Verizon bought Simple Mobile. Worst experiences with carrier service since then. They pushed updating your equipment to '4G capable' (whether its already 4G capable or not) and tried to make you upgrade your device. All 3 of my lines were newer samsung phones (2 were 5G capable) and they still force...

Best Effort, anyone????

Thanks for the reply! I figured it out -- turns out it was a simple Quectel AT command... AT+QETH="rgmii","ENABLE",1,0 //Enable RGMII data call of COMMON mode and perform data call with the default APN. By running this command, the rmnet_data0 interface automatically gets set up ...

The .16 says it's for Canada only per the documentation. Very interested what you are able to successfully connect to if you are US-based. I'd really like to be able to migrate to 5g and those modems have a nice price. /edit: what that documentation means vs reality of that hardware I'm not sure but...

I just ordered one of these modems (aka X55, aka L83053-005, aka T99W175.16) for my laptop, so I was researching whether it would be supported in Rooter for testing purposes. I hope to receive it this weekend. I know with Quecte1 RM5x, the AT command to change between USB and PCI is AT+QCFG="da...

I have been using a WG1608 for a few weeks now and am really underwhelmed by the router. I'd have rather bought something without a m.2 and used a USB enclosure for the modem. Dual core, 16 or 32 megs rom, 128 or 256 megs ram, at best ac1200 - it's a low-end 8+ year old router with only one redeemin...

Ok thanks for trying man

Those little things look like fun, almost bought one a few weeks ago to fool with. I'd check 4pda.to with translate on and maybe whirlpool as those seem to be highly active forums.: /edit: While considering purchasing it was difficult to find tech details on the little guy so I ended up finding this...

Nevermind. If you add the modem VID:PID to the mhi driver source and rebuild it will recognize the HP variant. After reboot the kernel will recognize the modem properly. Luckily ModemManager also recognized the modem without edits and everything seems to be working properly under linux (ubuntu). I w...

Dude you saved me more than you know. Got a new setup and for whatever reason couldn't get my speeds up unless I used a VPN. I've never had any trouble with how I changed the ttl but I ran across this just now and like magic I have 160mbps internet again. My family was really starting to lose faith ...

Made an account simply to reply to this thread. First, thanks OP for the great information. Was trying to figure out how to use ip6tables to bypass hotspot. I then learned ip6tables doesn't use TTL, but instead, HL. So thanks for showing me how to get it setup! The original code would set the wwan0 ...

For anyone else with strange issues, this thing is a whiny baby, and firewall/routing fully finishes after the dial-up connection is established so will not pass data, although it shows a WAN IP. Setting AT+QCFG="nwscanmode",3,1 to AT+QCFG="nwscanmode",0,1 (auto scan type) delaye...

There is an AT command At!selrat=? you can send to sierra modems and specifically on the em91xx series modems you can choose to do "5G Only" and it will only run 5G SA mode if it's available, which with T-Mobile it usually is especially with n71

Didneywhorl I don't remember where I saw it, what I do remember is mofi basically saying the EM9191 is the best. Okay, I'll just pay extra for Wireless Haven to update the firmware. I have no idea how to do any of this stuff so that tutorial would be a great help. My house is showing the mountain i...

If you sort through the 2nd log you will find : Sun Sep 4 12:33:46 2022 user.info mwan3track[12895]: Check (ping) failed for target "1.1.1.1" on interface wan1 (wwan0). Current score: 10\ Sun Sep 4 12:33:50 2022 user.info mwan3track[12895]: Check (ping) failed for target "1.0.0.1"...

All good advice. I ended up chasing everything. Now I have Starlink, T-Mob Home Internet (With outside 4x4 antenna hacks), 2 ATT tablet plans, and an ATT hotspot plan.
Sure, it's redundant but what the heck. There is always something that works!!

@Didneywhorl
Good to know thank you. I'd have to see how to do it.

I looked on this map https://maps.t-mobile.com/pcc.html?map=mvno-roamd-5 band 71 and n71 have the Outdoors icon, what does that mean?

PSA/FYI, for anyone looking into the SimCom 8200ea-m2, there's a 4-antenna version and a 6-antenna version available, and many/most sellers don't make clear the distinction. The 4-antenna version only supports a subset of the LTE and 5g/NR bands supported by the 6-antenna version, and thus is not su...

Depends on which Visible. Visible "classic" uses the old APNs and cloud servers. The new Visible+ plans are what's running directly on the verizon backbone.

"That's 100% no go for any openWRT router that I know of, like the 1608, as they all use the USB bus for modem interface." That they use USB bus was suspected by me.. A couple of odd items versions of ModemManager do support: * Foxconn SDX55 T99W175 5G sub6 PCIE Modem and the latest openwr...

I started with all types of routers up to my last the WRT32x which is about as fast as they get. I was still being limited by hardware so jumped to "minipc" and never looked back. The MiniPC's can be much more powerful and can come with many more options such as mPCIe port (with pcie and u...

I know this thread is a little older but i just wanted to post my experience. I'm sure they make a good product but their support is terrible. I opened a ticket and waited many days for them to respond. I then responded to that ticket and told them if they aren't going to help then I was going to re...

I have several MoFi5500-5GXeLTE cellular modems (there is more than one model). All are in service in rural areas with poor cellular coverage. I get better service than what's available from any of the other ISPs in the area that use different technology. If you have minimal computer management skil...

Woot! Round 1: success. =Confirmed the modem is not DOA.. The converter had ordered arrived a week early so was able to complete the testing on the mini-PC Windows...

I used ubuntu. Once installed and updated search on the ubuntu wiki for 'BuildYourOwnKernel' and follow the 'apt-get' kernel build instructions so you can build for your installed version. There may be some hickups along the way but you can rebuild and work your way through until successful. Don't f...

I will give that a try and see what happens. Thanks

Wow - that was it! THANKS x 1000! Those few AT command are the golden ticket 8-) Here's a recap ...

This is a tough one. So many variables. Likely the issue is a firewall issue not allowing the nest products to ping the home server, or vice versa, via IPV4 or IPV6 (ICMPv6). VPN services do not use IPv6, so that is likely the fail there if it has to be transmitted over IPv6. The latest routers use...

Hey AlteredLogic, This thread has bounced around quite a bit. I understand that is a lot of money. What you might try to do is do some serious research on what signals are available with the carriers you have access to. As Didneywhorl suggested, its not all hardware in the end, the available signal ...

Thanks, I got it working using the above.

Well said, I originally was talking about a full refund, I don't think a full refund should be an issue but I do believe if they can't do that then there should be some sort of return, if not full then around half. Interesting, I may have to look into that, I appreciate you letting me know. Indeed, ...

There are reports on /r/visible that the new Visible plans aren't playing well in routers. My classic visible plan works even without the personality transplant.

So of interest.... 1st Linux is being a royal pain to get the recompile to complete.. both plenty if issues and a royal pig when coming to CPU use.. anyone trying just incase.. the 'make' function is single threaded.

Try the M5 by itself and not hiding behind the mesh you have in place and see if it still does it if it doesn't then you know to look at whats in front of the m5, if it does then you know to look at the M5 and or the service, it would be super easy to write a script that would reboot it every so oft...

The connection needs to be randomly reset I believe, ATT has been choking connections that are on a tower for a while. Could be wrong, but the "Reset fixed it" is the tell tale. couple years ago when i first had the "grand father accounts" you buy on ebay, they did crack down on...

Well dont recomend upgrading to that firmware! sp138337 = T99W175.F0.1.0.0.9.GC.004 071 IS a no no! Crashing firmware seems to be worse on it.. So things are pretty unstable. Will be away for a bit so will look at it when back. Plan is if there is not a updated ver will reach out to HP again and ask...

It wasn’t all bad though. I did get some epic pictures of an old train bridge on the way

Thank you so much for trying to help... I really appreciate. I feel at least I can speak with someone who knows more than me here (Telit support is not really helping)... So, polling with AT#SIMDET? is the only way to get the modem to at least detect a change in the SIMIN pin... To be more precise a...

This one just turns Wifi on and off constantly. I downloaded wifi analyzer app and see it constantly turn on and off. Definitely something wrong with it.

Update: just got my new 1.13mm MHF4 antenna pigtails to SMA bulkhead connector to replace the 0.81mm ones that come with the wg1608. HUUUUUUGE improvement in the RSRP for both the main and diversity antennas on each pair AND fixed the issue where one of each pair was getting a significantly worse si...

I am using 2 Tmobile home internets, One has a tablet sim. The problem I have is they can not be changed from the stock network of 192.168.12.1. So if in my best life I would get the NexP1 to do the load balancing and use all 3 networks(2 modems and Tmobile router with tablet sim) and the one Home i...

That is a usable upload speed. Allot of cable company internet service uploads are not much more than that.

That is a usable upload speed. Allot of cable company internet service uploads are not much more than that.

I actually ordered a 4.0 amp power adapter when I looked at my order. Not sure if I am using that with the rm502 or the Nexp1. But I did try swapping them a few weeks back as an experiment as it always felt like it was a power problem that kept making the modems and wifi drop in and out and no diffe...

I read the other post about this same issue and that guy gave up and bought a different Thermostat. I'm prepared to win this battle! I will not throw in the towel. lol

It could also be that the antenna is getting equal frequency reception from multiple towers, causing a form of RF noise called 'cross-talk'. Basically if you have more that one source broadcasting the same general frequency ranges, the receiver can see them all but only use the one it's linked to. ...

Well, I bought a pre owned M1 from Mercari last night and hopefully its not black listed, their policy states that if the product does not work I can receive a refund on the product... hopefully I made the right decision.

Didneywhorl,
Apparently my "noob-ness" was showing when I replied to you. I didn't realize you were throwing out a hint to use searching here or elsewhere that would provide some, if not the full range of info regarding the AT command for IMEI. Thank you for doing that.

Thank you very much! I went ahead and ordered Vilo this afternoon.

So, i created a 3D printer .STL file to replicate the lid for the modem enclosure. I added a spot on the top for me to mount a 40mm fan as well to cool the modem. Here is the .STL file if anyone wants to make use of this. Will test the SINR later with and without the faraday tape as well, but ive go...

If it helps,
In my Goldenorb router when I would connect the dynamic interface (464xlat) it would create would not have the TTL Settings applied.
I had to manually go to create a IPV4 and IPV6 iptables rule to apply to that 464xlat interface.
Once I did that, I was completely unthrottled.

I had the same issue with tmobile throttling only video sites and constant buffering about a year ago, but speed test showed full speed - only sites like youtube with video were getting throttled. i found this setting in the tmobile app and turned it on (it was off by default). fixed the problem for...

My experience with setting and un-setting the band locking through the GUI is losing control over the NR5G list. The GUI will allow you to Band Lock both the NSA-5GNR and 5GNR Bands but will only allow you to unlock the NSA-5GNR list. In order to unlock the 5GNR bands, you will need to run the AT co...

It's hard to say. I used to not get n41 to save my life, now I can only get it to do Stand alone n41 and not NSA n41 with the available lte bands. No hardware or settings changes. Aggravating. It's got to be how Tmobile is setting up the towers and bands. Yeah I think so too. Anyway they just email...

Is fine I put it back in the box a sent it back I am going with starlink

Edit: I figured out how to add this script in rooter. It doesn't seem like my dw5821e likes qmi mode, couldn't keep a steady connection, kept rebooting.

Had no issue with them, very impressed with their support actually.

Guys… a bit late to the game but the connectors you all kept saying were ipex connectors and mhf-sw23 and u.fl and such… you are all unfortunately wrong. How do I know? I have dealt with these EXACT same connectors before. They were on the old “signal booster” T-Mobile used to give out. Those “signa...

Hello, I just wanted to spread the word on this little beast of a DIY router. It has a quad core MT7986 A53 chip @2ghz with Wifi6 AX, 2.5gbit ethernet, m.2/mpcie slots, 2gb of ram, and an on-board SIM slot.

Internal space is also too tight to fit it in there, properly.

The problem is the Chinese manufacturers are choosing chips not supported by openWRT. If there is no official image for openWRT, Rooter generally wont spend time on making an image. Many of these IPQ chips have come out over the last few years, the Chinese manufacturers modify their 2015 toolchains...

I think I've figured out my issue. I'd previously locked to bands n25 & n41. I noticed I'd occasionally get 200+Mbps but it was extremely unstable. When it happened the modem was connecting to n41 with 2 -> -2 SNR whereas on n25 my SNR is 14+ as long as I'm not saturating the connection. So I ch...
