4G USB + WiFi Hotspot

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

I’m trying to configure Alcatel Onetouch L850V 4G usb stick to work with MikroTik hAP ac lite router by WinBox 6.34.4 for entire day…

Stick with SIM card provides constant internet access via USB when plugged into laptop, but there is no internet access trough WiFi on router.
I’ve been trough few tutorials, but it just doesn’t work, most of them recommend ppp-out1 interface with port “usb1” but I have nothing in that dropdown and I thing that I should use something different since stick is constantly connected and I shouldn’t need to provide my ISP user/pass or dial modem.

I do have “lte” interface, but I’m not managing to connect it to WiFi… I’m software developer, new to networking terms, so if someone could point to right tutorial or point me right way, it would be great :slight_smile:

Ports you can find in ‘system’, ‘ports’. If there’s a usb assigned one I reckon it would be there.
Not sure about the other parts, however I’m pretty certain LTE isn’t supported in the current mikrotik version (although I believe it should be in version 7?)

I did manage to get it working, 4G Alcatel stick works fine over LTE - this tutorial was very helpfull http://www.wirelessinfo.be/index.php/mikrotik/pages/3g

LTE has been supported for years. The problem I need most often is forgetting to add dhcp-client on LTE interface.

Every LTE iteration in each country? Just checking because I was told more than once by 3 people here in AU that it doesn’t work here yet. Weird!
