4G internet is not working after upgrade to 22.03.2

Hello,
Trying to figure out why my internet is not working over 4g.
I am using Huwawei E3372 as CDC network device

[ 18.570644] cdc_ether 1-1:1.0 eth1: register 'cdc_ether' at usb-1b000000.usb-1, CDC Ethernet Device, 00:1e:10:1f:00:00

Interface configured as DHCP client:

config interface 'LTE'
        option proto 'dhcp'
        option device 'eth1'
        option auto '0'

Device:

firewall settings:

you should amend the title as it says " 4G internet is now working after upgrade to 22.03.2"

Thank you! Fixed

can you ping something on the internet like 1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8 or 9.9.9.9 ?

no:

Modem connection up?

Yes, I see IP assigned to device:

I haven't worked with e3372 but having a 192.168.8.x ip means LTE is up?
Could you check via some AT/telnet/curl command ?

I do believe if it get IP then it works. I don't know any command that can help me to diagnose LTE connection :frowning:

Google it up. Lots of pages with this


yes it is connected, checked via internal Web-browser of modem

well you could try and check if the modem's service works in a computer plugged directly in usb

The reason was in SIM card. Don't know what happened but it stopped to receive IPv4 WAN address. I tried different SIM card of the same provider and everything works now. Going to replace bad SIM card. Closing the topic, thank you all for helping.

2nd SIM has same result :frowning: Tried this on Windows PC without any luck. So obviously openwrt has noting to do with it.

192.xxx is the LAN side.

You could have DHCP on the LAN and no WAN IP.

Start with the basics. Bring up your WAN and troubleshoot from there.

Possible problems:

  1. Modem may still not be connected. On 192.168.8.1 there may be some diagnostics like ping, dns test (on 192.168.8.1). Test 8.8.8.8 from there.

  2. Sim card cannot be used in modem (restricted by mobile provider). Some operators block internet access by modem's IMEI and/or TTL. Check sim card in cell phone.

  3. Sim card is in roaming, but roaming is not enabled.

192.168.8.1 is IP of modem interface.

Replaced the SIM card and it is solved the problem
