Ah I see now. Those flat panels are definitely going to have to come down the road, I am going to need about 100' (x2 50') of that LMR400 cable. So that setup is going to end up costing me $250+.

Maybe I can get a set of those paddle antennas for now and just lock band 30 for a little ...

Hello everyone I am back with another question on CA.

But that will be fair down the road ...

What would be the hex code for bands 14, 30, & 66 or for 4, 14, 30 & 66?

I am have a hard time finding the value for band 30

right now I am returning:
+QCFG: "band",0x260,0x2000000003300185a,0x0

Currently it default connects to band 2 and 15

If it ever connect to 30 or 66 my speeds go from ...

For Linux users, I wrote a little shell script to display LTE band values.

while [ $LBAND -le 48 ]

done

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

Hello,
Those flat panel antennas are very good for sure if you want those down the road.

To band lock to band 30 and 12 this is the command below.
AT+QCFG="band",0,20000800
Now remember this will not make 30 your primary just will make the those two the only two available to it.

If you decide ...

I have little to no experience with the Quectel line of modems, although I will need to figure them out since we will be stocking them on the store.

Hello,
Was looking thru the info on the link in this chat.
Showing the AT commands for the Quectel EP06-A AT commands for bandlock.
I have the Quectel EC25-AF.
Does anyone know if the AT commands are the same on it as the Quectel EP06-A?



Enter the following AT commands, and write down your ...

Set Connection Modes
AT+QCFG="usbnet",0 - QMI/PPP/Default
AT+QCFG="usbnet",1 - ECM
AT+QCFG="usbnet",2 - MBIM



Caution should always be exercised when changing the composition of a modem.

All bands for the EP06-E specifically:
AT+QCFG="band",8d0,7e00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000ff000001a0880800d5,0

That should read:

AT+QCFG="band",8d0,1a1880800d5,0

The router will need roughly 60W-70W of available power for itself on poe. 72W POe injectors are what I use, the The Wireless Haven store on facebook has them.

The cat20 modem will FOR SURE work better, it will just be overkill for your router. A cat 6 modem is great, a cat 12, like the Quectel ...

Hello,
Yes need a splitter. Looked at the one you linked. Believe it said 1.5 amps. Not enough power to run the modem. Your modem will fail and disconnect without enough power. Look at this one.

I would guess 65 or 66. Set it and check to see if your data is counting as hotspot data or not. Dont forget the ipv6 'ttl' (HL)

I use TTL 64 for T-Mobile

The latest version fw for the EM160R-GL is version A04. (EM160RGLAUR02A04M4G)

Though I do not yet have a copy, I only have A03 on file. The newest modems received already have A04 on them.

Try running the latest firmware version WG1608-GO2020-12-02, it usually contains bug fixes.

The EM16 is a new modem, and probably will come with the latest firmware anyway. When contacting Quectel support, they require you to include the ...

It should be fine to use an adapter, but I would get a usb to m.2 direct adapter.

Thanks for sharing that. Good stuff.

Hi Didney, this is what Quectel sent me for firmware:

https://arkomasurvey-my.sharepoint.com/:u:/p/joshkelly/EfcNUHd4D91MsMN_odY2kNQBo8AhsxEplOkEwrxiLDTFOA?e=4nngYo

Not sure how to get it in a format for the flash tool though. Quectel did say to use tool 4.19 or higher to flash.


That is the ...

Are you mixing the antennas?

One 2x2 MIMO antenna should be attached to M and D/6 and the other 2x2 MIMO antenna should be hooked to M1 and M2. If they are mixed you will have issues I believe.

iptables should apply the mangle to all traffic through the interface specified. I think at least.

Any ideas why all my smart devices, ie tp-link light switches and honey well themorstat will not work after swapping out the we826 with the wg1608? I have an edge router 12 and a tplink ap for my network.
