New user, unable to connect to cell network

Just got a NEXR5GO router with a Quectel EM06A modem.
Router is set up and working good.
I'm using Visible for internet access. The APN is VSBLINTERNET.
The 4G light on the router is not lit and I can't connect to the internet.
I attached several snippets that may tell someone what I am missing.
Thanks You
Ken

Hello there.

Please don't post your modem IMEI or SIM card ICCID numbers. Malicious people could cause you problems with those numbers.


I believe the new Visible SIMs use:

Code: Select all

vzwinternet
...as the new APN. Change yours to that.

Also, disable the Quectel APN Auto Select feature:

Code: Select all

AT+QMBNCFG="autosel",0
and

Code: Select all

AT+QMBNCFG="deactivate"
The second one may error out, but as long as teh first one goes through you're good.

Then...

Code: Select all

AT+CFUN=1,1
..to reboot the modem.

I would also reset the router. Maybe even power cycle it.


Honestly it is likely that the modem IMEI will need to be the same as the phone you used to activate the SIM card with.


Also, make sure your TTL and HL are set to something like 65.
