[Solved] My LTE does not work? - Stupid user error šŸ˜Š

Turris Omnia
1

Tried to get LTE running on my omnia, but it seems like I have problem with that.

Everything seems to be configured as in tutorial, still my PCI1 LED stays dead and I cannot seem to be able to connect.

LTE interface itself shows some traffic, but nothing is reachable via it.
Also obviosly I did got IP address from ISP.

After reboot LTE Interface itself refuses to come up, so not sure whats the problem.
Need to investigate moreā€¦

Any ideas?

OK, it finally connected, but stillā€¦no connectivity, even ping to ISP gateway or DNS servers fails from Omnia itself.

For the LED light up in go in LuCI to "System - LED Configuration"
and set the omnia-led:pci1 to
either usbdev 1-1 (Quectel LTE Module)
or netdev 3g-(name-of-your-connection).

5

Yeah, that LED part I figured out alreadyā€¦ (wrong netdev problemā€¦)

Still trying to understand, why I donā€™t seem to have any conenctivity, despite the fact that interface is up and has an IPā€¦

6

Possibly an ISP issue? Often times ISP only allow certain MAC address to connect to their network, you might want to check that you are using a ā€˜registeredā€™ device that they have allowed on their network?

7

Hmm, Interesting theoryā€¦but I have never heard any Cellular providers locking down MAC adresses.
Also my third party cell phone (not bought from ISP) works fine.

Fun fact, I am using modem from LTE perk, so no way provider has its MAC or IMEI (same aplies to my phone).

8

But the sim card must be registered or allowed in order to connect to their network. You are using a registered SIM card?

9

It is prepaid card (bought for testing) so it is registered to their network, without that I would not even been able to connect and get an IP.
And same SIM card works fine in my phone for LTE, so I would rule that part out.

Heheā€¦figured it out, thx Softcoderā€¦

My prepaid card obviously had run out of cash, a little ā€œtop upā€ via Internet banking, solved ā€œnot passing any trafficā€ problemā€¦ :smiley: :smiley:

As I donā€™t use this card often (I do have contract SIMā€™s for daily usage) and use it only for testing equipmentā€¦
I never thought about thisā€¦ :blush:
