Re: Anyone having connection issues recently on AT&T?


I’m using a $50/m Autopay AT&T plan on a x750 spitz running GoldenOrb. Signal strength is around 40% and stays on B4 most of the day and does CA with B66 or B12 when I’m assuming the tower is congested.

I’ll get disconnected normally once a day or less per my connection log and I have connection ...

Re: New ZBT WG1608 5G-ready router + GoldenOrb firmware


And it works with ps4? My only problem is connect to PlayStation network.



Most mobile carriers provide a "private IP" address instead of a public one which is required for some gaming consoles.

Re: WG1608 ping wont work, but internet is fine


Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. I am quite experienced with most networking stuff but GoldenOrb is a bit new to me.



I would try the following.

1.
Reflash the router with the latest GoldenOrb firmware in bootloader mode.

Re: Netgear M1


Your Device that you are sharing the data to, needs to have TTL (Time to Live) Set to something non-standard, like 65.

Windows CMD: netsh int ipv4 set glob defaultcurhoplimit=65

Might work. Might present noise. Not really sure. I should try sometime.

It would probably work, but you would have to play around with the antennas "pairs" to see which combination works best on two 2xMIMO modems.

Re: MC7455 / EM7565 vs. Quectel EP06 IMEI Change

Even if you didn't have the right TTL should still get the 5 down cap. Getting .75 is some other issue would think.



0.75Mbps sounds like a throttled speed, which could be due to several reasons.

1. Lack of signal (simple as that)
