      Thanks for the remark. I saw that in some datasheet before. What i was not 100% aware of is that most (if not all) providers in Germany killed already the UMTS frequencies...

      Do you have any other LTE or 5G card which you can recommend; which works fine with pfSense and is for mini-pci port?

        @xt_ntwrk I currently do not have any alternatives. For me, this card would be sufficient if one of the 3 providers here still have something in the 2100 Mhz WCDMA. I will try with an Orange pre-paid card and see if it connects the packet switching part of the modem. Will post here the results. I need this card as a backup WAN. I have 500 MB bandwidth FTH for my main WAN connection.

        However, I would go with the MC7304. I need a mini PCI-e card anyway, because that's what my hardware accepts.

        I will post here the results with Orange. Maybe in a week or so...as time permits.

          I am using a Sierra Wireless MC7710 here in Germany
          with T-Mobile
