modem R11e-LTE & band setup

Mon Feb 14, 2022 9:54 pm

Hi,

I wonder how to UNSET band for the modem R11e-LTE.

before enforcing band via
set 0 band=X
I could see multiple bands while running cell-monitor.

after enforcing specific band I can see only single band in cell-monitor. This is not changing when I do
unset 0 band
any idea how to reset band setup for the modem?

After unset 0 band, try to power-cycle the modem using /system routerboard usb power-cycle bus=0 duration=10s.

I've just tested that on an actual R11e-LTE (before, I was testing using R11e-LTE6) - I've ran cell monitor first to see what is around, then set band only to the bands shown. It took a while before the info started showing full functionality, and then cell monitor was showing only a single channel in one of the two bands I've permitted (before, there were 4 channels in 2 bands in total).
Next, I've used /interface lte set 0 band="" (the effect should be the same like /interface lte unset 0 band), the modem was again down for quite a while, and once it got up again, I can see 6 carriers in 3 bands in total.
So maybe everything works as it should in your case, but the signal is weak in the other bands? What is the modem firmware version and RouterOS version in your case?

Hi,

I have checked again today and cell-monitor shows more than one band :) sindy - your advice with power-cycle helped.

I think the issue was related to short time I gave my modem to scan the network. After longer period it showed multiple bands and is automatically selecting other than initially bound to.
