RUTX50 internal modem unstable after RG520 modem firmware update – SIM failure, gsmctl N/A, no registration

Brrrr … I do have a RUTC50 and updated the modem yesterday to RG520NEBDCR03A05M4G and have the same issues with 5G now:

This happens every 30-60min. My 5G provider(s) are all NSA.

So, I would say, something is terribly wrong with the modem firmware RG520NEBDCR03A05M4G.

Teltonika, please fix this by providing an official way forward! Firmware RG520NEBDCR03A05M4G basically breaks the core functionality of that router…
