New Boron will not connect to Cellular Network

I have a brand new Boron 404x where I've followed the new device set up steps but it is still flashing green after over 24 hours. I can seen the device in the console with the status "Waiting to connect". How can I troubleshoot this?

What is the status of the SIM card in the console?

What country are you located in?

I'm in the US

Getting a log from web device doctor would be a good next step if the SIM is showing as active.

I can connect to my device from device doctor, but how do i generate a log? Thanks - I'm new to Particle

It should progress through several steps and one of them should have a box with log messages.

What is the last step you get to?

This is my log ouput here:

indicates that there were no compatible cell towers found. The most common reasons are:

  • There is no AT&T or T-Mobile LTE Cat M1 service where you are.
  • Antenna not connected properly (more common with B-SoM because there are multiple U.FL connectors next to each other).
  • Hardware issue with the Boron, antenna, or connector.

thanks for reviewing the log. The antenna is connected to the device. I live in central new jersey, I doubt that there would be an issue finding an AT&T or T-mobile tower where I am. Is there a way I could determine LTE Cat M1 coverage in my area?
