Re: Suggestion for best method on load balancing

Is there a reason for going with 2x WG3526-P instead of using 1x WG3526-P and a USB enclosure for the second modem? ROOter has modem load balancing built in.

As for power requirements:
802.11af does 15.4 watts
802.11at does 30 watts
12v 2.5A is 30 watts.

That all said, I doubt there is any ...

Automated Flashing/Upgrading for all EM/MC74XX modems.

I've written a bash script to automate the entire process of setting up any of the EM/MC74XX series modems (Generic, Dell, Lenovo). This assumes you have the Sierra card inserted into a USB enclosure.

From the script description:

Re: WG3526-P Router w/Sierra MC7455 Modem inside a DM25X19 Antenna

5MHz B26, ouch. That is gonna be an issue. Total peak bandwidth on a 5MHz carrier in 2x2 MIMO is ~37Mbps.
See: https://frankrayal.com/2011/06/27/lte-peak-capacity/

Your SINR and RSRQ are also very low. So the fact that you are getting terrible speeds is not at all surprising. You have about the ...

Re: WG3526-P Router w/Sierra MC7455 Modem inside a DM25X19 Antenna

Well, for starters, that is not a Sprint tower you are connected to. You can tell because Sprint does not have any Band 4 towers.
If you enter AT!GSTATUS? a few times, you should see it cycle through a few carriers over the course of a few minutes. The modem will do this with no SIM or with a SIM ...

Re: WiFiX Firmware for WE826 | WG3526 | WE3926 | WE1326 | WE1026-5G | WE3526

Yes, there is a Read Me text document that, among other things, addresses this issue. For convenience, I will list the contents below:


Firmware should only be updated using an Ethernet cable from the
LAN port of the router to the PC/Laptop network (ethernet) plug.
