How can a technician separate a carrier problem, antenna problem, configuration problem and router fault?

Use controlled substitution. Test the SIM in another approved device, or a known-working SIM in the router. Move the router to a known-good antenna or connect a short test antenna, and compare signal-quality readings. Verify APN and configuration against a working template.

Check system uptime and power logs to identify resets. If several devices on the same carrier fail together, investigate the network; if only one site has poor RSRQ or SINR, inspect the radio path. Reproduce the fault on the bench where possible. Change one variable at a time and keep evidence, otherwise several simultaneous changes can hide the real cause.
