SIM card connectivity

  • MiniPCIe 1 LR (top slot) supports PCIe and USB 2.0 cards but is shared with the USB 2.0 type A port (can use either the USB port or miniPCIe slot at the same time). It can be used only for SIM slot #1.
  • MiniPCIe 2 LTE (bottom slot) supports only USB (2.0 and 3.0) miniPCIe modems (no PCIe support). Uses SIM slot #2 and SIM slot #3. By default uses SIM slot #2. The sim cards can be switched in ROS.
  • USB 2.0 type A port (can only be used if miniPCIe 1 is not used). If using LR, the USB will be turned off.
  • To use the top miniPCIe slot with a USB type miniPCIe card, switch the USB connections to the miniPCIe slot: /system routerboard usb set type=mini-PCIe This will disable the USB 2.0 port on the front of the unit.

Insert the SIM card into the top slot by a chip on the SIM card facing down. Bottom slots – with the chip facing up.

Please check if you are using the correct SIM slot. For the modem inserted in the bottom mini-pcie slot, you need to use either sim slot 2 or sim slot 3. And the used sim slot needs to be selected in RouterOS.
CLI command to select the sim slot: /system routerboard modem set sim-slot=2
