Hello,
Thanks for the troubleshooting. Yes, now GL.Inet GUI properly detects the modem, so at least this problem has been fixed.
Please two more things to consider:
a) it would be extremely useful if the edit field “AT Command” could preserve the list of the previously entered AT commands(at least during the current session);
b) it would be even better if the user could add this own modem specific AT commands to the dropdown list stored in “Shortcut” field since the same commands will be entered again and again;
The reason why entering AT modem specific commands is important is pretty simple - nowadays just connecting the modem to a cell tower is NOT ENOUGH. In case of EM160R and other modern modems users will want to choose the band / group of bands (by specifying what bands to connect), enable certain types of aggregations (by specifying what bands to include in aggregation), lock the modem to a certain cell and so on. All these steps are essential in getting a robust and fast cellular connection, contrarily to autoamtic connect the the most utilized band in the area and therefore being providing the lowest speed and highest latency.
I am resetting the router and will wait for the next firmware that it supposed to provide all users of EM160R-GL LTE modem with the aforementioned fix.
PS: I asked the question, did not get any answer and therefore will answer myself - the name of WWAN interface which is used by GL-Inet GUI and mwan3 is ‘modem-2-1’ where 2-1 is the
qmi_wwan 2-1:1.4: cdc-wdm0: USB WDM device
