Which LTE CARRIER SHOULD I ORDER FOR CANADA

[Aldo Castro Freire]

Hi I would like to know which LTE modem carrier should I order or a custom one would be needed ?

[Chad Sweet]

Check out the datasheet here, I assume one of the bands will be supported in Canada. Which Canadian cellular carrier are you trying to use?

This page seems to have good information: https://www.signalbooster.com/pages/what-are-4g-lte-frequencies-bands-of-telus-rogers-bell

[Chad Sweet]

VOXL-ACC-LTEH-7610 seems like it should work on each of those carriers

[Aldo Castro Freire]

Yes, thank you I am trying to use a rogers SIM CARD, So I should order the LTE modem with the US Carrier (WP7610) right ?

[Aldo Castro Freire]

Should I be worried that the US carrier does not cover B7 band?

[Aldo Castro Freire]

I got the modem but, i am not sure it is working. I don't get any ip

[Chad Sweet]

Have you followed the instructions? https://docs.modalai.com/lte-v2-modem-manual/

Also, you will need to know the APN for your carrier and set it properly. You can look at the voxl-modem source code for how to set the APN

[Aldo Castro Freire]

Yes I followed the instructions. Yes I know the apn carrier of my provider. I used before. Also my wifi set up is on does it matter?

[Aldo Castro Freire]

This is the apn I used: just type ltemobile.apn
When it ask for it in the configuration.

@Aldo-Castro-Freire Can you post the outputs of both systemctl status -l voxl-modem and ifconfig

[Aldo Castro Freire]

these are the outputs:

wait the first one changed:

[tom]

Have you tested this SIM card previously? With another phone perhaps to determine that it is activated correctly?

[tom]

Antoher thing to try is to disable the modem startup script using systemctl disable voxl-modem and then rebooting your voxl. After you reboot, ADB back in and run voxl-modem-start.sh. This should allow you to see the script's entire output.

[Aldo Castro Freire]

okay that worked, one more question for the openVPN I am new to yocto linux, how do I know if the daemon was able to connect to the openVPN server, my IP still the same.

[tom]

OpenVPN will usually create a new network interface, similar to tun or tun0 and should route traffic through there. If you run ifconfig you will see a list of network interfaces. You will also need to make sure that OpenVPN is starting after you have connected to the internet as it will most likely fail to connect to the VPN and not retry with default settings.

[Aldo Castro Freire]

@tom thanks apparently the openvpn version needed to be updated the default version that comes with voxl does not work for me

@Aldo-Castro-Freire thanks for the feedback, do you mind sharing the openVPN Client and Server versions you ended up using that worked?

We've tested using server v2.4.8, voxl-vpn (v2.1.3 inside that), and OpenVPN Connect ver 3.2.2 on Adroid.
