SO, I used ffplay and was able to see the stream successfully. A quick google about vlc/rtsp brought up many issues in the community after some recent updates. I am not sure how I was able to do this before and cannot now, but I did find a fix for windows

https://www.reddit.com/r/reolink/comments/yzhlxp/found_a_solution_for_rtsp_blackno_video_in_vlc/#:~:text=In VLC%2C under the Tools,video stream in VLC player.

In case that link is ever deleted, I will paste the instructions here
"In VLC, under the Tools menu, go to Preferences (or Ctrl+p), open the Input/Codecs tab, and at the bottom in the Network area, the selection for "live555 stream transport" should be moved from "HTTP (default)" to "RTP over RTSP (TCP)". This worked, I can now view the video stream in VLC player."

This resolves the RTSP stream for windows. Those config options are not available in the linux version of VLC but I did see some config options you can build VLC with. I did not venture too far down that path

@RSAUser1 you should not need to download any drivers to do the steps I listed, in fact I almost advise against it unless you know what you're doing. I certainly didn't and still don't. I found my workaround much easier. The idea of outdated drivers is a theory I have, but modalAI never confirmed if that was the case. Probably @tom or Travis could speak more to that

@RSAUser1 yeah i'd probably pass to @tom . The modem is seems connected, otherwise you wouldnt see wwan0 come up. Once I had access to AT commands I ditched QMI which I think is more or less a wrapper for those commands anyway.
