After a few months, here is my feedback… There are, at least, two issues: First: When using Illiad provider (named "Free" in France) default APN is IPv4. Every 12 or 24 hours DHCP is renewed and the Zyxel seems to get lost. LTE is ok, but Internet cannot establish new TCP connection due to this IP address issue. Moreover,…

v1.0.3: fixes to handle several situations like wwan0 interface missing, connection Down… Remember to adapt thresholds depending on whether you have enabled IPv6 or not, because there is much less data received in pure IPv4 with a non-routable address, and of course to modify your IPv4 address and SSH passsword. The script…

You may try cfg time edit ? to get setting options (the question mark will show available ones). On LTE5398 I cannot see any manual mode available, but many features are missing on LTE firmware, so you can give it a try for your NR7101.

TBH, saving in the "rom-d" is a workaround but the Zyxel shouldn't loose your settings when you restart: in my very own opinion there is someting wrong with the hardware, and I would personnaly consider asking for a RMA.

Just to mention, I'm with Iliad France "Free" and had the problem in the Alps mountains (twice a day in pure IPv4, every 2 or 3 days with mixed IPv4 + IPv6). Now that I'm back in Paris, it's in pure IPv4 mode and has been working stably for 3 days. And the signal SNR is much better here: I wonder if the bug is related to…

Well, no. Tested today on an "old" Windows 7: I can see logs with Edge, however Firefox gets a message box "Warning - It is impossible to retrieve the information now. Please try again". 😀

I've tested today with a VM, and aparently "expect" package can be installed on pfSense without other dependency (of course you must enable Freebsd packages). It sounds a reasonnable risk to add this single unofficial package, at least it won't require a thousand other packages to be installed on the firewall. Of course,…

Hi, As reported a few days ago, sys atcr reboot will revert to default "saved" settings, and those settings are saved in "rom-d" whatever it is: by default these are factory settingszycli save_default save will save your current configuration into "rom-d", and at this time you can now use sys atcr reboot to reboot the…

Just to let you know: on MacOS, firmware update doesn't work with Safari, but is ok with Firefox. Viewing logs is the opposite: no log available with Firefox, and no problem with Safari. So it's worth trying really different browsers when something isn't working with Zyxel GUI. My 2 cents.

v1.0.1: script updated to handle low SNR and use RX vs. TX for detection 😂

Please check the post there: (script is for both LTE5388-M804 and LTE5398-M904) @Rabarbaro FYI I'm with Iliad too ("Free" in France)

Here comes the watchdog, please keep in mind: ⚠️ Save your configuration with zycli save_default save otherwise it will reset to default settings!Rename the file zyxel.exp and modify the IP address (and port if needed) and password of your deviceRun with expect zyxel.exp password, or only expect zyxel.exp if you set your…

@BruCom @RobTheNetworkGuy @Rabarbaro A few news: sys resetcm is interesting as it restarts the LTE module, you might try it next time you face the issuecfg cellwan_mapn edit --Index 1 is the fastest way to refresh the LTE connection, it's interesting if it's getting slow for example but won't fix the connection issueAfter…

Thank you for sharing this. I've been working on a way to "crontab" from pfSense using ZySH. Unfortunaly neither sshpass and expect are available in pfSense standard packages.
