we are using R11e-LTE on RB953GS-5HnT-RP on 100+ units, and several units exhibit reliability issues:
* R11e-LTE not recognized by ROS sistematically
* R11e-LTE not recognized by ROS on warm reboot, but works after cold reboot
* R11e-LTE not recognized by ROS on warm reboot, but works after cold reboot with power off for a long time (~1h)
* R11e-LTE recognized by ROS at boot, but when it connects to the 4G network the interface lte1 disappears from ROS
* R11e-LTE recognized by ROS at boot, operates normally for several days, then the interface lte1 disappears from ROS, is not recognized after repeated warm reboots. a cold reboot fixes the issue
* R11e-LTE recognized by ROS at boot, operates normally for several days, then the interface lte1 disappears from ROS, is not recognized after repeated warm reboots. a cold reboot with power off for 1h does not fix the issue. then the interface reappears after days of trying with warm reboots.
issues seem to be dependent on the specific combination of R11e-LTE + RB953GS-5HnT-RP + SIM card/network operator, changing one element sometimes change the behavior
we're using routeros 6.45.5 and MikroTik_CP_2.160.000_v012 firmware on the R11e-LTE
Mikrotik support suggested setting
Code: Select all
/system routerboard settings set boot-delay=9s init-delay=9s
anybody is having similar issues? any suggestions?
can you suggest a LTE card that works well on RB953GS-5HnT-RP (tested on ~100 units) and is not EOL?
thank you
