Does this work both for 4G and 5G? I saw somewhere where it mentions this makes a call for 4G connection. And this coincides with my current issue that I am not able to register or connect to a 5G network after I put in 1,3,1 for at+qnetdevctl followed by a reset.
What contexts have you got defined?
AT+CGDCONT?
From looking at the documentation above, I’d be trying AT+QNETDEVCTL=3,1,0 if I had one of these modems.
Only 1 and 11. APN on 1 is the operator name and APN 11 is ims, which I don’t need. So 1,3,1 seems like the only option.
I need it to work on startup so I need the second parameter to be 3 anyways. Also the order of the parameters seem to be different from what I saw online. at+qnetdevctl=? shows (1-11), (0-3), (0,1)
AT+QNETDEVCTL=<op>,<contextID>[,<URC_enable>]
Context ID is the second argument, so I recommend trying 1 for that.
3 in the first argument means:
Make a call and automatically remake a call after disconnecting from the network, and automatically make a call after startup
If I do that it creates a new pdp context 3 with a null APN name. Mind you, with 1,3,1 I am getting the desired dialup on startup and I am able to connect to the internet. But it’s only working with LTE. And it’s not registering to 5G even when under a 5G coverage area.
That’s a strong indication that the command syntax is different on your modem from that on the EG060V the documentation refers to.
I’m not aware of any dependency between this command and RAT (3/4/5G).
Are you seeing 5G signal in the AT+COPS=? result?
Is your SIM 5G-capable, and proven to be in another device?
AT+COPS? Is showing 4G. Yes, I have checked that the sim cards are 5G capable with a 5G capable smartphone.
If I don’t have the dialup set on startup, AT+COPS? and AT+C5GREG? both return confirmation of 5G registration.
After I run AT+QNETDEVCTL=1,1,1, it switches to LTE. Sometimes the "servingcell" output is SEARCHING, and it never finds a cell untill I reset 1 or 2 times.
Also my "mode_pref" is set to NR5G.
Just in case of a misunderstanding, AT+COPS? and AT+COPS=? are very different commands.
Oh, my bad. The AT+C5GREG? shows 0,0 and AT+QENG="servingcell" shows "LTE", ig that confirms it anyways?
Also AT+CEREG? shows 0,1.
Ok. So the operator I was using actually operates on 5G NSA bands. It only switches to 5G when a minimum threshold has been achieved.
