I just got a SXT LTE6 (SXTR&FG621-EA) to connect a remote site to the Internet. I inserted a Telekom SIM, contected it with ethernet to my PC and switched it on.
Instant success. I opened the Website 192.168.188.1 and changed the password. LTE had a good connection. Then I started a firmware update. The SXT rebooted and I could connect to the Website again.
Unfortunately I had no internet connection more. Check for firmware updates failed.
Signal looks good on LTE, Pin is not necessary.
Adding a DNS Server did not help either. I used the APN internet and internet.telekom. The PC still connects on ethernet 1 to 192.168.188.1 but not further.
Hello,
I’am still trying to find my problem. I included the config below.
There is an IPv6 adress on the lte interface, not on the IPv4
The log shows that there is a DNS provided via lte:
It seems to me, lte is IPv6 only ? Any ideas?
thank you for your answer. I tryed it an it did not help. Still no Internet connection, even the internal-update does not work.
After I reactivated IPv6 I tryed to set the DNS to a IPv6, did not help either.
thank you very much. “use-network-apn=no” did the trick. Now I have good connection and Internet is working.
I use the APN internet.telekom for my prepaid Telekom SIM
I wonder why in the late what? 4 years or so , no Mikrotik developer thought to add a check-box for “use-network-apn” on the main Quick Set page (the one you posted screenshots of), given that the default is “yes” and this makes the manually entered apn not used (without any sign that it is not used, at the very least the textbox font colour should be gray and NOT black, like it was enabled).
Yet another sign of what I would call poor attention towards customer common problems, particularly for new users.
Maybe it is item #3147 in their low-priority to-do list.
Even better and less confusing will be that use-network-apn config doesn’t even exists, if apn is set then it will be used, if not, network provided one will be used.
Yep, even better if there was a drop down list with an item “Automatic ISP APN” (or similar) fixed/not removable to which you can add your APN and then you are free to select either.
In CLI, an “auto” option could be added to
/interface lte apn
add apn=auto
That would allow the complete removal of use-network-apn.
It is more or less the same (IMHO illogical) logic behind the way you have to configure the auto-mac on bridge:
admin-mac (MAC address; Default: none) Static MAC address of the bridge. This property only has effect when auto-mac is set to no.
…
auto-mac (yes | no; Default: yes) Automatically select one MAC address of bridge ports as a bridge MAC address.
they could get rid of auto-mac adding a admin-mac=auto option.
Or they could at least rename the setting to use-network-apn-and-disable-the-one-you-typed-in
I was thinking in a way how DNS Server has, there are config properties servers and dynamic-servers (read only), when servers is not set, dynamic-servers is used. But this with auto value is not bad idea (unless some MNO wants to name his apn to auto). There are ways how to make it simple because this current way of setup is confusing at least.
