MikroTik Chateau 12 LTE - NSLookup OK, No Internet?

[spoonman007]

OK - Like WTF? I did your Step #2 Try disable “Use Network APN”… And I can now get out… Explain this to me… I am super Happy it is working - but at the same time - very confused… pda.bell.ca works on 3 other LTE devices… I am SURE we tried internet as the default APN as well - and without success… Anyway - What ever the reason - THANK YOU!! Super happy it is working… We have a similar issue with the MikroTik Audience - I will give it a try… Woo Hoo! Many Thanks… ( I just wish I could understand the reason!)

Cheers,
Spooner

When you play with this option and enable lte logs by

Enable logging of LTE, regular logs.

/system logging action add name=support target=memory memory-lines=16384 
/system logging remove [find where topics~"lte"] 
/system logging add action=support topics=lte

Then you see in logs that APN was used other then you enter … because it’s receive from ISP and yes. ISP can give you APN who will not work, really.

Then your case is solve in Windows way, by one checkbox

Please, what APN is used?

paste on the forum the results of

/interface lte export verbose

for all other users with same problem.

uh.. are the same setting I suggest on my 2nd post on this topic, that you do not follow…:

/int lte apn
add apn=pda.bell.ca name="Bell Canada" use-network-apn=no
/int lte
set lte1 apn-profiles="Bell Canada"

And again on post #9, but you do not follow it…

/int lte apn
set "Bell Canada" use-network-apn=no

But you have RouterOS 7.0.2 at that time, now you have the 7.1beta3

Hi restended… Sorry for the confusion, I did indeed follow your advice on your 2nd Post & Post #9… See my replies below… your advice had APN=no, so yes - I guess it would have worked - but it did not work with the previous release that the Chateau was running… Now that I am at the very latest release - it seemed to have worked… My apologies! Lots of factors working with a device that doesn’t have a stable release I guess… I really appreciate all the assistance… Could not have figured it out without the assist…

My reply 2nd Post:
Thanks much for the post… Yes, the APN was set via the QuickSet when we were doing the testing. If you didn’t see it in the rsc file its probably one of the iterations where we had just reset the unit to factory. The SIM we used in other LTE devices without issue… We have always been trying the configuration as close to default as possible just to eliminate any issues made in the config… ie. Plug in the SIM and set the APN and it should work… We just managed to get a MikroTik Audience LTE 6 going with the BELL SIM and the same APN… I ran the commands provided on the Chateau-12 with no success to get out to the Internet - However, yes, we are able to do NSLOOKUP...

My reply Post #9:
Sorry! In Toronto at the ERU Warehouse… was away form the laptop. OK - Done but with no change - can still NSLookup though! Just can’t get out to surf… Have included latest RSC File…

Thanks for all your help…

7.1beta3 is not the newest, it came out in December. beta 4-6 came out since, and then rc1 and rc2.

@rbuserdl

I understand that case is not solved by change APN like you write and I quote ?
Then it’s like your ISP not pass you internet and block you by some purpose.

Do step after step


1) Try use webpage with proper DNS from ISP
You have a good DNS, MikroTik have got only DNS from ISP and end user have got MikroTik itself or ISP.

But you must remove that 192.168.88.1 from DHCP Server and pass only ISP DNS IP because your Chateau not have a ALLOW to use 192.168.88.1, I see that here: #17

You must add this option or remove 192.168.88.1 from DHCP Server Network tab. One of two you must do.

This step maybe have necessery fix a TTL value what is here https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Interface/LTE#Avoiding_tethering_speed_throttling means:
/ip firewall mangle add action=change-ttl chain=postrouting new-ttl=set:65 out-interface=lte1 passthrough=yes
Then try any webpage.
With that ATT in USA show at any webpage message “It looks like you want to use data but have none available. You may need to add data.” and then we know what to do.


2) Try disable “Use Network APN”.
This APN must be used inside lte1 interface if you have few of them.
APN: you should use your of course, my “internet” is common/default one
IP Type: change from auto to IPv4

Remember that you must select proper APN Profile in lte1 General tab.
Why? Because you show us at screenshot that you use TWO APN Profiles. Maybe you create it but it is not selected inside lte1 ?

3) Spoof lte module vendor that you have other LTE device.
You say it’s work out-of-box in LHGR who use R11e-LTE6, that card IMEI almost work at every plan .
If you get to that point then best way will be get IMEI of that LHGR unit and not use that device. Use IMEI from LHGR inside Chateau LTE12.
I edit this answer/post if ad 1&2 not help and write you a way here.

Hi,

I’m having the same issue here but I don’t have enough knowledge to follow your 2nd solution.

When I type:

int lte apn
use-network-apn=no

the terminal gives me syntax error on = mark
And I can’t find this checkbox in the WebFig

Can you guys help me please .

Thanks a lot
