While I doubt this has anything to do with libqmi, I'm curious why Verizon sometimes erratically changes the assigned IP address. Anyone else seen this type of behavior? MC7455 configuration using Verizon Wireless LTE: 1. Configured to only connect to band 4 (AWS spectrum) since band 13 is usually always congested. 2. The "auto-connect" feature is enabled. $ qmicli -p -d /dev/cdc-wdm1 --wds-get-autoconnect-settings Autoconnect settings retrieved: Status: 'enabled' Roaming: 'allowed' 3. The latest Sierra Wireless firmware for Verizon is installed. AT!GOBIIMPREF? !GOBIIMPREF: preferred fw version: 02.24.05.06 preferred carrier name: VERIZON preferred config name: VERIZON_002.034_000 current fw version: 02.24.05.06 current carrier name: VERIZON current config name: VERIZON_002.034_000 My python script queries qmicli every 3 seconds to see if the IP address has changed, and if it does, it will also spit out the current LTE signal info. The below seems pretty erratic. Although the SNR is not very good in most of the samples below, it is usually higher, and I can get anywhere from 10-15Mbps down and 3-5Mbps up on band 4, so I sort of doubt this is the reason, but maybe. 2017-09-30 09:07:15,469 INFO ===========> Connected 100.98.177.169/32 dev wwan1 2017-09-30 09:41:14,525 INFO ===========> IP changed ( 100.98.177.169 != 100.126.142.43) INFO LTE: INFO RSSI: '-72 dBm' INFO RSRQ: '-15 dB' INFO RSRP: '-106 dBm' INFO SNR: '3.0 dB' 2017-09-30 09:41:23,485 INFO ===========> IP changed ( 100.126.142.43 != None) INFO LTE: INFO RSSI: '-72 dBm' INFO RSRQ: '-15 dB' INFO RSRP: '-106 dBm' INFO SNR: '2.8 dB' 2017-09-30 09:41:24,271 INFO ===========> Connected 100.83.235.115/32 dev wwan1 2017-09-30 09:45:16,178 INFO ===========> IP changed ( 100.83.235.115 != 100.111.150.219) INFO LTE: INFO RSSI: '-72 dBm' INFO RSRQ: '-15 dB' INFO RSRP: '-106 dBm' INFO SNR: '2.8 dB' 2017-09-30 09:45:16,966 INFO ===========> Connected 100.111.150.219/32 dev wwan1 2017-09-30 10:11:20,493 INFO ===========> IP changed ( 100.111.150.219 != 100.81.169.44) INFO LTE: INFO RSSI: '-72 dBm' INFO RSRQ: '-15 dB' INFO RSRP: '-106 dBm' INFO SNR: '3.6 dB' 2017-09-30 10:11:21,279 INFO ===========> Connected 100.81.169.44/32 dev wwan1 2017-09-30 10:29:32,975 INFO ===========> IP changed ( 100.81.169.44 != None) INFO LTE: INFO RSSI: '-72 dBm' INFO RSRQ: '-15 dB' INFO RSRP: '-106 dBm' INFO SNR: '7.0 dB' 2017-09-30 10:29:33,803 INFO ===========> Connected 100.73.58.147/32 dev wwan1 It is now 5 hours later (around 14:21) and the assigned IP address has not changed.
