Question

Hello,

I have a RUTX11 with modem firmware version EG06ELAR04A03M4G. From modem_updater -D -g:

[email protected]:~# modem_updater -D -g
[INFO] internet connection is working
[INFO] Available versions:
EG06ELAR04A04M4G
EG06ELAR04A06M4G
EG06ELAR04A07M4G
EG06ELAR04A08M4G

Is there something to gain in terms of carrier aggregation with an upgrade?

Regards,

Answer 1

Hello,

Checking the firmware release notes from Quectel for each firmware, there are no mentions of fixes/improvements related to carrier aggregation. Unless, something went unnoted, there is probably not much to gain with the update.

Best regards,

Ok thank you for checking.

According to @walter66 here upgrading to version EG06LAR0408M4G seems to bring benefits, at least for the RUT360.

Unfortunately modem_updater -D -g fails most of the time apparently because the modemfota.teltonika-networks.com sftp server works strangely for example ls -al may take up to two minutes to reply and sshfs / fuse has a one minute timeout.

At the end I was able to download all the EG06LAR0408M4G related files it should be possible to upgrade using a local path (-p option) but I have no idea about the required arborescence. Is there any documentation about this ?
