Hi @sinovoip, I bought this 4G modem from Amazon for my BPI-R3 based on the generic guidance from posts of you that “Quectel EC25E” is the modem which is compatible.

The product images are not correct but these are are matching the modem and extension board I have:

Question is, I plugged the modem into the mPCIe and inserted the SIM on the respective card slot of the BPI-R3 too. However, OpenWrt constantly complaints that the SIM was not found. Can you provide some guidance if and how to get the modem running in the mPCIe slot?

I open this thread too to resolve the SIM Card not found issue.:

Thanks Mike
