We have decided that for our use<br>cases, setting the initial bearer as well is going to be the best solution.<br><br>I can set this in my monitoring script, which should be OK - check<br>the APN when the modem becomes available, but I don't know if there's<br>a better place in the MM/netifd/OpenWrt scripts where this would be<br>better and more reliably done? Changing the APN might well cause<br>the modem to reset, which is fine, but it's worth bearing in mind.</p></blockquote></body></html>
