    @Aldo-Castro-Freire Okay so that is a different issue and voxl-time-sync is not affecting that at all.

    What kind of LTE modem are you using and what carrier?

        @Aldo-Castro-Freire Where are you located? Depending on your location the modem / SIM may not be supported.

            the current location is Okotoks, Alberta, Canada. It was working fine a week ago but today it wasn't working. I have a 40Gbs plan. I got the sim in the same place and it was working fine

                Actually the full output of ifconfig may be more helpful

                        @Aldo-Castro-Freire And pinging google.com fails the same as 8.8.8.8?

                            @Aldo-Castro-Freire Interesting, form what I can see, everything looks like it's running correctly on the software side since you're able to get an IP just fine but the internet connection itself doesn't work...

                            What does your antenna situation look like?

                                @Aldo-Castro-Freire Okay that looks normal. Can you try testing the SIM card in another device such as a cellphone to verify it can establish a valid network connection at your location?

                                      @Aldo-Castro-Freire Looks like wlan0 is in softap mode, try doing ifconfig wlan0 down and then pinging. I wonder if the routing is getting confused

                                          @Aldo-Castro-Freire Next thing to try

                                          Disable the voxl-modem service from running automatically with:

                                          systemctl disable voxl-modem
                                          

                                          Then reboot your VOXL with:

                                          reboot
                                          

                                          (or power cycle)

                                          Then ADB back in and run:

                                          voxl-modem-start.sh
                                          

                                          and paste that output here as well as open a new shell and see if you're able to ping
