Chateau LTE6-EU - 3G/LTE Issues

Fri Jul 14, 2023 11:36 am

Hi all,

First steps into Mikrotik have been time consuming. Bought an Chateau LTE6-EU with external antennes to use in Belgium with provider Orange with data SIM only. Mainly for Internet backup.
Initial setup went fine, SIM installed, reception, got an IP address but no Internet access. The same SIM card in iPhone works just fine on 3G/LTE.

I then started testing on 3G and LTE individually. Here's where I am today:
- Only 3G: Disable "Use Network APN" + Manually setting the APN to "mworld.be" : service connected, receives IP address and a working Internet connection (Log file 3G Manually APN.txt)
- Only 3G: Enable "Use Network APN" : service connected, receives IP address and a working Internet connection
- Only LTE: Disable "Use Network APN" + Manually setting the APN to "mworld.be" : service connection failure. No IP address. (Log file LTE Manually APN.txt)
- Only LTE: Enable "Use Network APN" : service connected, receives IP address but no Internet access (ping 8.8.8.8 timeout) (Log file LTE Use Network APN.txt)

I was about to call the provider Orange to check why I cannot connect on LTE but I'm surprised at why manually setting the APN on using LTE results in a service connection failure. I would expect this would result in a service connection, receives IP address but no Internet access (ping 8.8.8.8 timeout) - same behaviour as "Use Network APN". This puts me off in the theory that the provider is the issue.

Can anyone point me in the right direction on getting the same behaviour when manually setting the APN?

How can I check the network provided APN on the SIM? I thought with command /interface lte at-chat lte1 input="AT+CGDCONT\?" but this gives me the manually set one, even when applying "Use Network APN". In the logs I only see this:
 09:15:08 lte,debug lte1 mbim: apn: [network provided] iptype: 0
 09:15:08 lte,debug lte1 mbim: <<< S service: connect, command: connect

I would create a new APN, do not experiment with the default.

this helped me
# change APN-NAME to your APN that your provider gives you
/interface lte set lte1 modem-init="AT+CGDCONT=0,\"IPV4V6\",\”APN-NAME\";AT+CGDCONT=1,\"IPV4V6\",\”APN-NAME\""
/system reboot

Hello,

Were you able to solve this? I have exactly the same issue today. No RX traffic when using LTE, but 3G works. Also Orange with second data card.

Please:
check modem operation with main SIM card with APN profile setup manually
Also Orange with second data card
if with main SIM card are OK, ask provider does it its intended to be used in FWA (Fixed Wireless Access) device
if where are no restriction or issue with both sim cards, please:
  • enable extended LTE logging:
/system logging action remove [find name=support]
/system logging action add name=support target=memory memory-lines=16383
/system logging add action=support topics=lte
  • reboot device
  • wait 1-2 minutes
  • create Supout.rif file and create support ticket with reference to this thread
This article explains how to make a Supout.rif file:

Exact thing is actually happening to me. But this is almost 2 years apart, so it means this problem still exists?
