      Dear all,
      I have tried to connect to the internet using LTE-M. For that, I received an LTE-M SIM from Magenta Austria.
      I have followed the example shown in https://development.pycom.io/tutorials/networks/lte/ (using the correct APN and band information) without success. The network won't attach.
      Using the lte.send_at_cmd('AT!="fsm"') command shows that the TOP FSM is changing between SCANNING, SYNCING, etc.
      On the other hand, lte.send_at_cmd('AT!="showphy"') always shows an RSRP of -21474836.00, similar to a previous post (https://forum.pycom.io/search?term=rsrp&in=titlesposts).
      Does someone have any idea on how I could manage to attach to the network? Any previous experiences with Magenta Austria in this regard?
      Thank you very much!

        @Zoe-Pfister what version of the firmware and of the modem firmware are you using? I suppose you checked for coverage at your location?

            @Zoe-Pfister I have some experience with Magenta Austria! Had the same issue too :D
            See the following topic for more: FiPy unable to connect to T-Mobile NL (LTE-M)

            Unfortunatly, I still don't really know if it just takes forever when trying to attach the first time or if you really have to do a lte.factory_reset() and let if scan for itself without specifying a particular band.

            Give it a try - hope it helps!

              I think I finally found an answer on how to properly reset the modem in case it just won't attach to a network.

              Reset the modem by sending following AT-command:
              lte.send_at_cmd('AT+SQNSFACTORYRESET=?')

              Unlike lte.factory_reset() - which seems to use AT-command AT+SQNSFACTORYRESET - this command will successfully reset the modem to factory state.

              A reboot of the device is necessary to finalize the reset!

              After this process the modem should attach to the network without any issues!

              Also, for further information see: AT Commands Reference Manual, 15.1 Device Reset to Factory State
