Hey, new member but long time cellular guy. So, with the issue isn't that your not getting the signal... It's that you sim isn't provisioned. That's the normal message that happens when an unactivated sim is fired up on T-Mobile. I was a long time user of OTR Mobile but with their shady business ...

When I log in to the Mofi control panel once things have gone down, and try to do the "Internet connection test" from the main screen it does indeed fail. However, when I go to System>>Diagnostics, and do things like run a ping test to openwrt.org or do a traceroute, they work and return live ...

Hi,

Another owner of MOFI4500 4GXeLTE SIM4COMBO is here.

The fact that you cannot get access to a webserver using HTTP _but at the same time you can use previously initialized TCP/IP connection tells us that most likely there is a problem with DNS (domain name resolution). This is when you can ...

So the SIM card is active.

Since it was working before you lost power, and it will no longer connect, I would first make sure the APN is entered and spelled correctly since resetting the firmware to its defaults would have erased it. And, SAVE & APPLY and hard reboot the router.

I am wondering ...

When you run tbe command AT+GSN does it return the original imei or a modified number?

If its not the number your ATT account expects, then that is likely your issue.

We cannot discuss IMEI changes but I can tell you it may be good to backup any changes made to the modem to flash memory via the ...

Been there done that...
The problem is the T-mobile service I subscribed to. All of the problems I have had are based on the plan. Simply Unlimited Prepaid did not support my expectations. For a few $more everything is working with a postpaid plan.

You can use the above speed test sites, though you'll have a pretty short amount of time for testing, so here's a direct link to iTunes download which should give you several minutes of a testing window for carrier aggregation.

A heat sink and fan will help keep it as close to the ambient temp as possible, but I'd expect it to still stay around 60c if your attic is baking at 53c all day. Could you just mount it to the ceiling and pop the cable down through one of those brush faceplates?

How does the Golden Orb firmware compare to the Mofi firnware?

First surgery done on my WG3526. I replaced the EC25-AF with a EM12-G. Fairly straightforward. I was under the impression that the EM12-G had three antenna ports for 3x MIMO. This is not the case. It has Main, Div, and GNSS antenna ports. I drilled and added the third port anyway, as I bought the ...

As a side note (and a FYI), although there is no performance issue or lack of connectivity due to it, the modem active LED ("3G/4G") on the WG3526 is no longer functioning while using the EM12-G (located in a PCI-E to M2 adapter).

Testing has shown the LED is functional, and can be manually ...

I'm also toying with the idea of scrapping the RPi and associated software and instead use pfsense on a small x86 system....

pfsense is almost certainly out of the running. The only way FreeBSD (the OS under pfsense) supports LTE modems is via ppp. That limits performance to the 20mb/sec ...

The best bang for your buck would probably be a WG3526 router with a cat12 Sierra card inside (the pci-e one, so you don't need the M.2 adapter), the The Wireless Haven flat panel mimo antenna (15dbi), and enough lmr240 with proper connectors to hook it all up. That should come up to somewhere ...

The Global Cell Id is hex. Convert the first 5 characters to decimal and that will equate to the eNB ID shown on cellmapper.
