Continuing the discussion from Fibocom FM350-GL Support:
Good afternoon!
Could you please help with the advice? I can't get Fibocom FM-350-GL modem to work on OpenWrt 23.05.5 r24106-10cc5fcd00 on the GL.iNet GL-MT3000 router. The modem is in a Vertell VT-Station-M2 enclosure.
At the same time, this same enclosure works perfectly when plugged into the USB port of a Keenetic router — the modem works, the internet is accessible, and LTE metrics are displayed. It also works if directly connected to a USB-C port on a Windows computer, and using the fibocom connect script everything launches just fine.
However, I can't get the enclosure to work on OpenWrt. On the "Information about 3G/4G/5G connection" page, I see the following error:
There is a problem reading data from the modem.
Please check:
1. Modem availability in the system.
2. The correct installation of the SIM card in the modem.
3. Port for communication with the modem.
On the diagnostics tab, I see the following:

I suspect the issue might be that I don't understand where or how to specify the APN in the configuration. Could it be related to this?
I also try to set it up as follows, but it’s still not working:
root@OpenWrt:~# COMMAND='AT+CGDCONT=1,"IPV4V6","internet.mts.ru"' gcom -d "/dev/ttyUSB3"
