Hi @saltanar

I do it like this:

  1. I set apn in LuCI
  2. If the modem does not connect to the Internet, I set the APN with the at command
  3. Reboot the modem with the at command.

After these operations, my modem has no problems with the connection and remembers the set apn.

How do you set the apn? tell me step by step what you do.
Have you also checked other SIM cards and other APNs?

Check if apn is correct (same for QMI and at command).
Try another SIM card (and APN).

It's hard for me to predict what could be wrong, I've never had such a case.

The procedure has always worked, now I don't even have to force the apn with the at command, the modem immediately connects to the Internet after changing the apn in LuCI.

modem and or router ?

There is a package https://github.com/4IceG/luci-app-lite-watchdog, just need to do an update to the latest version.

The package allows you to resume the connection or do a restart of the router / modem.

That's right, this package is already in my build only in an older version, so I recommend updating package to the last released version.
