21.7 Legacy Series / LTE Failover with Internal mPCIE Modem Module
« on: October 26, 2021, 12:32:31 am »
Hello, I'm still reading up on and troubleshooting out the issue, but I'm struggling with perhaps some of the basics behind an mPCIE modem and PPP.
For starters all the carrier documentation, just says to use their APN and then enable roaming. Which on a Netgear LM1200, that works as expected. However when I follow the opnsense documentation:
https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/cellular.html
Everything seems great up until actually enabling it and checking the logs (see attached).
One thing I've noticed is articles where people are talking about how PPP isn't capable of 4G speeds, and that has me wondering if there's some basics here I'm by chance missing. The carrier doesn't have username/password options, they simply send out a SIM, and tell you to enable roaming and use their APN.
Any help, or points in the right direction would be great. Thanks!
