Wireless Joint

Placed an order on circledin.com to join a plan for a new sim and packed up the kvd21 for return if TMO even wants it back since they just upgraded to the new sage boxes which presumably have better modems inside.

It's $53/mo with unlimited data and 50GB of tether if needed. This should unlock ...

I think I figured out the VPN issue. Seems for some reason it's not adding the routes when connecting. I think the app is looking for traditional nic interfaces to bind them to and the metric for the wwan is 700 when a wired connection is 0 or 1. Might have to script a lower metric assigned to the ...

Finally got the eSIM worked on on the phone for the new plan. Speeds on the phone are almost 500mbps DL / 65mbps UL which is about 100mbps+ DL and about double UL. Just need to head to the store and pick up a pSIM to use in the modem and make sure it works as a phone by putting the phone IMEI onto ...

Tried to change the APN on the modem and it was being difficult so did a factory reset on it and it came online w/o further configuration. Testing now to see if I need to bother with the TTL since it's showing just normal phone use on the TMO dashboard at the moment. Then again there seems to be a ...

Interesting little piece of mail showed up today. TMO sent the bill to collections even though they still haven't sent the prorated final bill for the cancellation which was 12/21. Just one more thing to deal with in cleaning up things post mortem.

So far the voice line is doing well though with ...

Went and took care of the bill w/o returning the KVD and the prorate was ~$45. No NRF on the bill for the KVD non-return even a month after cancel. TMO is a bit odd considering the bill sent to collections but no charge yet for the GW. First full month of hammering the new modem resulted in ~1TB of ...

Played around with putting the SC card inside on the PCIE card and couldn't get a stable card initialization in either mode USB/PCIE
Something weird with that card working in only certain scenarios even with the new cables

Slab is working fine with the SC card and the same software issues trigger ...

Interesting....

The Fibocom works well as a backup but, it's SLOW
In MBIM mode / PCIE mode the modem seems to be using hotspot data and when doing a traceroute it shows the hops across TMO's network vs the IPv6 generic 192.0.0.1 in USB mode w the SIMcom

The HS data brought back to mind the TTL 65 ...
