    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

                                    This would be running through what the voxl-modem service does in the background but gives us better visibility

                                        @Aldo-Castro-Freire From what I can see, everything looks good on both the hardware and the software side. It's possible it's an issue with the carrier.

                                        We use GoogleFi for all of our testing so I unfortunately can't provide any guidance on anything related to your carrier.

                                          Today I tried using another provider for the SIM and it connected to the internet. Not sure where to start debugging this cause it is getting an IP, but I figure it needs internet access to get the time ?
