Wireless Joint

I can remember back when I was testing antenna location putting the antenna on top of a pole on top of a bucket on top of a ladder and moving the router to areas that made no sense at all but the idea is test with what you got in anyway you can and IF you determine that the new setup REALLY is SIGNI...

I can say without a doubt--that The Wireless Haven store are the best! They stand behind there product!

See link of an example of a PoE enclosure.

Agree the T-Mobile gateway is quirky and hard to manage. For example the signal strengths usually don't equal speed. Can't rely on the info it gives you.
With that being said mine doesn't over heat. Keep the outer case off of it, don't use the WiFi function on it and don't have it in a window.

Ok I'll post them later tonight or tomorrow, drinkin beer and frying turkeys at the moment

I decided for now I will use T-Mobile 50GB for $50 plan as a backup to my AT&T 100GB for $55 primary plan. Both are month to month so I can change either at any time. If T-Mobile Home Internet comes available I may go that way. Today I told HughesNet to cancel my 50GB @ $147/mo service after ove...

32-35Dn 2-4Up. I see, this is well within capabilities of WE826. Actually, I have seen the same situation (30-40 Mbps down/ 3-15 Mbps up) when I tried my new WG1608 + EM160R and compared it with WE826 using MC7455 / EM12G. To me it meant that all modems connected to the same bands and additional CA...

Trees close to the antenna are the worse. If there is a good distance between antenna and trees usually fine. Sometimes just eliminating a tree or two that are close makes a huge difference. Just sharing info. Glad that it is working for you as is.

Oh yea, theres trees all over. My only option I guess is goin a tower, but I'm not going that route. Starlink says mid 22 for my area so If things stay like they are I can just hold out till then. I'm able to game and stream without buffering so it's all good. I do have an older signal booster I may...

Would not hurt to add '-w' (--wait) switch for anything using iptables based on the xtables-legacy* packages, IMHO.

I currently have them both in MBIM. I have not tried setting them both as QMI, though.
I'll probably make a new post about the apparent hardware/USB port conflict. I need to get some screen shots to show what I'm seeing.

Just wanted to update this post. For some reason when I put the sim back into the original ZTE hotspot, I would instantly get a connection and could reinstall it into the NEXQ router and it would also get a connection. But, if I lost connection for any reason I would have to drop the sim back into t...

Thanks for the responses. Talked to Sprint Business over the phone and just asked for a new SIM that works on T-Mobile. The lady never questioned my old hotspot under the account that's incompatible nor asked for my EM7455 IMEI. They're sending a new sim and it looks like I can keep paying what I've...

Still playing with 2x2 antennas. Paired a Wilson Yagi with a The Wireless Haven Yagi Radome. Moved the mast up and over to get farther away from trees. Holy crap, with just a quickie aim job speeds of 70dn and 12up. Best ever for T-Mobile. May even be better when my other The Wireless Haven antenna ...

I really haven't made any changes but for some reason my AT&T connection seems to be working fine. Haven't had to reset or anything.

The ToS there is CYA documentation. Calyx links their donators to the hacks forum and facebook group just for that use. ;) You can get EM7565 imei help here maybe. NOT related to Wireless Joint, even though they copied the trademark name: https://www.facebook.com/groups/imeimagic Whether CYA or not...

FYI, I noticed at some point I broke the OP by accidentally truncating some of the earliest entries in one of my last few updates. Luckily I had a backup so I went back and restored the truncated info. The truncated info was all old stuff which is pretty deprecated by the newer updates but I figured...

I have a phone line plan activated with my RM502Q-AE + WG1608. I had to force it to LTE and use the at+cgdcont=1,"IP","fast.t-mobile.com" APN. 65 is the right TTL

I just want to make sure that on AT&T's end it just looks like I'm browsing directly on my "phone" all day and not hotspotting it That has nothing to do with the apn, to keep them from seeing you are sharing data with other devices you need to adjust the time to live value not the apn...

lawnmowerman, I Have questions, I'm in the same boat as you,, very little signal in the middle of nowhere, got the cel-fi go. It works but like you were describing if 1 phone is using data the other phones may or may not connect, would love more detail on your current setup maybe even some pics and...

Since no one else has answered your post I would suggest maybe trying some of the brainiacs in the whirlpool forums, where dairyman and the like hang out, but again when I was in there it was all about asking SPECIFIC questions to fix SPECIFIC issues. lol I have definitely been over there too. Dair...

Hello, I used QFlash v.5.1 , drivers Quectel_LTE&5G_Windows_USB_Driver_V2.1 and the firmware EM160RGLAUR02A08M4G.zip(firmware files from the dir. firehose) and my EM160R has been successfully upgraded. It's a pity that qfirehose could not upgrade the firmware to the latest version in place (on r...

I figured it my bootp issue (a serial cable helped). I had to use the backup loader then everything worked as expected.

From prior post: "+QRSRP: -85,-100,-129,-96" This is indicating all port are being used. Your latest posts: "+QRSRP: -82,-84,-140,-140" This is indicating either the modem is in an 'idle' state or is not using all ports. You could start a large download and run the AT+QRSRP comma...

For aggregation or improving SINR. The modem can use the signal from all antenna ports to improve the overall signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR). My bet is if you disconnected the diversity antenna and watched your SINR levels you would find that it isn't as good as it was which ultimate...

Hello,

I dont know if it still matters but both interfaces use devices with the same MAC address - I believe this is wrong since MAC addresses for all devices must be unique.

Ok, welp going to come clean here. I had the wifi SMA female antennae plugged into the SMA female connectors coming from the modem.... Not a super good connection going F to F Used the SMA Male antennae and miraculously was able to get a signal. I'm going to go crawl back under my rock and hide my s...

Hello Loose substainal amount really. Using that T-Mobile gateway depends allot on your connection to higher frequency LTE bands. So when my signal strength drops on band 2 it effects my download and upload. Using this to work from home so it is important to have good connection. If you just using i...

I am happy to say Calyx has worked reasonably well except for streaming video. Have been running Calyx 4g LTE for about 1 month. 4.8 miles away to somewhat tree obstructed tower, getting 20-40mb/s down 3-5 mb/s up with external antennas. Speeds can be quite variable. It will get over 60mb/s down in ...

Ok thanks

Tried no change, I think i just got a bad router, tried a netgear LM1200 and connected fine, Cudy refunded my $$ and told me to keep it
Whats the command for QMI? AT+QCFG="usbnet",0?

Is there a way to tell what bands your modem is connecting to? Cell mapper is a good staring point but is often outdated information . Most cheaper modems do not have Carrier Aggregation & MiMo which are helpful for better speed. https://www.cashify.in/what-is-carrier-aggregation-how-can-it-incr...

A good test to see if an antenna will help is bring your modem to the cell tower for a speed test. Use a good quality power inverter or better use 12v from a vehicle if you have access to one. This would give you a baseline of what speed is possible with a good signal. Keep an eye on your signal to ...

@Ozark
you marked out the mac-id and the imei in your photo, but you left the barcodes, kind of defeats the purpose of marking them out don't you think.

I appreciate the help Didneywhorl. I'll open her up to make sure none of the antennas disconnected and will try improve reception.

so update on this. As of this morning I switched over to 5G and suddenly IPv4 ICMP and IPv4 VPN is working as intended. T-Mobile must have finally fixed their settings on their 464xlat deployment.

Thanks Didney and mtl26637! Sorry for the slow response- busy few days. Didney, thanks for the link to the updated AT command docs. I was looking at some outdated ones that didn't even have AT#FIRMWARE. I tried to set the profile that way, but it didn't work either. I'm also just seeing AT#GETFWEXT ...

Can do it once per day like this below https://wirelessjoint.com/viewtopic.php?p=8501#p8501 With the latest version of WiFix there is a setting to reboot the router every so often. Look under "Services / Scheduled Reboot". Make sure your time is correctly set, enable and choose a time for...

Yes there is something very weird with Visible these days.

Adding information to help others find towers using Cradlepoint CBA850LP6 . I found the at!lteinfo? command dumps the tower information needed to use https://opencellid.org/. You can take the MCC and MNC from here and use the LAC and Cell ID from the Connection Status page at!lteinfo? !LTEINFO: Serv...

That's exactly what the issue was Jim and after setting it aside for a couple of days I finally got it right.

The ideal setup for me at this point would be 5G availability in my area for starters

A note for people who find this tutorial - the process has changed a little in the latest firmware (for the NEXP1GO, which is the new name for the WG3526). I found this video walkthrough here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWX1mFhT9YE Basically the settings are under the "Devices" tab of...

Glad the AT command seems to work fine though

Awesome! Thank you Didneywhorl!!!
We use it for regular stuff like streaming, a bit a gaming, and kids homework. At my current 128kb speed, takes about 2min for google mini to respond which was funny at first.

Pretty much all devices have pinouts these days, they just are not labeled like the pic above, see the pic below, it is mifi 8800L

Well, I tried my Novatel/Verizon USB730l, and it was recognized by FreshTomato, but didn't work properly. I gave the Device codes to the lead FreshTomato developer and he wrote a code commit, so that modem will very likely work in the next FreshTomato release. As soon as I get my Novatel USB800 mode...

It will work! I bring mine and road trips so the kids & wife have WiFi in the Min-Van I saw that thank you. I am chumming the waters to see if there have been any reports of issues as well. Our tower just got the 5g upgrade and all adjacent towers have TMHI available.... I've been patient, but....

Long story but I called up to start a T-Mobile Business Internet account. They didn't bother asking me about the actual service address as they were focused on my other address issues registering as a business account (rural life). They are shipping a trash can overnight! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I have several Arlo pro cameras that are located on the far end of the property which were almost out of range. This caused the cameras to disconnect and/or disrupt the video feed. Since the Arlo Base Station operates over the 2.4GHz frequency, I decided to add some higher dbi external WiFi antennas...

After analyzing the code in /usr/lib/wirequard, I found the desired config file in /www/package/wg.conf and wgconf.tar.gz which are created by conf.sh. I had to edit the wg.conf file to get my android phone to accept it (lines beginning with '---' need to be commented). Although the phone attempts t...

Update 1-30-22: It's been around 74 hours and it has not disconnected/gone weird yet. I guess that resolves it. I'm susprised it is that because while I do understand how a wireless carrier might null out connections that are not in use, my VPN connections were still on, so I would figure even the m...

Nevermind... reading helps! the WiFiX NEXP1GO is pretty great.

Thanks for the info The main thing I was looking for was a little better quality and was curious if I turned them or spaced them apart a little more if it would help. I did just what you said and tried it. I lost a little signal strength on one but I assume that was from lowering it down my pole som...

Is there a new firmware for the NEXR5GO router. It now has GoldenOrb 2021-03-09. I really have never been thrilled with the response on that router and was wondering if there is a firmware upgrade. I didn't see anything at Of Modems and Men. Define "response on that router" Every action i...

I have been using the archer A7 Router with Quectel EM160R-GL modem in a USB3 enclosure and 2-2x2 antennas from Wireless Haven with ATT tablet plan for well over a month now. It lost connection one time several weeks ago and I had to restart it. Been what I would call a rock solid setup.

Hello, trying to get Gma some decent internet in the boonies w/ Visible by verizon. Previously, I had an Unlimited LTE sprint card in an MC7455(PCI/USB/Antenna adapter) routed to a TP-link with Rooter installed (ofmodemsandmen). This worked great. I pulled 100+ mbps. NOW I have Visible unlimited, t...

You can use most any driver for that stick, the correct class of course, and I meant windows, the first thing a guy should do is disable driver signing check and put your os into test mode, that will help to alleviate some of the driver issues.

Hello all, Have had my uncle set up on this and has had no issues for like a year now or more. He called yesterday and said it was out. Went over there today Immediately put the sim into a phone and got a connection. So next looked at the setting and etc. Noticed that the "PDP Contexts" ha...

I finally figured out that the device was carrier locked to AT&T. The Seller gave me an unlock code that worked. Now the web interface shows all screens. Novatel told me that I don't need to install drivers for the other devices at all if I just want to use the dongle in host mode. However, I'm ...

If anyone were trying to do something similar, the easiest way would be to download the Postman browser app or something similar for naming and organizing your web calls. It can generate cURL commands for pasting in terminal, but is really just a great source of truth. If it's working in Postman, yo...

I’ve done a fresh firmware a few times. Thank you. Haven’t messed with firmware on tbe modem

In case you can use it, here is the AT Command Reference Guide for the USB730l.

I know there are sometimes risks if you use the wrong AT command, but hopefully, this might still help.

FWIW, my MOFI 4500 is still going strong at the moment. If 3G is actually shut down now, it didn't affect me.

The information here is from my own research and experiments. If you know better, please do share. The standard way to classify hotspot/tether traffic on mobile networks is through the the APN settings. Android phones will set this through a hidden dun APN entry, while modems will only have metered ...

Hi man, I will answer your pm here. I am surprised you dont know about this, I flashed and sold mifis with this for about 10 years, it kept my stores alive during hard retial times.

Since folks keep installing my old circle_jerk mod on top of Voxel and gumming up the works I've removed all references to CJ in the OP. The relevant pieces of CJ info were moved to its github page for posterity.
