If you got the APN down, the TTL changed, and the IMEI changed, can a carrier really do anything? They might only terminate your account on the basis of extreme usage but how would they be able to find out you're actually using a router device instead?


Just to add a bit to BillA's answer ...

And finally, regarding the 7455 modem in MOFI.
BTW, if one wants to see how MOFI interacts with the modem he can simply login to MOFI using SSH, open minicom session and use the MOFI GUI - all AT commands sent to the modem will be printed/echoed on the screen. But having an opened minicom session ...

I should respectfully disagree about VPN in general - it was used in the past, is being used now, will be used in future.


Nowadays virtually all sites are using https connection, and by using a VPN you're just double encrypting the connection, which is an overkill in my opinion (both in terms of ...

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 ...

Just one persons opinion though!
Fear the Mofi :twisted:


Also decided to share my personal option about MOFI. Yes, I also have bad experience with getting answers to technical questions - asked twice or 3 times, no response. But when I was buying the MOFI and was communicating with sales dep ...

.6mbps <=> My iPhone will pull 10mbps.


several things to note:

a) Generally speaking the LTE modem in you iPhone(assuming that we are talking about reasonably new version) is light years ahead of the modem installed in MOFI. But at such speed (10 mbps) it is hardly matters, MOFI modem is CAT ...

Hello,

first of all, please start from making a backup of your device. If something goes wrong then you can restore (most of the time with small exceptions) the configuration of your MOFI in 37 seconds.

For users having more than 1 internet connection and wanted to run a primitive load balancing - there is an open source GUI utility called Network Monitor.

I played with it for a week and I am quite impressed. I used a ...

Okay. Here's another question for ya. On my phone connected to my pc I get a average pung of 60-70. On my mofi I get a ping of 100-300 and it's all over the place. No idea what's happening. I get better signal and everything. Even tried the same bands and towers. I have two towers less than 2 ...

Why does my cell phone significantly outperform my MOFI (speed wise):
https://wirelessjoint.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1457&p=9973#p9681

Why does my cell phone can download stuff just fine and my MOFI is extremely slow, - is the wireless network provider treating it differently?
https ...

heartbeating and am really glad I did not get the MOFI.
For one, if MOFI continues to do this, segregating MOFI traffic by an ISP will be trivial.
It seems extremely short sighted on their part at best and planned obsolescence at worst.


Let me respectfully disagree with you. Have you seen what ...

I have a one month old WE826-GO that seems to reboot itself randomly. I use LTE for internet, via MC7455, and it is not that the internet disconnects, but the router reboots. The WiFix network is not visible from PC for about two minutes and then when the WE826-GO boots back up it reconnects ...

Interesting indeed.
a) open source - if one wants he can audit the code;
b) after installing Wincap driver it is possible to load balance two interfaces in the very simply way;
c) just look how easy is to manage different routes using the wizard - knowing how to manage the routes from command line I ...

So, I finally scheduled a script via cron on the router using WGET to Cloudflare DNS on port 80 every minute and if it failed just power toggle the modem and not bounce the box.


This is very clever idea, this is how the connection monitor is implemented in MOFI, you have a choice of pinging or ...

Hello,
all necessary info is here:

Thanks for the answers :-) Actually I came to the same conclusion, the tower simply does not support B2,B4 aggregation although it has no problem with using them individually.
At some point I noticed that when the band lock is not set then my MC7455 can have CA enabled for B7 (20Mhz)+B7(20Mhz)(this ...

Sure no problem at all...


Thanks! The script is great but I am not sure about DNS check though.
The following post can be of interest to someone curious about the difference between ping vs DNS check.

What modem firmware are you using again?

I've heard the earlier versions don't work with this command, but I tried with A05 and it isnt working. I wonder if it is dependent on certain parameters. hmmmm...... <squirrelWheels>


I think I figured out what is the problem (I use EM160RGLAUR02A05M4G ...

And one more thing: whether or not one should upgrade the firmware of his EM160R. I checked the release notes available here:

for ver. 05 they say the following:

If it ain't broke, don't fix it :) Can you please elaborate more on the virtual machine method? Am I understanding correctly that with that method I could upgrade my Quectel modem firmware without having to use an M.2 to usb adapter? Thank you!

That would be my choice as well. Your modem requires more power comparing to the older CAT4 - CAT6 modems and having a separate power ...

I see, this is well within capabilities of WE826. Actually, I have seen the same situation (30-40 Mbps down/ 3-15 Mbps up) when I tried my new WG1608 + EM160R and compared it with WE826 using MC7455 / EM12G. To me it meant that all modems connected to the same bands and ...

Hello,

I used QFlash v.5.1 , drivers Quectel_LTE&5G_Windows_USB_Driver_V2.1 and the firmware EM160RGLAUR02A08M4G.zip(firmware files from the dir. firehose) and my EM160R has been successfully upgraded.
It's a pity that qfirehose could not upgrade the firmware to the latest version in place (on ...

Hello,

I dont know if it still matters but both interfaces use devices with the same MAC address - I believe this is wrong since MAC addresses for all devices must be unique.

Hello,

I found some free time and built QFirehose on WG1608 (after installing extroot since this device does not have enough memory to install all necessary tools) - upgrade of EM160 firmware installed in the router actually works (should work for other Quectel modems too).

But there is a problem ...
