Wireless Joint

Welcome to the forum! All the info here is put in place by people just like you and I. We just show up and ask questions and post our findings when we solve problems.

Thank you all. I ended up bringing it to an AT&T store and the person there said just swap the sim s as well. I explained adamantly how I did not want my account screwed up and he also changed the imei in the system. He of course did it wrong, and I got home to find none of it worked and had to go ...

I have the GoldenOrb_2020-03-01 (OpenWrt 18.06.7) rolled out and the modem experience is absolutely hands off and exactly what you want it to be

I wouldn't lock into band 2 as you probably won't get any CA, but I might lock out band 4 since it's really bad in your case. Maybe look into a parabolic grid with at least 700-2700mhz support, those have a bit more gain that your flat panels (~26dbi on the high end) and are more directional.

Also ...

Taking a quick look at the Terms of Service over at Mobile Citizen I see this,


Not that means that a different device might not work out for you. They may not enforce their terms. Just something to consider.

As mobile devices go the Netgear Nighthawk MR1100 mobile hotspot is about as good as ...

I have no idea how these resellers offer these high volume plans and I have a very strong feeling all of them are going to go away sooner than later or jump ship to TMobile.


It's a bit of a mystery. I have a plan for my RV from yet another reseller, https://www.ezmobiledata.com. I ended up with ...

If that drawing is right and you have a peak above your location to the towers in the plains, your best option is to go with the lowest frequency available. Band 12 is low, Band 71 even lower, but only TMobile uses it. You will be blocked from any of the higher frequency bands by that peak if you're ...

The LEDs have always been an odd thing. The goldenorb guys on the whirlpool forums have talked about it. The 4G LEDs are dependent on the modem, as it is a gpio output from the modem. the LAN ones should work, but could be that they just need to be activated. Over my head to be honest.

Are you ...

I see no way that T-Mobile would know that the device has been opened. There are no seals or springs or booby traps. (At this point I have only taken it apart, not put it back together.)

FWIW, I had canceled my TMO service(it was slow, avg. 3Mbps) after about 40 days(though they charged me for 2 months service), and about a month later, they sent me a $100 Visa card. The last thing they said was that I was welcome to try them again, anytime.

Would you give a review on your Starlink Gateway for what it offers?


Things I've seen so far is the GUI seems to made for troubleshooting by tech support it's filled with stats and such, but nothing you can fiddle with.
The supplied router has a very good Wifi signal, but I ditched it because ...

Just out of curiosity I did some research on a cheap antenna rotator and noticed that some of the less expensive TV antennas have them powered through the CO-AX cable. Something like this; https://www.ebay.com/itm/480-Miles-Outdoor-TV-Antenna-Motorized-Amplified-HDTV-1080P-4K-V-U-360-Rotation ...

When I tune in my antennas take my phone with me on roof. Log into rooter and watch signal strength and quality as I turn it.
If try to run speed test on roof it is junk. But the slightest wifi signal will allow to get into the UI and watch those signal readings.

Would someone that has a Orbi LBR20 do a IMEI check at Cricket https://www.cricketwireless.com/cell-phones/bring-your-phone to see if it is compatible? If not likely AT&T is also going to turn these off come Feb. 2022 as being 3G devices.

Check your device's compatibility
Apologies! This LBR20 ...

Check your device's compatibility
Yay, your MR1100 is compatible!
I just activated a used att branded MR1100 on a cricket simply data plan to try it out - works ok so far. Before I bought it, I checked a few 1A1NAS, 2A1NAS and 100NAS imeis from ebay photos and cricket said they were compatible.

Hello,

This decision by AT&T is just to reduce their support call volume. The redress depends on what legal constructs you have available in your state.

My neighbors and I are in California, and have filed disputes citing SB 822: AT&T (or any other carrier) is not allowed to exclude a device that ...

PS State: Not Attached
RRC: Idle

Both basically say the network is blocking you. You might want to request a new SIM and put it in the new router when you get it.

Or you may want to try to match the modems imei to the hotspot, just in case.

Hard to figure what the WiFi as Wan is necessary for.

Most campgrounds provide Wi-Fi. It's usually not great which is why RVers use cellular but if you're lucky enough to be somewhere with adequate Wi-Fi then Wi-Fi as WAN lets you use it transparently if the cellular signal is bad or you just ...
