You can't add WPA2 unless the manufacturer released a firmware update to support WPA2.

Hi, Thanks for this. It works well, the only thing I have noticed is the performance of the modem internally is very much faster than any option of sharing that connection out.

It may have been just a modem software/setting corruption.

I'm not sure if I understand. The router itself never went down, just the ability for the modem to connect. When it did lose the connection it had lost it's IPv4 and IPv6 addesses and the typical reboots didn't resolve the issue. Unless you mean a certain site cause the connection to go down (CDN ...

Looks like your modem is not connecting to the network, There could be a number of reasons for that, including a router failure, modem, and carrier/network issue.

An ATT prepaid sim will only work in the US, there's no international roaming unless you sign up on a postpaid plan.
Besides, when roaming it will use one of your local carrier's towers which you could test with a local prepaid sim.

If trying to force SA mode only, the tower may not support that alone and falls back to NSA which is completely normal till they go full SA only.
One of the best ways of testing a tower, is by inserting the SIM into a newer iPhone like 12 or 13 which contains both SA/NSA including mmWave.

It's unlikely that the modem's firmware update caused the lights to go out, it may be just a coincidence.
On the other hand, the router's firmware update can cause some light not to function which can usually be fixed, but not by AT commands.

If you had a connector soldered in and the 10 pin out of your interface matched it's a straight connection.
Otherwise you need to tack on single wires to the pads.
