Hi,
wanted to do some tests with LoRa, so bought LtAP LR8 LTE Kit. I first could not see a LoRa menu in Winbox, so downloaded extra packages. But even ten, LoRa devices section is just - empty, whereas in many videos, there is a disabled item. I opened the box and can see, there actually is the LTE and LoRa card too. I can see the LTE, but not the LoRa one.
Any tips?
Thanks a lot,

Couple of things to try:
Is the USB port set to "miniPCI"?
/system routerboard usb set mode=miniPCIe
Now I don't know the LoRa miniPCIe module requires USB 3.0, if so it have to on the "bottom" miniPCIe slot.
I tried the above command but console reply is: "expected end of command (line 1 column 29)"
So here's some output from the console:

Based upon the board-name, it almost seems like just an LTE board, but it has a LoRa gateway ID sticker on the rear side. Tried also to completly reset the device, to no avail ....
