      Sorry so bump a dead thread but….

      Yeah, I never did get his working though I would still like to. Has anyone else had luck with this?

      Slow code? Sounds like a good reason to buy more hardware!

        Sorry to bump an old post but I'm running into the same problem. I can manually connect to LTE networking using PPP via command line so I know it works, but not through pfSense GUI.

          @jcarver81 I'm having this same issue on an MC7354 (my log looks the same), but have not yet successfully connected manually either. Would you mind sharing how you've done that so I can troubleshoot a bit more ?

              What state is it in? Does pfSense/u3g detect the card and create the ports? Can you connect to them from the command line?

                @stephenw10 yes pfsense does detect the module and can you show me how to connect them through the command line, that would be great

                  Yes use cu -l cuaU0.X as shown above. Where X is probably 2.

                  That should give you access to the modem AT interface so you can query it's status etc.

                  Once that is confirmed working you can try configuring a ppp session using that port.

                    @stephenw10 i typed the command and it shows connected

                    so its recognised by pfsense right?

                        After doing that you should be at an AT interface. So if you enter AT it should reply OK.

                          @stephenw10 omg i really did it, thank you so much !

                          after i realised the interface is not freeze ... it just not showing any texts :0

                          and i follow this https://teklager.se/en/knowledge-base/pfsense-lte-troubleshooting/

                          at first it said: "+CME ERROR: SIM not inserted"
                          and i did at!reset, and voila, flawless, detected immediately ✨

                          just for anyone else having the same problem. thanks

                            Nice! So you were able to configure the PPP session and get a link?
