R11e-LTE Windows drivers

Hardware MikroTik hardware general

Hello,
I purchased two R11e-LTE minipcie-cards to be used in windows laptops (windows 7).
These are recognized as:

  • Remote NDIS based internet sharing device
  • Marvell mobile CMCC CD USB device (empty/corrupted)
  • Mobile AT interface (driver missing)
  • Mobile Diag interface (driver missing)
    There might have been a fifth, I can’t remember anymore.

Linux will find /dev/ttyACM0 and ttyACM1, the latter will respond to AT.

Are there, or are there even any plans to make windows-drivers for these?

Best regards,
Martin

We do not plan to release Windows drivers. This LTE card is made for the RouterOS.
You might try to enable the lte,!raw logging topic and try to manually send the AT commands in the same sequence as RouterOS does but we can’t guaranty that it will work such way.

Hi,

Do you plan to support the card with linux?

Hi!
You still do not have plans to develop drivers for Windows?

The question is already answered

There are dozens of other LTE cards for laptops on the market.

If it’s still actual then I confirm that R11e-LTE is working under Windows OS (I tested on win10x64). As uldis wrote - modem need to be initialized by send the AT commands. But first we need to install standard win drivers for rndis adapter, like described here https://teleofis.ru/docs/lt40/Content/3_configuration/3.5_configuring_rndis.htm, after that you get usb rndis adapter in network connections. This RNDIS USB adapter will got ip address via dhcp client right after modem initialization and we will have access to Internet network.

For me I wrote *.cmd script, maybe it will help to someone for start up and using r11e-lte under windows:

cls

set mysp=\\.\com4

set myapn=internet.yota

set myrndis=Ethernet 2

set mydns1=8.8.8.8

set mydns2=1.1.1.1


netsh interface set interface name="%myrndis%" disable

echo AT+CGCONTRDP=5> %mysp%

netsh interface set interface name="%myrndis%" enable

timeout 30 /nobreak

netsh interface ipv4 set dnsservers "%myrndis%" static %mydns1% primary

netsh interface ipv4 add dnsservers "%myrndis%" %mydns2% index=2

ipconfig /flushdns

netsh interface ipv4 show addresses name="%myrndis%"

netsh interface ipv4 show dnsservers name="%myrndis%"

pause

netsh interface ipv4 show route

pause

mysp is usb serial port of r11e-lte, which respond on AT-commands

I’m interested on this as my windows10 HP laptop has MiniPci-e slot with hspa+ module I would replace with a LTE module.
It seems the only european bands capable minipci-e card is r11e-LTE indeed.

What about ?
