Huawei K5160 LTE interface

RouterOS General
1

Ciao!
I’m having some troubles with the Huawei (Vodafone) K5160 LTE dongle.
Under Windows 10, without installing any software, just creating the APN profile, the device works correctly, connecting to Internet; the LED on the dongle becomes purple and steady on.
With RouterOS 7.18 the LTE interface is created, but no connection is etablished; the LED just blink purple.
The only notable difference is that Windows reports this when the connection is established (using ipconfig /all):

   Description: Generic Mobile Broadband Adapter #18
   Physical Address: 88-87-91-**-**-**
   DHCP Enabled: No
   Autoconfiguration Enabled: Yes
   Link-local IPv6 Address: fe80::bf85:****:****:****%9
   IPv4 Address: 10.14.X.X
   Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.252
   Default Gateway: 10.14.X.X
   DNS Servers: 83.158.240.241, 83.158.240.240
   NetBIOS over Tcpip: Enabled

while RouterOS just gets a local address (192.168.8.100/24) from the dongle via DHCP. The dongle itself acts as a gateway with the address 192.168.8.1/24.

The APN is the same, with the same parameters.
Is there any special configuration I have to set up?
I’m using a Mikrotik RB750Gr3 (hEX mmips).

Thanks!
Denis

Looks like its loaded in config-less mode, apn settings from RouterOS will be ignored in this case - configure it through http://192.168.8.1
or change /interface lte settings set mode=mbim and try to load it in mbim mode.

It worked!
Actually the modem was in auto mode; setting it in mbim works perfectly.
Thank you!
