wAP LTE KIT - not connecting to GSM network

Hardware MikroTik hardware general
1

Hi

I bought wAP LTE KIT, and I want to use it as home router with LTE/GSM as source of internet. Unfortunately I can’t connect to LTE/GSM network (but I can see them on scanner).

I set MT with Quick Set. My config is:


[admin@MikroTik] > export file=

Please, help me solve this problem :frowning:

Good evening,
I have got the same issue with 6.40.5 stable and I’ve asked to support for help.
Now with 6.41 everything should work, even if you’re using custom APN and login that are not directly provided by your mobile carrier.
Things you have to do are:

  1. Upgrade wAP to 6.41 stable
  2. Upgrade firmware under System > Routerboard to the latest version.

I don’t know if the latest RB version includes the new LTE firmware, I’m still waiting for new wAPs to try on, but if this doesn’t solve the problem write to Mikrotik support and ask for the guide to upgrade LTE firmware.
I can send it to you, but I don’t now if I’m allowed to, maybe it was a beta firmware.
I’m also interested to know if there’s another way to upgrade LTE firmware without ATDT commands.

Is your Sim working fine on an another device?

4

Hello,

I have the same problem, could you please post info / file to upgrade the firmware of R11-LTE ?

Thanks a lot in advance

5

Has anyone successfully connected the RouterBOARD wAP R-2nD with the Mikrotik included R11e0LTE-US cellular interface card to a Verizon LTE network here in the US? if so, wereLTE card or Mikrotik ROS updates required?
SIM card was pulled from a working cellular interface from another operational device (Encore EN-400),
Verizon rep indicates that the device/interface card may have to go through an “Open Development Initiative” process - between Mikrotik (the manufacturer) and Verizon - before it is officially acceptable, but he also indicates that is probably not necessary to test operation if the sim card has already been registered with another acceptable cellular device on their network.

Thanks in advance.

6

What error message you see with the card when it tries to register to the network?

7

Uldis,

Sorry for any confusion.

We do have the wAP R-2nD LTE card communicating over the Verizon network. We used the device as delivered (ROS 40.4) but saw earlier comments about needing to update ROS and the LTE firmware. Perhaps this was to result in better reliability.

We were also told by our Verizon corporate rep that the Mikrotik unit was not “ODI certified by Verizon”. Is this something Mikrotik is currently pursuing? For now, it seems to be a non-issue. When registering our SIM card we selected another device that we have used in the past and know to be Verizon certified. Used that SIM for a short interval on the selected hardware to verify it was set up properly. Then installed the SIM in the wAP R-2nD LTE Kit. Not sure what the lack of certification will result in the future, but for now we are continuing to test prior to widespread installation.

If you still want a log file or configuration information, let me know.

8

LTE firmware upgrade is for the International version and not for the US version.
For now we would suggest to upgrade the RouterOS.

telepro, just ran across this thread. Verizon sims work in the US version but you have to add an APN for vzwinternet and select that in the interface. You can enable or disable the default route, you can setup a different routing table and send out the lte interface too so you can more easily configure redundancy without having to script out finding the gateway (if dynamically addressed)
