wAP LTE kit: 4G internet does not work

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hi

I just bought wAP LTE kit (EU version) and cannot get LTE internet working. WiFi works just fine. I provided PIN code for the SIM card, I provided APN. I see that wAP is getting LTE signal and IP address has been assigned by carrier. And that’s it, when I connect to WiFi with laptop it says connected but no Internet connectivity. I tried all possible combinations regarding Band settings and Mobile network settings. I have another LTE router by Huawei and it works without any issues (LTE Band 3, 1800MHz). I ticked all bands, did not work. I unticked all bands, did not work. I ticked only LTE network and band 3, did not work. I disabled FW, did not work. I am out of ideas.

I feel like there are some additional settings which I missed but I just cannot find any obvious misconfiguration and documentation is next to non-existing regarding LTE configuration.

Any ideas?

the fact you get an IP address from carrier means you are connected. do you have correct route and nat rule set up for using the LET as you WAN?

Thanks

I will check those settings. Do you know how exactly should I configure them?

to add route, your DHCP client for LTE interface might have an option to Add Default Route, enable this then a route will be created dynamically as the DHCP client gets an address.
alternatively to create a static IP:

add dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 distance=1 gateway=your-gatewayIP

for NAT rule

add action=masquerade chain=srcnat out-interface=your-LTE-Interface

Thanks, it is working now. Although I am surprised how slow it is!! I have also Huawei E5186 which has weaker internal antenna than wAP LTE but with Huawei signal is much better and LTE download speed is literally 10x better!! I updated to latest RouterOS version but that did not change anything.

hi guys,

I’m having same issue and I’m such a noob, I don’t know how to get into the dhcp settings. Is there a set up guide for this somewhere?

Cheers!
