[saltanar]

I can’t save a custom apn , i need everytime time i shutdown the router to send custom apn with at commands, there is way to save them? The settings are already correctly saved on WAN settings.

Hi @saltanar

I do it like this:

1. I set apn in LuCI
2. If the modem does not connect to the Internet, I set the APN with the at command
3. Reboot the modem with the at command.

After these operations, my modem has no problems with the connection and remembers the set apn.

The problem is that my modem don’t save apn

How do you set the apn? tell me step by step what you do. Have you also checked other SIM cards and other APNs?

I followed your guide, i set the apn on qmi connection, after i send the at command with the apn, after tha i reboot the modem. If i shutdown the router i had to do again the procedure.

Check if apn is correct (same for QMI and at command). Try another SIM card (and APN).

It's hard for me to predict what could be wrong, I've never had such a case.

The procedure has always worked, now I don't even have to force the apn with the at command, the modem immediately connects to the Internet after changing the apn in LuCI.

After some tries the router has saved the settings

another question, after some times the internet is disconnected and I have to manually restart the router. There is a a setting to auto check the internet connection and auto restart modem and or router ?

There is a package https://github.com/4IceG/luci-app-lite-watchdog, just need to do an update to the latest version.

The package allows you to resume the connection or do a restart of the router / modem.

In your zte firmware there is already this option. I enabled check every 10 minutes and restart router

That's right, this package is already in my build only in an older version, so I recommend updating package to the last released version.
