Hi
I want to connect mikrotik to 3G/LTE network.
How to do this using the usb stick as I know.
Can anyone had experience with mini-PCIe module?
For example - routerboard RB411U + HUAWEI LTE module
Will there be problems with the drivers? Maybe have already tested LTE modules.
Can I use the SIM slot on the mikrotik routerboard, or I need to buy modem with a built-in SIM slot

There are plenty of posts on these forums about the ME909u mPCIe modem - have a search.
You'll need to put the SIM onto the RouterBoard.

I found a topic - http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php ... ilit=me909

As I understand, it is best to use a Sierra MC7710

Thanks!
Unfortunately models RB411, RB912, RB922, RB953 have only one ethernet port.
I need 2 ethernet ports
first port WAN_cat5
second port LAN (to switch)
LTE modem - WAN_gms (backup)

USB modem does not fit, because I want to connect an external antenna

RB953 have 3 Ethernet ports http://routerboard.com/RB953GS-5HnT-RP

For RB922 http://routerboard.com/RB922UAGS-5HPacD you can put RJ45 sfp convertor http://routerboard.com/S-RJ01

also you can use any board with usb like RB951Ui and use this converter
