Hello to Mikrotik forum
I have LHG4G kit to test with Three uk 4g services however i have no luck with initial set up can anyone offer some advice please ?
Sorry to waste your times i am learning new to this products before i have used only Huawei b315 -b310 routers and they work very well at this location.
I noticed not camped on cell in lte log.
Do i have correct config for three uk APN settings ? Is anyone else using this setup>
Thank you
Rikjaard

You should ask your ISP about proper APN.
I try find it and first result in google give me: https://www.teamknowhow.com/discover/discover/three-apn-settings and answer: APN: three.co.uk
You should know about last change log :
What’s new in 6.47beta19 (2020-Jan-09 08:08):
*) lte - use APN from network when blank APN used on R11e-4G
You can leave empty APN field, then ROS will be try receive APN from ISP !
You should read a documentation: https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Interface/LTE
Remember that your RB is 30° focus and you must have good direction to proper eNB to receive registration in network and good Band to connect with ISP. Every Band can have differ direction with the best speed, check eNB numbers.
Your before device have connected any external antenna and you use app like HManager to select band’s on it?
Thank you for your reply Sib
Forgive me i did not make clear which software i was using Currently Last Stable Version 6.46.2 stable with APN = three.co.uk
THANK YOU for some direction i will return to trying new Beta software to see if it resolve my incompetence.
For information i can see direct 1km the cell tower i have direction straight.
That way:
/interface lte set lte1 !band
/interface lte set lte1 other_option=“”
At screenshot you try add a new apn. Better is use one and the same apn and testing that value who start work with internet.
Example:
/interface lte apn set [find name="default"] apn="three.co.uk" ;
# /interface lte apn print; This give you a number of apn entry
/interface lte apn set 0 apn="three.co.uk" ;
I bought second unit and it worked with basic setup as before ! The only change is hardware, MikroTik LHG 4G/LTE High gain 21dBi CPE - RBLHGR+R11e-4G is original unit i made post about issue not camped on Cell -
Second Unit is MikroTik LHG LTE - RBLHGR&R11e-LTE !
The LTE unit is locked onto band 20 - Band 20 is available on the 4G unit but does not obtain a lock hence original post asking for help.
I will contact vendor as i think its defective unit ?
Thank you for your input,

I write more info at ones because I hope you do more test and not buy next device :).
First.
At this forum when you try search a “Not camped on cell” you discover two cases where only Band20 = 800Mhz are not work but other band’s works…:
[]SXT LTE kit - nothing received on Band 20 (800 MHz) - where autor plugout the internal antenna and connect own external antenna to modem - this way he connect antenna directly created to 800Mhz. Better was RBM11G + r11e-LTE6 or EP06 with 2CA.
[]LTE Registration Denied R11e-4G in RB912UAG-5HPnD - where autor set a proper APN and receive connection.
But please check that you have updated MODEM FIRMWARE first. I know about latest version here:
You should connect on ANY band to your ISP and receive connection with internet. The apn=“” or specific one should do a connection finaly. When you receive connection at any Band then do:
.
[marcin.przysowa@SXTR_LTE6] > interface lte at-chat 0 input="at+cgdcont\?"
output: +CGDCONT: 5,"IP","internet.cp.mnc012.mcc260.gprs","37.109.59.226",0,0,,,,
.
This way you receive the APN from your ISP. My is “internet.cp” who give me Public IP.
To disable specific band try this:
.
/interface lte set lte1 !band
/interface lte set lte1 band=""
/interface lte set lte1 band=8,20,3,1,7
.
When you have a sure about APN and connection at any band you can set band by band and check what speed you receive at every separate band.
You can write the eNB who give you information about Tower no. - differ number means differ BTS/eNB.
I hope this information give you a possibility to establish connection.
Write to me or to support@mikrotik.com directly. Not buy next devices :).
Good Luck and give feedback.
