Error installing 3G/4G base hat with Quectel EC25 Mini PCle

Raspberry Pi Network HATs 3G/4G&LTE Base HAT

I am having some difficulty installing on a Pi 4. I get all the way through the installation stepps to the point of the quectel-CM -s apn command and I get error below. I have also tried with username password auth -p pin but no luck. anyone got any ideas?

Hi @jason-5578,

Please check the APN.

Would you try “mdata.net.au” instead?

I have the same difficulties too on Pi 4.

My system version :
*PRETTY_NAME=“Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)”
NAME=“Raspbian GNU/Linux”
VERSION_ID=“10”
VERSION=“10 (buster)”
VERSION_CODENAME=buster
ID=raspbian
ID_LIKE=debian

When I run quectel-CM, sometimes the modem gets an IP address, but most of the time it doesn’t :

Same problem with SFR and an other PI 4, an other LTE base Hat, an other EC25E Mini PCIe module, and an other SD card with an other installation of Raspbian :

An idea ?
