Unfortunately trying to make a living has gotten into the way of side projects in my life. I have not had a chance to spend any time on this project. Hope to get back to projects like this in the near future.


Yes indeed. I am sorry to hear of the struggles. I hope you can get back to it soon if ...

In general expect every US provider to become brokers of LTE data. Voice/text is going LTE too.

As a result, focus on maximizing ROI on LTE investments/BW goes up.

ATT's internal metric this quarter is reaching $13/GB (not roaming which is $120/GB, crazy I know). They are going to try tune all ...

I know that this thread is a bit old, but I’ve done some simple tests using the internal antenna connectors.

I wasn’t happy with the drilling holes in the front strategy, so I modified the board a bit and soldered on a couple of U.FL connectors alongside the proprietary antenna connectors. Don’t ...

I bought some connectors to do this but looked to hard to Solder them on.
This is what I did do which helped getting better connection on the two normal ports. Only issue is solder is very weak if you put pressure on it. So over time they start to get loose. Don't know if I would recommend doing ...

Worked with data without even being activated yet. No phone number appeared in my settings and I got these results....

I'll be placing it in a Netgear LB1120 that a relative of mine has for their small business. They have a tower basically ...

***9/15/20 UPDATE***
After some actual "production" testing (i.e. my wife and older son going through a couple weeks of at home learning) I'm finding that my chosen solution, Adam:ONE, was having some intermittent latency spikes as they don't have first tier anycast (routing DNS queries to the ...

Ok day 2 still going strong. I haven't been tracking my data usage but I used it last night at home for like 3 hours worth of Netflix. I placed it in that Netgear modem today (CAT4 with shit banding that I bought intitaly as I got into LTE stuff)
Here's the speed tests from that:

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone in this thread. I've been on Calyx with a very poor connection for the last few years. My wife and I switched our main phone service to Visible this year and I just looked at switching our Calyx service to Visible and found this thread. I'm using an MC7455 on a ...

Well it went out last night. Testing around 0.5 Mbps now. Definitely not unthrottled lol
Lasted a while though on light use. If it really is free for life it would make a great supplemental SIM or regular phone/tablet SIM. I'll have to see how it performs after the month resets.

Do your devices (hotspots/modems) now connect to Sprint bands as well? I live in an area where Tmo is lacking severely but Sprint has always been strong. Curious is Tmo is now using Sprint simultaneously and seamlessly or not.

You are getting capped at 5Mbps sometimes and not all the time tells me you are leaking hotspot data. Do your rules look like this https://wirelessjoint.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&p=12134#p12131 with TTL set at 65,66, or 67 instead? You want to ping the router from your PC with a TTL of 65 reply ...

I don't mean to nitpick but is NoLimitData really a MVNO? My understanding is that the likes of Mint, PagePlus and the carrier owned retailers like Visible and Cricket are MVNOs with agreements with the carriers and I think regulated by the FCC. The resellers seem to be simply reselling plans which ...

NP on being curious that is my I am here on this form.
Before this was watching YouTube videos on how RV campers were getting internet.
It was ok at first but quickly flatline on the knowledge and felt my IQ points start to drop. :lol:

I was happy to find this form board with a honey pot of ...

Ok, I am all good on the two EM7455's. I sat down and ran through both modems using my ole standby method which Jim wrote up some time back in a Google doc. Thanks to all who gave me tips.

Hello terryjett,
Know you have experience with EM7455 modems connecting to Visible. We could use your help ...

Hey all - I just came across this message board and this post today researching something and figured I'd register and reply.

I solved this issue on my router finally a few month ago and it was an issue of buffer bloat and overload due to MTU settings. By default the MTU setting on the router is ...

Hey so just reporting back.

First off found out a few things regarding the MTU I reported on earlier, the Sierra modems lock down the MTU of the hardware to 1430 so you will in fact have issues if you specify an MTU over 1430 - meaning you should populate 1430 all the way down the line from your ...

I can confirm as well. Band 41, 25, and 26 in some areas are straight GONE, or neutered. It may come back, but Tmobile is wreaking havoc on the Sprint networks. You should get on Sprints online chat feature for tech support and ask for the status of your tower.

Im having an issue with my ZBT 1608 with an EM20-g. When I'm downloading after a few minutes of download, the router looses connection and resets . After it resets , it locks on to band 17. I have it locked to band 12 with ca on band 2 and 66. I never had this issue when I had it installed in a ...

I'm gutting mine and as it turns out the holes inside that hold in the PCB happen to exactly line up with two of the holes on the WE826-T2.

I have a EM7511 in it for band 41. Waiting on a POE bulkhead ethernet and 2.1mm splitter to get her from The Wireless Haven as well as a 2.1mm right angle ...

"I am not against anything you said. Against what visible said. On website says no throttling on device itself. And mine starting doing it for some reason."

All cool man, just did not want you to think I saying total internet replacement option :) Right now I am streaming homeland on hulu and ...

Played around with it a little last night and realized that I was getting a much worse signal on B25 but my download speeds were still a lot better. So next step, I'm going to build a B25 double biquad centered on 1900MHz to see how well it works. May even try a triple biquad... should be much ...

Here is what has worked for me...and it is from advice received from other posts on this forum.

I have a Verizon iPad plan, a WE826 router flashed to current GoldenOrb firmware, and a EM06-A modem.

I start up the router without any setting changes, other than the Verizon SIM is inserted.

I can ...

Does the simplemobile carrier you posted earlier have the same latency issues as visible does using Verizon?



SimpleMobile uses Tmobile towers with truly unlimited data for only $50/month. I've been using around 500gigs/months for the past 5 years, and seen others go over 1,000gigs (that's 1 ...

Everything I have seen so far, including the "magic" mirrors the EM7565 and em7511 modem. No definite info yet though.

Same experience here with the 7411's.

Hey Wireless Joint community.

I have a few of the newest version of the H721 router that I am willing to give at a deal price in return for a full, 100% honest no holding out, review here on the hacks forum.

$115 including shipping cost

This router had a rocky start at the beginning and ...

In case anyone else ends up at this thread, I was facing what I think is the same issue. I was trying to get expresspvn working in client mode on:

Model WE1326v5
Architecture MediaTek MT7621 ver:1 eco:3
Firmware Version GoldenOrb_2019-04-09
