RUTC50 Modem issue since Update - Mobile 5GMM reject cause: N1 mode not allowed

Internal Modem issues since Update.

Yesterday was everything fine…

I did the update in the evening…

Today every hour the modem is not working.

Sometimes everything fine after restarting, sometimes after looking minutes recovering.

Since switch back to 4G (12:00) no problems anymore.

Switched back to 5G, immediately Disconnected with:

  • “Mobile 5GMM reject cause: N1 mode not allowed”

Network O2 Germany - Reported to carrier —> No current issues known. :frowning:

Hello,

I updated the internal modem firmware from RG520NEBDCR03A04M4G_01.200.01.200 to RG520NEBDCR03A05M4G_A0.300.A0.300, but the issue persists. The modem repeatedly connects and disconnects after a few minutes.

Steps already performed (no improvement):

  • Factory reset

  • Installed the latest available router firmware

  • Switched SIM slots

  • Reconfigured APN settings

I also analyzed the system logs using Claude Code. The logs indicate a recurring loop related to the modem driver. Based on this, I suspect a modem firmware issue and believe an updated firmware version is required.

Update: Switching to 4G Band seems to work stable

Best regards,
Christian

same problem here!

seems that the modem agressively pushes 5G SA mode, which is not supported by carriers and then the modem is looping without connection.

Temporary fix with 4G only works for me, but is not the solution!

I have the same router, and I also have exactly the same issue after the modem update. Looking through the forum topics, this seems to be a common issue.

Does the new firmware (07.22.1) that was released today solve the modem issue with the 5G connections? I don’t see a modem firmware update.

Hi…

This is only an update to the RutOS at the router… not the firmware of the modem lte, inside the router.

There is a message about modem firmware update… but no Release Notes, about it.

Your screengrab is a downgrade version from the problematic 05M4G modem firmware I think?

YES…

I just ignored the message about update lte modem and keep only updating RUTOS.

I tested the new device firmware, but it’s indeed still unstable in 5G mode. I hope that the new modem firmware will be released soon as well and we can enjoy proper 5G connectivity again.

my… it is not bad… keep up between 8hs to 12hs.

Our C50 also indicates that the 5G connection is up, but the wifi clients don’t get internet access as long as 5G is enabled. When we switch off 5G (and only have a 4G mobile connection) all is fine though. No 5G speeds obviously.
