Nokia Fastmile 5G Receiver from Swisscom blocked

Bafioppeup25

I tried to use the Nokia Fastmile Receiver sold by Swisscom with a SIM card from another provider but It doesn’t work.

Under Settings –> Network –> Cellular –> Access Point Name there is only the Swisscom APN and it’s not possible to change it.

In the manual of the Fastmile receiver it says that is possible to add / remove or edit APNs.

Is it possible that the device is blocked by Swisscom?

If so can I ask Swisscom to unblock it or send me the original firmware?

Hi @Bafioppeup25

Unfortunately, you won’t get any support in this matter directly from Swisscom.

In the german version of this forum, @NilsL played around with a booster - not sure if he was able to “free” it from the restrictions, though.

Maybe the following credentials will help you:

User: superadmin

Passwort: N5G#WebSu

Please let us know how it goes, as you are in uncharted territory 😉

Best,

I didn’t play around with it all that much since I already had it listed on Ricardo and someone bid on it before I found the credentials @r00t mentioned

Because of that I only had a couple of days to mess with it and didn’t want to break anything since it was technically already sold

If I remember correctly it is possible to change the APN but I still wasn’t able to get a connection from the LAN Port since I didn’t find where to change it to not use a VLAN for it’s traffic and how to get it to act as a DHCP Server

I have the same issue.

Have a locked device from Swisscom. Wonder if anyone has had sucess in getting it unloacked by swisscom or by any other means..

Also how do you access the UI of the Device i can only see the info in the Nokia app during set up?

thank you

How can this be even legal: i mean i did buy the hardware so it is my property now and why should swisscom have the right to lock the APN settings now?

I am no longer with swisscom so thats why i want to edit the APN settings to make use of this hardware with another provider.

I really want swisscom to be fairplay in this industry and give us the superadmin password for us to be able to change the APN settings.

Hi @Wuldeutta71

I am not sure if changing the APN would help you, as the rest of the Boosters configuration gets provisioned via TR-69.

Keep in mind, that for the bonding to work, your router has to split the traffic over multiple paths and you also need an endpoint in the internet that then re-assembles it.

@Wuldeutta71 The super Admin password is: N5G#WebSup

However it still won’t work properly since the booster only boots up with the original SIM in it and it needs to quickly connect to Swisscom’s Management server

However if you boot it up with the standard APN Settings and Swisscom SIM, then replace the SIM and change the APN it will work (until you reboot it again). But you need to make sure you get the WAN Network from the router you connect to the booster from the tagged VLAN 699 (or plug in a managed switch behind the booster and set the VLAN tagging up there)

I’m working on a possible Firmware-Modification to fix those issues but don’t have that much time currently since I have a lot of projects at clients

Wuldeutta71

yes this is exactly my plan, only thing is: the password has changed probably via OTA so that superadmin/N5G#WebSu doesnt work for me. I only have access to the normal admin account with password printed on the label, which cannot change APN settings.

NilsL

@Wuldeutta71 Actually you don’t really need to change the APN, just try swapping the SIM after booting the booster

It somehow figures the APN out automatically, in my case I could get both a Quickline and a Yallo SIM working without changing the APN

However, a Swisscom SIM (MultiSIM) didn’t work at all, even if I change the APN

Hi @Wuldeutta71

It looks like I made a typo - the password is

N5G#WebSup

no luck here unfortunately

Hi @Wuldeutta71

Which firmware version installed on your booster?

Best,

r00t

Wuldeutta71

Hardware Version: 3TG01529ABABSoftware Version: 24.01.00.0693

Wuldeutta71

Does this work even when the Swisscom contact has ended? Does that Bootup with Swisscom SIM then change the SIM to another provider still work?

NilsL

@“x”#1370618As far as I know yes

r00t

@Wuldeutta71

In this case, you sadly might be out of luck. My booster indeed has an older firmware version (23.xx)

Just out of curiosity, what are you exactly trying to accomplish? Using the booster as a mobile router?

Best,

i succeeded now using the 5G receiver as an internet input (with a digitalrepublic SIM) to my TPLink Archer X55 where u configured the vlan699 as you described. Works fine now. Hope i will never have to reboot the 5G receiver so will not have to change SIMs for it to work again.

NilsL

@Wuldeutta71 Great

For me the problem is still not solved, I want to be able to use the booster with another SIM and have it also work after a reboot

I also want it to work properly with a Swisscom (Multi-)SIM

Hilft jemand? Kennen Sie die Einstellungen für den ACS-Autokonfigurationsserver im Swisscom-Netzwerk?
