I have just bought the GL-M2 5G Dev Board with the intention to use the FLINT Router (running firmware 4.6.8) via mobile data as internet source as backup.
I have not been successful in doing so.
I have 2 laptops with 4G Modems and took them out. I don't have a 5G modem atm.
Situation:
using the M2 modem Fibocom L850-GL - the admin page says: Incompatible Modem
with the SIM inside it is stuck to Connecting.....bla bla. If I use the Automatic config, it tries to connect but eventually fails. Tried most of the manual configurations (QMI etc with various APNs , no success). However if I try the commands to get IMEI etc, they seem to work. I can also see in the dropdown some APNs that are relevant to the operator sim.
using the M2 modem Sierra airprime em9191 - it doesn;t even detect a thing. Under cellular it sais that no modem device is found.
Can anyone give me a hand with this? I've spent some hours trying to figure it out myself but clearly I have failed.
Thank you in advance
they work just fine directly via M2, as I plugged them out from the laptops themselves.
they appear in the device manager also, while having them through the M2 board.
I mean I have to install the drivers of course, but they do pop-up as new detected devices
thank you very much for the article.
I have managed to install the app and packages on the Flint router openwrt.
However it seems that I still cannot find the modem which is plugged into the Dev board and via USB cable to the router.
I have inserted a sim as well.
In the GL Inet gui, I still see Incompatible modem error in orange. However if i try Manual AT commands, I can get the IMEI, Signal strength etc from the SIM using the port /dev/tty/ACM0 and ACM2; sending commands to /dev/tty/ACM1 don't return anything.
Following the above provided article installations, I can now see under LUCI web portal the page:
which one should it be? I tried with all, also with Modems but nothing seems to change... as I said the M2 modem is in the dev board, which is plugged via usb cable to the router
Maybe I am missing something? the drivers didn't install, or are not present? How could I check that, if this would be the problem?
many thanks again for taking the time on checking on my issues...the support said just buy an accepted modem...but that's why I bought the dev board for, to use some M2 modem that I have, then found it it was a list of "accepted" modems...
P.S. I have selected from the Tempates tab the following and saved, which I believe is the correct one
these are the logs when trying again manual configuration...in the GL INET gui:
