Quectel RG501Q-EU

Hello, my RG501Q-EU with the revision RG501QEUAAR12A10M4G_04.200.00.000. I’ve read there is a new firmware version available. Could a support send me it?

Anyway another question would be, is there cell locking available for this modem? I tried it with gsmctl -A ‘AT+QNWLOCK=“common/lte”,2,300,45’ but without success.

Any Help would be appreciated!

Dear @6664213
I have sent the latest firmware to your email, please check.

AT+QNWLOCK, this command is not recommended for commercial use.
Why did you want to use it? This parameter is number of cells to be locked, so it should be 1.

Dear @silvia ,

I got your email, thanks for the help!

I live in Germany and there is a cell tower with LTE band 1 and 3 nearby but the modem chooses one that is about 6km further away. Because of that, the signal is about -111 RSRP and close to -20 RSRQ.

So I wanted to lock to the nearby cell tower to boost my signal but just locking a band didn’t help.

Do you think locking it on the nearby tower should help in my case or do you do have another suggestion what I could try?

Dear @6664213
If lock one cell, when the cell has some problem, you don’t have any network.

You can try to configure the band information via AT+QCFG=“band”,

Hi Silvia,

Could you please send me the latest firmware version for the RG501Q-EU?

Thanks.

Dear @jackchua
Please share your current firmware.

Hi Silvia,

My device is running firmware RG501QEUAAR12A09M4G, which is quite old. Could you please provide the latest firmware version for it? Any update instructions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
jack

Dear Silvia,

Thank you for the email. Unfortunately, I am looking for the latest R13 version firmware as I need to use the 5G CA function on this module. Could you please send me the latest R13 version again?

Thanks,
Jack
