Chateau LTE12 LTE --- connect failed

Sat Jul 04, 2020 3:28 pm

Hi.

I'm new to MikroTik. I recently got a Chateau LTE12. I am unable to get the LTE modem to connect. I tried 3 different SIMs, 2 roaming, 1 local. They all work without any problems on my phone.

Some possible problems, which might be quick to rule out:
- APN settings (I have tried duplicating what works on my phone, however I am not sure it's 100%)
- The modem firmware needs an upgrade (How to FOTA without a working internet connection?)

Here are the steps to reproduce (from factory settings):
- Insert SIM + power on device
- (only for the roaming SIMs) Change "Allow Roaming" setting to yes
- get "--connect failed" error

- configure default APN: apn=internet.digimobil.es (or as appropriate for the sim)
- get "--connect failed" error

- upgrade to RouterOS 7.0beta8
- get "--connect failed" error

I saw this thread: viewtopic.php?t=161442, but I couldn't get to anything conclusive / actionable for my case.

Here is some more info about my setup:

you work at 3g, not LTE now.
Enable only lte.
Not select any specific bands, means use all bands.
Allow roaming - you enable that possibility but you not use they, you not do a scan and select the "set operator=" what use roaming, means this still not work.

Thanks @SiB

I tried again, with only LTE and bands 3,7,20 turned on. Roaming turned off, and a local SIM (MEO Portugal). I still get the same "--- connect failed" error.

This is using RouterOS 7.0beta8. Factory installed was beta6, do you think it's worth trying a downgrade to beta6?

you can enable logs ?
/system logging add topics=lte

-------
Try upgrade modem firmware to EG12EAPAR01A06M4G via other Internet from wlan or ethernet.
Hmm, maybe you can connect via winbox by MAC. Disable DHCP-Server. Add/Enable dhcp-client at ether1 and connect him to any other internet?

I have not had time to confirm this, but your issue may be result of EG12-EA not passing correct APN to provider, even though it is correctly setup in ROS7 beta8

Try setting APN directly on modem via AT command AT+CGDCONT.

I think this is solve in beta9, but Remember about:
[admin@MikroTik] > interface/lte apn/set use-network-apn=
no yes

PS. We should speak about your routing ? ;)

Thank you
