Hi,

Can anybody tell, that above mentioned modem is working with opnsense 18.1?

We have following error message in the connection:

Jun 12 11:08:47   ppp: [opt2_link0] LCP: Down event
Jun 12 11:08:47   ppp: [opt2_link0] Link: DOWN event

Jun 12 11:08:47   ppp: [opt2_link0] CHAT: +CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet"

What could it be? Maybe 4G is not working?

Any confirmation or something, that would help us would be great!

Our settings for salt are correct. The sim-card is working on a phone with "internet" as entry point for apn.

Kind regards
Don

Hi,

pcengines told me the solution: You need an antenna for a good connection! Because sometimes it worked (with 3G), I was really surprised about the failure. But it is clear! Sorry for this topic.

What a stupid failure of mine!

Kind regards
