Mikrotik Chateau LTE 12 - DNS 0?

Hello everyone! Today I just joined the Mikrotik Family with my “new” (actually open-boxed) Mikrotik Chateau LTE 12 and I’m already having some issues with it… I’ve always been able to configure the modems I had, I knew that RouterOS had a lot of settings to tweak but when I opened the web page for the first time I was like “Ok, so what do I have to do now?”.
To get at least the connection working, I followed a guide on YouTube that had the following tweaks (+ other safe changes I made to Wi-Fi and stuff like that):
/interface lte
set [ find ] band=1,3,7,20,8,2,38,40 mac-address=AC:FF:FF:00:00:00 mtu=1500
name=lte1
/interface bridge
add fast-forward=no name=bridge-lan
/interface wireless security-profiles
set [ find default=yes ] supplicant-identity=MikroTik
add authentication-types=wpa-psk,wpa2-psk eap-methods=“” management-protection=
allowed mode=dynamic-keys name=wifi-password-profile supplicant-identity=“”
wpa-pre-shared-key=12341234 wpa2-pre-shared-key=12341234
/interface wireless
set [ find default-name=wlan1 ] band=2ghz-b/g/n country=latvia disabled=no
frequency-mode=regulatory-domain mode=ap-bridge security-profile=
wifi-password-profile ssid=wifi-name-here wireless-protocol=802.11
/ip hotspot profile
set [ find default=yes ] html-directory=flash/hotspot
/ip pool
add name=dhcp_pool0 ranges=10.10.10.2-10.10.10.62
/ip dhcp-server
add address-pool=dhcp_pool0 disabled=no interface=bridge-lan name=dhcp1
/interface bridge port
add bridge=bridge-lan interface=wlan1
add bridge=bridge-lan interface=ether1
/ip address
add address=10.10.10.1/26 interface=bridge-lan network=10.10.10.0
/ip dhcp-server network
add address=10.10.10.0/26 dns-server=1.1.1.1,1.0.0.1 gateway=10.10.10.1
/ip firewall nat

lte1 not ready

add action=masquerade chain=srcnat out-interface=lte1 src-address=10.10.10.0/26
/ip service
set telnet disabled=yes
set ftp disabled=yes
set www disabled=yes
set ssh disabled=yes
set api disabled=yes
set winbox address=10.10.10.0/26
set api-ssl disabled=yes
/system identity
set name=Change-my-name!!!

Result? Well, nothing or close to nothing I’d say. The modem receives correctly an IPv4 address and apparently it’s connected to my ISP antenna (B1+B3) since I can see all the signal stats. The only interesting thing I noticed in the logs is the fact that, when the connection with my ISP is established, the DNS will always be 0 (in the DHCP server I put 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1).
So…

  • APN is correct
  • The modem shows stats (it should be connected then)
  • Firewall rules (NAT section) should be ok
  • DNS have been set manually
  • All the devices connected get their IP addresses

Since I bought it as “opne-boxed” there’s always the possibility that the item is damaged, but I’m 99% sure that it’s just me being completely ignorant.
Could you please help me? Thanks in advance :smiley:

Normally you did not have to do anything. The “Quickset” page gives you the ability to enter LTE APN and set WiFi password, all the other stuff should normally be left at default. What issue did you have with the defaults?

Thanks for the reply normis!
Well, since the default settings weren’t working I started messing around following various guides that I found on the internet.
This morning I managed to fix the issue tho! I restored the default settings and put this line on the terminal: interface/lte/apn/add name=profilename apn=ispapn use-network-apn=no
After that I simply went in the “Interface” tab and chaged the profile of the LTE module with the one that I created on the terminal and boom, connection established correctly!
Don’t know why I had to add another profile in this way, the 4G module not receiving correctly the APN maybe? I’m on RouterOS 7 beta8 and the LTE firmware has been updated to the latest version available.
