Hi,
Im running bpi r4 with 5g modem. Using latest openwrt update but apparently theres no modem section in the page. Is there anything i can do to interact with modem and changing LTE's? Like installing specific pkgs?
Correct...

yes. you need drivers. if your modem acts as a USB ethernet device (like when you connect your phone in USB tethering mode) try installing kmod-usb-net-rndis and see if your modem is seen as a device in LuCi -> Network -> Interfaces -> Devices.

better yet, post or search the forum for the specific modem, it's very unlikely you're the 1st person asking about it...

Running x75 quectel m.2 , i want to interact with modem through LuCi not terminal
If your modem works and you only want to see detailed information in Luci, then see https://github.com/4IceG/luci-app-3ginfo-lite
https://github.com/4IceG/luci-app-modemband
etc.
Otherwise show the output of cat /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices

ok. thats not a USB modem. It's a Qualcomm X75 PCIe 5G modem. an interesting one since it runs OpenWrt inside itself.
Install pciutils. and run lspci and ifconfig and post their outputs here.
im really sorry. Here, modem is qualcom x75 quectel rm551-gl m.2 pcie 5g
Yes, exactly, m2-pcie usb 3.0 controller and 5g modem on same pcb.
qmi is easiest unless you have unstable 4g or 5g that d*scomnnects and replaces ip address often.

Skip the quotes, it makes the command fail, as you can see...
Post all output as text, instead of screen dumps, use the </> button when you do.
