Quectel Cellular, QMI Cellular, ModemManager Protocols #2

Closed atan2005 closed 3 months ago

atan2005 commented 3 months ago

Describe the bug

I have to perform steps below for the modem to register and obtain ip address with my ISP (Optus and Telstra):-

  1. When initially checking the Modem - Details - 3ginfo-lite screen, all entries were blank.
  2. Under the Network - Interfaces - 5g, I have to first change from Protocol: Quectel Cellular to QMI Cellular, and check the 3ginfo-lite screen again, this time some entries appears as it has registered with my ISP, however the Connection statistics: Waiting for connection data... (picture highlighted in red).
  3. Repeating step 2 by reversing the Protocol: back to Quectel Cellular, this time Connection statistics is showing data!! I have left as APN: internet (for Optus) and telstra.internet (for Telstra), PDP Type: IPv4/IPv6 and remember to save and restart the interface during each step.
  4. If I reboot the modem, I need to repeat step 1 to 3 for internet connection, so something is broken here.
  5. Instead of step 4, if I add a protocol under Network Interfaces such as ModemManager in addition of existing Quectel Cellular interface, this setup will survive a reboot or power-off/on and will connect automatically upon boot. ModemManager interface will only display Error: Unknown error (NEGOTIATIONFAILED) (picture highlighted in red) but not causing any issue.
  6. If I only run the ModemManager interface on its own, it will register and connect to my ISP however with strange default gateway ip address of 10.64.64.64 (picture highlighted in red). The router can connect to internet resources, but NAT client pc cannot. The default gateway ip address (which may not exist) cannot be pinged from anywhere.

Also I have to change from your default Argon theme that was causing the "scrolling capture" screen issue to using either Bootstrap, BootstrapDark or BootstrapLight theme). Please see attached pictures of each scenarios.

Is it not enough just to do after some time of boot/reset /etc/init.d/network restart ? This is not possible , that each time you have to change protocol to QMI...

xhikarishii commented 3 months ago

@atan2005 can you show me the configuration tab of your 3ginfo lite? See if it's set to /dev/ttyUSB2 as the diag port. Also make sure that the interface is pointing towards wan

atan2005 commented 3 months ago

Under Modem - Information about 3G/4G/5G connection - Configuration tab, they were already set as Interface: wan and IP address / port for communication with the modem: /dev/ttyUSB2. This is the same under Modem - AT Commands - Configuration - Port for communication with the modem: /dev/ttyUSB2 for when testing various AT commands.

Screenshot 2024-07-26 at 20-57-00 HikariWrt - LuCI--quectel-3ginfo-lite-configuration

Under the Network - Interfaces when using the Quectel and QMI protocols, can only set Modem device: /dev/cdc-wdm0 and when using ModemManager can only set Modem device: Quectel - RG500Q-EA.

Back in 16-Jul-2024, I have posted the System Logs in Arcadyan AW1000 (Telstra 5G Smart Modem) support- IPQ807x for when performing Step 1 to Step 3 when using Optus sim.

MiG-41 commented 3 months ago

Why you are adding mm interface , it is not needed, v1.1.0-beta should connect with default settings . Only thing with could be to correct is:

If it is not connecting , please do after system boot: /etc/init.d/network restart , or ifup wan ,and see what happen.

If still problems ,maybe you pass answers from modem for these AT commands:

I have already tried to softboot and power off/on many times during each step and/or each scenario before coming to the conclusion. Please refer to my original post: step 2 and scenario 1, when running QMI Cellular protocol on its own and for updated output of AT+CGCONTRDP under each scenarios.

I sugggest to deactivate MBN files (use a manual configuration ) , so

AT+QMBNCFG="Deactivate" AT+QMBNCFG="AutoSel",0 And then check , if there are no "x,1,1" at any files ( Now "Telstra_Australia_Commercial" has it).

When only running QMI Cellular protocol and having MBN deactivated will produce pictures as below. If MBN was reactivated it will go back to my previously posted pictures in Scenario 1 above.

Hi @atan2005

What is your module's current firmware? You can check by sending the AT command ATI.

Also as @MiG-41 mentioned, can you try again with the default configuration? It should work out of the box.

atan2005 commented 3 months ago

ATI Quectel RG500Q-EA Revision: RG500QEAAAR11A07M4G_ACY OK

AT+QGMR RG500QEAAAR11A07M4G_ACY OK

As per my replies to @MiG-41, it still didn't work for me.

xhikarishii commented 3 months ago

@atan2005 now I see where the problem is :)

You are using an outdated firmware of the module, you can update your module using qfirehose, the firmware is also on my repositories

And by the looks of it you are still using a custom firmware.

xhikarishii commented 3 months ago

atan2005 commented 3 months ago

@xhikarishii My device is a Telstra branded Arcadyan AW1000 which I got back in 03-Jun-2024 and it was running Telstra firmware version 0.06.01r, hardware version: XCI35AX44Z-TA before I replace it with OpenWrt snapshots dated 30-Jun-2024, then QWrt, then HikariWrt.

Could you please confirm if it is fine to proceed to update my Quectel modem with the firmware RG500QEAAAR13A01M4G_01.200.01.200.zip that you have provided if you consider my modem is still on outdated Telstra custom firmware revision: RG500QEAAAR11A07M4G_ACY? Thanks.

@atan2005 should be fine, I came from the same module firmware version too when I got mine

It detected the usb drive /dev/sda with exfat filesystem but it did not detect the first and only partition /dev/sda1 with the extracted files in it. From further research, it lacks these packages kmod-fs-exfat, kmod-fs-vfat, kmod-fs-ntfs3 to support the 3 most common filesystems on Windows. When these packages were tried to be installed, it complained about the incompatible version as below:-

Could you please advise how do I resolve the versions mismatch issue (or how to download version 6.6.37) and also going forward if more software are needed?

MiG-41 commented 3 months ago

Please look out during mode update , if it will stuck on some reason , also whole router will not boot: https://forum.openwrt.org/t/arcadyan-aw1000-telstra-5g-smart-modem-support-ipq807x/122307/115

Just to be warned.

Easiest way is to use WinSCP and use SCP protocol to transfer files ,like here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyI2_B024Nk

xhikarishii commented 3 months ago

@atan2005 let's focus on the current issue, and create one on separate thread so we don't get confused here :)

But I have added the kernel mods on the next build, you'll need to recompile the kernel for those packages

xhikarishii commented 3 months ago

Hi @atan2005 did that worked for you? Since I haven't received any updates for a week I'll close this issue.
