RUT241 SMS Utilities

Hi,

I want to know if somebody changing mobile settings on RUT241 via SMS ?
I tested like this :
adminpass cellular apn=xxx auth=chap username=user password=pwd

I tried on version RUT2M_R_00.07.06.10 and RUT2M_R_00.07.11 but in both cases without succes.

APN was changed but auth stays on none and username also stays default but password was changed.

Maybe someone here with this experience ? What do you suggest ?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out.

Could you confirm if the described issue with the mobile settings persists after verifying them via WebUI (Network → WAN → Edit on the mobile interface)? If the changes reflected only partially (e.g., APN updated but authentication type and username remain default), this behavior is indeed unusual.

As a potential workaround, you can try sending the following SMS Utilities commands in sequence:

  1. To set the authentication type to CHAP:
    <admin password> uci set network.mob1s1a1.auth=chap && uci commit network
  2. To set the username:
    <admin password> uci set network.mob1s1a1.username=user && uci commit network
  3. To set the password:
    <admin password> uci set network.mob1s1a1.password=pwd && uci commit network

After sending these commands, please check if the settings persist in the WebUI or if the issue resolves.

Let me know if you need any further assistance.

Best regards,

Hi,

i succeeded with uci command :

<admin_pwd> uci set network.mob1s1a1.auto_apn=0
<admin_pwd> uci set network.mob1s1a1.apn=myprivateapn
<admin_pwd> uci set network.mob1s1a1.auth=chap
<admin_pwd> uci set network.mob1s1a1.username=usr
<admin_pwd> uci set network.mob1s1a1.password=pwd
<admin_pwd> uci commit network

With the cellular command, I noticed that it does not correctly recognize the auth options :

<admin_pwd> cellular apn=mprivateapn auth=chap username=usr password=pwd

After sending this command via SMS i check config via CLI on router and i noticed that it’s not correctly set auth options.

Best Regards
