[Solved] LTE5398-M904 does not connect using a Vodafone Italy SIM

BruCom

Greetings to the community

Usually I use an Iliad SIM in the above modem/router.
Today I wanted trying a Vodafone SIM, usually used by my iPad.
Surprise surprise, does not work in the Zyxel.
The SIM is recognized but there is no 4G connection.
I tryed both, auto and manual APN configuration with no success.

By the way, I already found this article and manually set the APN with IP V4….

Enable":true
"APN":"web.omnitel.it"
"Interface":"Cellular.Interface.1"
"X_ZYXEL_ManualAPN":true
"X_ZYXEL_AuthenticationType":"None"
"X_ZYXEL_PDP_Type":"IPv4"
"Alias":""
"Username":""
"Password":""
"Proxy":""
"ProxyPort":0
"X_ZYXEL_Name":""
"X_ZYXEL_BridgeMode":false
"X_ZYXEL_MTU":0

Attached below the 2 log for auto and manual APN configuration.

Thank you to anyone can help and provide a solution.

I solved the problem.

For some reasons seems that with this SIM and/or provider a manual PLMN selection is required. 😕
