Hi all,
I’ve got this harware for a mobile hotpot. Sierra MC8705 is supported by Mikrotik and I expected no problems, but I am unable to make it work.
Card is recognized OK, and it see it in /ports and /system resources. The LTE interface goes up and shows a nice AT command dialog.

But after that I have no connection to Internet.
The card configuration is shown in the screenshot below:

I’ve spent several days with no progress. I’ve changed the APN as Vodafone in Spain has several possible apns with no luck.
Any clue? I appreciate any pointers.
