects to the internet via the mobile operators. they just allow sessions that have been initiated by the mobile end device. so in general it’s not just the NAT that sto...

Re: RBM33G not recognizing LTE cards

those cards are essentially USB devices. your wi-fi is a PCIe device.

check under /system routerboard usb what is set as type. it shall be mini-PCIe

[admin@router] /system routerboard usb> set type=
USB-type-A mini-PCIe

this is just a wild guess, i faced similar issue with a basebox :-)
