Re: LtAP, Verizon, Quectel EC-25AF no worky

So, I snagged an EP06-A. Definitely what I should have gotten in the first place. Put it in, the Mikrotik upgraded the firmware for me. Connected straight away and gives me *all* the stats. Curious if the beta will crash with this or not, but I gotta put this thing in its home so I'll have to let so...

Re: LtAP, Verizon, Quectel EC-25AF no worky

Mikrotik responded with basically "if the modem doesn't do it we can't report RSSI" but no indication that they looked at the dump and confirmed that it's missing. Seems kinda weird that anyone would implement MBIM without basic RSSI indication. It looks like the EP06 is a newer/better Cat...

Re: v7.17beta [testing] is released!

Just FYI, I upgraded from 7.16 to 17.17beta4 on my LtAP with Quectel EC25-AF modem. It boots up, activates the LTE interface and then crashes. Since that happens at boot, it was just crashlooping before I could really get in an do anything. Reset to defaults, which let me in and wouldn't crashloop b...

Re: LtAP, Verizon, Quectel EC-25AF no worky

Okay, so I reset to defaults with 7.17. After that it was stable _until_ I reconfigured all the LTE stuff and then it started crashlooping again (no RSSI before it crashed either). So, I reset to defaults, gave it a wired default gateway and had it reinstall 7.16, go back to 7.16 firmware, and then ...

Re: LtAP, Verizon, Quectel EC-25AF no worky

I filed the ticket with the supout from stable. Then I upgraded to the beta, and then installed the newer firmware. Now I'm in a crashing boot loop :( 2024-11-04 23:07:00 system,info router rebooted 2024-11-04 23:07:01 system,error,critical router rebooted because some critical program crashed 2024-...

Re: LtAP, Verizon, Quectel EC-25AF no worky

Sorry, what I meant by "both SIMs" was that neither Visible nor T-Mobile show RSSI (or any other of those signal-related stats). I've already got the logging enabled, so I'll get a fresh boot on T-Mobile and a couple minutes of logs and then submit, thanks. I'm also willing to try the next...

Re: LtAP, Verizon, Quectel EC-25AF no worky

Actually, it looks like I might already be on the latest rev (EC25AFFAR07A14M4G) according to some posts from July. So maybe it's too new :)

Re: LtAP, Verizon, Quectel EC-25AF no worky

Nope, no signal stats at all, even RSSI from either SIM. When I had the original modem I got lights on the outside, bar graph on the quick set page, and lots of (RSSI plus others) stats somewhere in the LTE interface page. Unless there's some other way to see it, I'm not getting anything. I don't re...

Re: LtAP, Verizon, Quectel EC-25AF no worky

In V7, Mikrotik use MBIM with their Quectel models, so I suspect that be best. But if T-Mobile is working...I'm not thinking it's MBIM vs ECM. So yeah switch the LTE modem back to mode=auto may be best plan. Also try lowercase "vzwinternet" and disable "Use Network APN". You may...

Re: LtAP, Verizon, Quectel EC-25AF no worky

Yeah, my SIMs are already active, so I figured having the Verizon-blessed Quectel model should be okay. I added the filter rule and it seems to be doing the same exact thing. Also zero packets hit that rule. I had already disabled cloud and neighbor discovery based on reading about this issue, so ma...

LtAP, Verizon, Quectel EC-25AF no worky

Hi all, I'm trying to get an LtAP configured to work in a vehicle for Verizon (well, Visible) LTE. The LtAP came with an FG621-EA modem in it, which I was disappointed to find out was not really for use in the US. So, some googling told me that the Quectel EC-25AF was "the" modem for use i...
