I would like to scan for available networks, but I ran always into a timeout, no matter how high the timeout is.
My settings:
- Raspberry Pi CM3
- Quectel EC21
- mmcli 1.14.2
- multiroaming sim card
Output of the command:
# mmcli -m 0 --3gpp-scan --timeout=120
error: couldn't scan networks in the modem: 'Timeout was reached'
The modem is connected and the internet connection works.
I tried different timeouts (< 5 mins) but none of them work.
Background: I have the feeling, that the operator of the sim card prefers his own networks even if there are better networks available. To test this I need to scan the networks and afterwards connect to them.
Could it be, that the scanning is disabled (by default?). And if so how the modem decides which network will be preferred?
EDIT: I tried the same command on my laptop (different modem + mmcli 1.20.2) and it worked without problems.
