This page has very old models, https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Peripherals I am almost sure that all quectel modems are ros compatible, but they are very expensive, have bugs and quectel support is very bad.
On the other hand, there are cheap modems like fibocomm , telit , dell etc that could replace them; anyone who has tested modems, or knows where to find a compatibility list could report it in this post and it would be a great help.
Re: Which m2 lte/5G modems are RoS compatible?
I have only used Mikrotik branded modems, either R11E-LTE-US or R11E-LTE6. Both have worked really well for me.
New docs page has a list as well, I haven’t compared it to the list on the wiki but it might have some updated entries.

The new docs page isn’t complete yet, but it’s worth checking alongside the wiki for information. https://help.mikrotik.com/docs

Re: Which m2 lte/5G modems are RoS compatible?
thanks deadkat,
i found other interesting models.
I think that the problem of many unsupported modules is that of limited space in ros, but you could create versions with only sierra drivers or only quectel or only telit to make them compatible with any hardware.

Re: Which m2 lte/5G modems are RoS compatible?
Telit, Quectel, some Sierra.
Quectel is most supported becase MikroTik go into SoC from them.
Better is found what wersion of m.2 card you are interested and then search them in forum.

Re: Which m2 lte/5G modems are RoS compatible?
I would be interested in these two modems simcomm SIM8200EA-M2 (290€) and especially foxconn T99W175 (189€) .
I have written to retailers but they can't tell me if they are compatible with Ros and quectel 5G modules have crazy prices!

Re: Which m2 lte/5G modems are RoS compatible?
simcomm maybe will be work or can be added to ROS.I would be interested in these two modems simcomm SIM8200EA-M2 (290€) and especially foxconn T99W175 (189€) .
foxcomm we try and they cannot share manuals etc... we not use them until all documentation and win drivers will be provided before.
AliExpress or buy directly in USA (Quectel in USA have better price then AliE).I have written to retailers but they can't tell me if they are compatible with Ros and quectel 5G modules have crazy prices!
Re: Which m2 lte/5G modems are RoS compatible?

Re: Which m2 lte/5G modems are RoS compatible?
but in the LHG LTE18 there is a very good quectel EG18 , which works perfectly with ros7. Why do you want to change it? you would lose in performance , automatic firmware update and manufacturer warranty.

- t99w175 works only in PCI mode so it is unsuitable to be mounted on routerboards.
- Keep the LHG lte18 with its original module from ros7 you can directly update the modem firmware.
- The performance of lte18 is amazing ,then with a 5G modem you should add another 2/4 auxiliary antennas is not easy.

Re: Which m2 lte/5G modems are RoS compatible?
To be fair, i have to make it clear that I don’t own the CAT18 LHGG but the CAT6 so i could use some upgrade here.

It seems odd that the T99W175 wouldn’t work as the DW5821e is listed on the supported modems and it’s very similar to the one I am talking about.
I don’t mind about the 2 more antennas it needs to work, it’s an easy modification for me.
However if you’re 100% sure this modem doesn’t support the usb protocol I won’t event try it. I’ve seen some sellers listing it as supported by MBIM via USB. So I don’t know what to believe anymore.
Re: Which m2 lte/5G modems are RoS compatible?
I was also interested in the modem t99w175 but after several searches , I had found information that it must be unlocked and that it does not work with the usb mode.
https://www.rework.network/products/t99 ... vo-flex-5g
Should try it costs 70 euros on aliexpress ; it has a snapdragonx55 chip that I already have on EM160 really powerful .

Re: Which m2 lte/5G modems are RoS compatible?
I have it 6 months now on openwrt in a thin client and it works perfectly. I also use it with an xpol antenna however I would like to get another one to upgrade my LHGG as it’s painfully slow. We have N78 here and it’s definitely worth it.I was also interested in the modem t99w175 but after several searches , I had found information that it must be unlocked and that it does not work with the usb mode.

I guess then my only options are some Quectel modems
Re: Which m2 lte/5G modems are RoS compatible?
@xristostsilis,
you could try with a M11G routerboard (30€) to put the tw99w175 modem the adapter and the 4 pcb antennas

How long have you been using it , does it respond to all AT commands?

Please make it clear that you made it work with the T99W175 as you quoted many messages and it’s not clear to me
Re: Which m2 lte/5G modems are RoS compatible?
I read somewhere that someone managed to unlock the Lenovo computer version.
