Wireless Joint

Update. After trying a few things out I decided to tryout the sim in my LB1120 and sure enough it came up 3G there as well. So after putting back in my Cricket sim and having it stuck in 3G. I was frustrated to say the least. However after deleting and redoing the APN the LB1120 with the Cricket ...

No problem.
To try to explain it all better. Red Pocket sells data only plans good for a month at a time utilizing AT&T as the carrier. They are supposed to be LTE. and not speed limited although they are not prioritized like a normal AT&T customer.

After first setting up my new router/modem ...

The subject of getting a wireless data only connection at your home is a bit complex. First off does your cell phone provide you with a good data connection? You can find what the readings are usually in the settings area and under the system >About phone and than sim card status. Mine for instance ...

Doing some looking at what you have it appears to be a small battery powered hotspot made by ZTE. It does have a external antenna connection so it would be possible to add an external antenna. I could not make out if it was MIMO with two antenna option however. My experience with external antennas ...

There are several Tutorials on this Forum for a DIY approach. I would read them and see if you feel comfortable with giving it the attempt. I am not one of the Forum experts on it as I just recently built a setup myself and have been reading all that I can on the subject. I have used battery powered ...

Enter the AT command: at!gstatus? In the Modem> Miscellaneous area.

A Forum tutorial on finding connection issues discusses how to interpret what you see. It is at: https://wirelessjoint.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=14

I hope it works out for you safely. Make sure you have a person around to call the paramedics if not.

If you started out all good than your issue is unlikely your setup. More likely AT&T determined that you were using Data at such a rate as to be violating their policy. Your MVNO might have a solution if they have a deal with AT&T for how much Data and in what type of device you are using it in. You ...

The Orbi wireless modem router is fairly recent but should work with Cricket since it is advertised to be AT&T complaint. I use a Netgear LB1120 with the Cricket Simply data 20gb plan (since April) and it works great. I did have to go through one of their stores to get it signed up and pay the extra ...

Based on your experience and requirements I think you have maxed out what you can reasonably expect using work arounds like consumer phone plans sims in routers. About the only thing I could suggest is you go to the business sections of the wireless company world and see what they might have for ...

It is rather complicated but the short answer is no it will not double your speed or double your bandwidth (which is just a fancy way of saying D/L, U/L speed). If you have a max data allotment than having two accounts would double your total data amount.

There are ways to divide the work of ...

Check your APN settings. My LB1120 has only one APN listing and that is
Name: Cricket mht
APN: mht
Authentication: none
PDP: IPV4
PDP Roaming: IPV4

I have been running my LB1120 on Cricket Simply Data since April 2020 without problems. But I got the sim from a Cricket store and gave them my ...

No I am using the 2020-12-16 firmware. Thanks for the link to the latest. However I think I will stick to what I have now since it is working good.

I do notice that my setup does connect to the 'net by itself if I give it a few minutes more time. It is proving to be very stable once connected. I ...

You might not notice any change in speeds by going to a higher cat rated modem. But than again you might be very pleased. Always a gamble as your antenna change out was an example of. I think location and provider plan has more impact on what speeds you can obtain. Your phones speed might be ...

OK, after searching the 'net around this question of switch to router to give more ethernet connections it sounds like it will work. From what I can garner the Gateway will still assign separate DHCP IP addresses to each item connected to the switch. Now for a normal modem that was not a router it ...

Price is too high for what they offer. I can not imagine they will find many takers. The only way I might be interested is if they got their price down under $50/mo, with equipment costs under $200 or free as part of the service.

Quectel AT commands are different than the Sierra and what I gave you might not work with it. You can get the entire AT command set from: https://www.quectel.com/UploadImage/Downlad/Quectel_EM12&EG12&EG18_AT_Commands_Manual_V1.0.pdf

Maybe someone else can give you better advice on which would be ...

Two ways of seeing your connection. You can go to Modem>Network Status>Signal information or you can go to Modem>Miscellaneous and give the AT command: AT!GSTATUS?

Also in Miscellaneous there is Cellular Mode where you can select 4G only.

I just got off the phone after ordering the T-mobile home internet with the new Nokia 4G/5G modem router. Strange that you have to do it by phone instead of online. The process was I went to their website for Home internet and entering my location to check availability. It said it was eligible, took ...

If you read through the discussion at the link I gave you will see them talk about the antenna connection choices on the Gateway. I have the Nokia on order and it is due sometime around the end of this month. Since I live in a rather poor reception area I will be seeing how it all works out.

I ...

You might check to see if Verizon Home Internet is available to you. I realize that is not making use of your present equipment but it is something to consider.

That ZTE MF833V is a dongle adapter. Practically worthless.

...
As far as cost goes, plenty of folks have spent more than $538 for their LTE rigs in remote areas that require antennae on top of whatever modem and other equipment they are using. I've spent almost $1000 over the last 4 years jacking with LTE internet. I think Starlink may be a bargain for ...

There is a couple of threads about the T-Mobile home internet option and adding antennas. The old gateway is no longer being shipped and instead the new Nokia 4/5G gateway is what you get now. So antenna advice about the older Askey gateway is no longer valid. The new gateway uses more standard ...

You are not showing that the sim is recognized. Your modem IMEI is but no sim ICCID number is being displayed. Could be it is not inserted properly.

If you are attempting AT&T why did you not buy a Data plan? Sounds like you are trying to use a phone plan.

What you have posted is your Router status, such as model and memory, and your Wifi Network information (your router is a local network both wireless and wired but not the Internet). Under Modem tab you will find the cellular Network status. Under miscellaneous you can also enter AT commands like ...

You will need a Ethernet cable to hook to your computer and a Lan port on the router. Start by being in off for both the router and your computer. Turn on Router first and allow it to boot up and establish a web connection. Than boot up your computer. You should show a connection to the web at this ...

I do not know why it is but AT&T sometimes provisions a hotspot data only sim in certain devices as being 3G (WCDMA or even HSPSA). You will need to contact them to re-provision or (in some cases) send you a new sim. You are not the one at fault it is the automatic system AT&T uses.

I had the same ...

Before you get too elaborate with antennas have you taken the nighthawk outdoors and checked how it connects? If you get a good connection while outside you might get by with a rather simple mimo flat panel wall mount antenna facing the right direction

I have that Netgear mimo antenna sitting in drawer presently unused. Used it for about a year with my Netgear LB1120 before my present setup. It gives a very small boost to signal and is in my opinion not worth the money. Which at that Amazon link Dr-BroadBand gave I notice is much more than I paid ...

Cell phone plans with unlimited data are what many use to try for larger data amounts in other devices than the stand alone data plans. Typically data only plans have a set amount and no amount of TTL tweaks changes that. There are a few unlimited data plans such as offered for tablets.

All of ...

Since most of these units are plugged into these wall warts already I doubt your EMI concern is that big of a deal. But Hey whatever a person wants to do.

Cricket sent me a SMS notifying me that my Sierra EM7565 (in a WG3526) would no longer work come Feb 2022 for their Data only plan. They base this on all devices must be VoLTE (HD) after that date. I have known for sometime that Cricket was no longer allowing IMEI's from many cellular modems to be ...

No mention of any cellular modem/routers such as Netgears LM1200 or even the Cradlepoint units

People with vehicle based modems might also be impacted by this stuff.

I stay within TOS. That way I can demand the company I deal with to live up to their end of the bargain.

Probably put the WG3526 with the EM7565 up for sale.

Hello,

...
Hello back,
My location is Arkansas so California law does not help although I appreciate the Information. I have bought a Device that will work and meets requirements (Netgear Mr1100) so my issue is settled. Hope you folks in California are successful in bringing AT&T to heel since ...

I think you will find that traveling full time in a RV with wife and 3 children will provide you with many limitations besides Internet access. However speaking about AT&T shutdown of their 3G network come Feb 22. I have researched it as much as possible and, unless AT&T relents, any device not on ...

...
I repeat this again - I think there are people out there who live in the city or very near a city with wired options available, abuse the hell out of their LTE connections.

The impact of telcos trying to curb these abusive behaviorw and people for who wireless is going to be the ONLY option ...

Just got done fully transferring my Cricket account to the Netgear Mr1100 and it took over 3 hours to update the firmware. I worried that it was stuck and tried a couple of power offs and back on (it tells you not to before going blank). However after removing the sim and giving some extra time it ...

I have a WG3526 with an installed EM7565 for sale. I bought it new August of '20 and used it for about 8 months this year running a Cricket Data plan. It was working good up until I changed to a Netgear M1 this last weekend. I am willing to let it go for $100 which would include mailing. I tested ...

This item is sold to mtl26637. Thread can be closed.

Sounds like you need an external antenna. With my mr1100 I routinely get around 50mbs down and 10+mbs up with 2 bars signal. Generally connecting to Band 66 and Band 2. My signal strength ain't all that great of shakes either.

My setup is the Mr1100 with no battery installed powered by an Anker ...

If you want good advice you need to give more detail. Those of us willing to help can not see what your setup is. Working with these things require being methodical.

From the little information you provide all I can glean is your TS-9 connectors are no good. They should not just fall out. In my M1 ...

Check in the address if it is adding an "s" after http in the address url. Firefox seems to do that and gives your that unable to connect error page. If it does delete the s and only use http://192.168.1.1/

I suggest before buying anything that you do a lot of research. For one is to understand the terms so that confusion is minimized. It also can save you money in the end.

You might set up a home Wi-Fi but that is simply a short range setup from a wireless router at your home. It does not supply you ...

The ToS there is CYA documentation. Calyx links their donators to the hacks forum and facebook group just for that use. ;)

You can get EM7565 imei help here maybe. NOT related to Wireless Joint, even though they copied the trademark name: https://www.facebook.com/groups/imeimagic
Whether CYA or ...

If you do not have whips or paddles already you can start with those. Since you mentioned being in another country it would be hard to recommend any but I am sure an Internet search would turn some up. You could look at this Forums merchant website for ideas of types.

Most likely the phone will be based on better modem and antenna setup.

...

So - has AT&T shut down its 3G network on February 2022 or it's delayed to April?
Yes it has. Although not all 3G is shutdown what with cooperative agreements with the other carriers and the necessity to replace equipment. What happens when they shutdown later this year is the next point of ...

Your antenna choices likely will require several adapters as one uses N connectors and the other uses RP-SMA. For cable you need 50 ohm rated. On the low loss side that means LMR-100 up to LMR- 600. On standard cable types that would be RG-58. You can google loss per foot.

If your use case is such ...
