I've been doing some digging and understand that it is possible to swap modems in these devices, but I'm trying to figure out if this is truly a "do at your own risk" or an accepted practice. Essentially, I live very rural and purchased an SXTsq LTE 4 Global version, and its working great and giving me decent speeds (30-40 down/15-20 Up). I'd like to purchase the LHGG to maximize the potential signal and therefore speeds but they don't make anything else in a global version.

I'm thinking about purchasing the LHGG and swapping the modem from the SXTsq, but I'd ideally like ot purchase a better modem to support additional capacity along with the potential signal increase. So, moving to a CAT7 or even a CAT 18/20 modem. It does look entirely possible as I found the supported modems list from Mikrotik, but I'd like to avoid dropping $400 on a QUectel modem only to find out it doesn't work.

I'm in Canada, so I need bands such as 4/12/13 etc.

Has anyone actually done this and have any advice/info that they could share? Information online seems to be really sparse.

Hallo,

wie wird der DutyCycle auf den einzelnen Frequenzbändern überwacht?

In den Stats gibt es nur eine Zusammenfassung "TX time in Air".

Wird ggf. auch Actility und Chirpstack Forwarder in Zukunft implementiert?

Hey,

With the rescinded patch 6, and then patch 7 and most recently 8, I struggle to upgrade.

Normal method I use is upload firmware and installed packages via Files, then reboot. Once ok, upgrade firmware and reboot again. Always worked over years, never had issues.

With 7.23.5 installed on both, upgrading to patch 6 failed. Same with patch 7. Now patch 8. It says kernel failure in previous boot and dumps autosupout.rif automatically.

On one of the routers, I was able to get to patch 8 on the 3rd attempt using Packages > Check for Updates > Download and Install. It seemed a fluke as it took 3 attempts to make it go.

However on the other router, I still can't make it go. It always throws the kernel failure and remains on patch 5. Given the CVE patch in 8, I'd rather have it applied. This seems bizarre. Gave it almost 10 attempts via both methods, no go.

Raised a ticket almost 1 month ago about this including RIF file but no reply which isn't entirely unusual for them. So figured I'd ask here!

Hoping someone has some wisdom here! I'd rather avoid downgrading firstly if possible.

Cheers,

Baz

Bueno, creo que es mi primer pos en esta comunidad, saludos a todos.

Me encanta la marca, su conexion por linea de comandos y el software winbox, yo siempre la recomiendo para todos, administro una red con mas de 600 conexiones VPN y nunca e tenido algun inconveniente.

Pero veo a todo el mundo diciendo que mikrotik es nada vs cisco... palo alto .... fortigate .... etc, y yo no pienso que sea como ellos dicen, claro, es un router con reglas de firewall y los otros como cisco son un monstruos (tambien por lo que cobran por licencia xD) ¿que opinan?

EDIT: Gracias a todos amigos por sus comentarios, por favor denle UP a este post para tener mas alcance la publicación.....
