No LTE interface HUAWEI ME909s-120 In RB411UAHR

Thu Apr 06, 2017 9:17 pm

Hi all,

Looking for some help! Been using a Sierra Wireless MC7700 in my RB411UAHR, which is good for HSDPA in UK and up to LTE in North America, but no good for LTE in EMEA regions (need MC7710 for that which is not available any more).

So logically checked LTE list on Mikrotik wiki - oh good, the HUAWEI ME909s-120 is supported and available cheap from Latvia.

Plugged into PCIE slot - NOTHING!!
Code: Select all
 # DEVICE VENDOR                   NAME                   SPEED                  
 0 2:1    Linux 3.3.5 ohci_hcd     RB400 OHCI             12 Mbps                
 1 1:1    Linux 3.3.5 ehci_hcd     RB400 EHCI             480 Mbps
Tried changing Boot Delay to 5s as suggested elsewhere.

Running Version 6.38.5 (Stable), but also tried 6.39rc62 (Release candidate) with no luck.
Firmware version is 11.617.01.00.00

Was really hoping for plug and play as I am taking it to Cadiz for work this weekend and wanted full LTE speed to test as potential solution.

I do have a USB>PCIE adaptor, so I can use it on laptop fine.

Has anyone else had this issue?

Any ideas?

Just downgraded to v6.28 since that's what the Wiki says works - still nothing!

Hmm, dug out my old RB751G-2HnD
Code: Select all
 # DEVICE VENDOR                                                                             NAME                                                                           SPEED

Fires up right of the bat, chuck in DHCP client on LTE and I'm off. Using USB to PCI-E adaptor!

Seems as though the router marketed as ideal for using with LTE has an issue!
