I just bought my GL-X750 V2 Router from amazon the other day with high hopes for it, as it was said to be an “AT&T Verified Router”. With the AT&T SIM card installed today, the router is locked in 3G with a “NOCONN” state, not sure what to do about this anymore.
I have already taken the following actions:
Upgrade firmware to 3.203, latest fix for recent AT&T problem listed in this GL-Inet Forum Post.
Try different APN’s, such as broadband, phone, etc.
My current AT&T Plan is a tablet plan, has there been any need to specifically use a prepaid SIM?
Maybe the tablet plan SIM locks some IMEI. X750V2 is identified as IOT devices, not tablet.
This could be the case. Our previous router, the RUT240, seems to have worked fine on this same plan, but I’m not sure if it’s registered with AT&T as an IoT device.
I did try all of those settings just now with no luck. I should add that when I tried locking the router to only 4G, the “3G” symbol went away, and the SIM went to an “unregistered” state again. When in 3G though, the connection state is NOCONN
What’s the likelihood this is caused by having the wrong data plan?
NOCONN is a normal state that indicates that the network has been registered. In LTE mode, you can try different APNs first.
Also, can the information returned by Cells INFO be shared?
I tried locking the router into 4G Mode, and all Cells Info disappeared, with no neighbourcell or servingcell info available at all. At this point, the SIM card was also no longer registered.
I would like to add two things as a point of focus:
I’m running the 15GB Tablet Unlimited plan, which essentially is 15GB of tablet hotspot data with infinite data use by the tablet, however the actual device ends up using the unlimited data as the modem itself is the “tablet”.
After checking with ATT, the device’s IMEI was flipped to a Samsung IMEI automatically once this SIM was installed.
Some other things to mention: I tried this same SIM card (even after it was attemptedly fixed by ATT) on an RUT240 router with the same result, essentially being stuck in registered 3G with no connection allowed. I constantly monitored the SIM status immediately upon installation of the card, and here’s how things went:
The SIM would initialize in 4G LTE with good signal strength, unregistered and no connection yet. This would last for about 3 seconds.
The SIM would immediately flip to 3G signal, and be denied even the Operator. Lasts about 10 seconds or so.
The SIM would register in the 3G network but remain in a NOCONN state (Disconnected), and stay here indefinitely.
Here’s some more info regarding diagnostics with RUT240’s
