Mikrotik RBM11G (updated to Router OS 7.1)
Quectel RM502Q-AE (firmware version RM502QAEAAR11A02M4G) (Not sure if latest version)
This Antenna: https://www.waveform.com/products/mimo- ... ts-routers
T-Mobile Sim Card
So, I turn it on. I connect my PC directly to it. I update to Router OS7.1 and change the APN to "Fast.t-mobile.com". It lists T-Mobile and shows antenna signal quality. I look at the interfaces, set WAN to lte1 and LAN to ether1. No internet yet. I messed around a bunch and tried various bits I found in the Mikrotik docs and the forum, much of which is outdated (ppp instead of lte). No progress. Decided to do a fresh Netinstall. Took hours for me to finally get that to work. Anyway, here I am, a day and half later with no working modem, some knowledge gained about the finicky Netinstall and re-familiarizing myself with RouterOS (I messed around with a Mikrotik router several years ago).
Here is my export at the moment:
