I experimented with the dual SIM setup sometime ago.

From referencing my notes, you must first enable the dual Sim functionality in the modem:

AT!ENTERCND="A710"
AT!CUSTOM="UIM2ENABLE",1
AT!RESET

The SIM cards will be references as "0" for SIM card Slot 1 and SIM card Slot 2 as "1" as shown ...

What type of coax cables are you using, and how long are they?

It is not uncommon to lose more through cabling that what is otherwise being gained by the antennas.

I would use THIS calculator as a start.

You can use the Huawei Terminal.

Well I seem to have sort of made progress. I ran Huawei Terminal as Admin and was able to issue the following commands.

The EP06-A does not have Band 41. Only the EP06-E and then it lacks a lot of the other bands. This is the reason we stock the EM06-A which ...

You can download GoldenOrb for the WRT32X HERE. It is a fairly new build and not listed on the last build list.

This is what it should show on restore to OEM:

WiFiX and GoldenOrb firmware by default assings and sends the APN as IPV4V6. There are occasions when an APN will requires an IPV4 address.

The first task is to check each and everyone of these steps in the troubleshooting guide.

Also, and depending on modem, it is most times best to use the generic firmware.

The spreadsheet has been updated for the corrections that jhend pointed out.

Using the incorrect AT Commands to change the composition of an EM7565/EM7511/MC7411 mode to QMI and/or MBIM is a common mistake which results in removing the modem's AT Command port.

Most generally this occurs when using the AT Commands on the EM7565/EM7511 that apply to the EM/MC74XX modems. The ...

I would first make sure I knew exactly where the tower is, and that it is a T-Mobile tower.

Then, mount the antennas and aim them exactly at the tower, and tilted upwards a few degrees.

Make sure the cables are hooked to the MAIN and the AUX connector ports of the router (i.e., not the GPS ...

The first thing I would do is to download the latest WiFiX firmware, and use the Firmware Recovery Method to install it.

I would then flash it a second time from within the WiFiX UI.

They are currently out of stock. Have a new shipment on order and will be here mid month.

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 do not believe the firmware builds for the WE1326 have the drivers for the Quectel modems.

OpenWRT based firmware does not support the EM20-G other than MBIM with no AT COM port. Therefore, a patch must be used to communicate with the modem.

The drivers for the modems like Option, QMI, MBIM, etc are "kmod" packages which means they are included in the compiled kernel of OpenWrt. They are ...

It would depend on which version of the MC7355 you have. If it is OEM MC7355 there should not be an issue with adding its PID/VID using the method outlined above.

I have never cross-flashed a MC7355 with MC7354 firmware, and not sure why you would require it.
