I should have my WE826-Q and EM7565 today(had to go the Ebay route until these guys are able to restock)....

Who restock?

thewirelesshaven sells the Q under the NEXQ6GO name, with their own firmware. Its in stock.

Usually a high upload and a terribly low download means your tower is saturated with users and you are being deprioritized.

Typically wifi antennas are reverse polarity, and are not compatible with the LTE SMA setup. The antenna will screw into LTE SMA connector, but wifi sma-rp antennas are female and LTE SMA bulkhead connectors in the cases are female as well.

1. After taxes and fees, how much does the $20 iPad plan come to?
2. First month it's $50+ (for the $30 activation)?
3. Can anyone without any prior ATT relationship/phone lines, go to the store and get this plan?

1: ~$35
2: First month add $50 for activation unless you have an ATT account ...

Bill,

I'm trying to understand the logic of a 117 TTL.

I understand why the 65 TTL exists for an Android driven stack but why would Page Plus choose a a 117 TTL?

It's something people toyed with and found to work specifically with Verizon. They tried all sorts of TL settings and 117 started ...

Quoting someone is the best way to tag them, if its setup in their profile, it will notify them when they are quoted. If they still have their email setup and didnt silence all notifications.

How can you tell? The only way I can is by looking into the end of the connector, the outsides are identical between RP-SMA and SMA. That is something I've never had get mixed up..... Yet

I personally would have a hard time ordering an 4G LTE Antenna for hundreds of dollars hoping it would work without trying to lock down the position of the tower and figuring out if it would be worth it.

What if it ended up that it would not because the tower is just in a poor position? No ...

I wish I understood what transparent bridge meant :/

Look up the command AT+QNWLOCK

I'm about to fall out to ed. I'll try to dig up more info for you. I'm not certain the EC25AF supports this command. Try it by entering it in the AT command terminal with only a ? at the end, like AT+QNWLOCK? or AT+QNWLOCK=?

Your good

Ask away. This place gets better and better as more people search the forum for answers and ask questions when they cant find them. Great stuff.

Sprint not an option? I have some customers out in the farmlands of Cali, and they love their Sprint.

Usually the only way is to log into your cell account and look. That is IF it gets reported for you to see. There may be a way to set it up to monitor from the device, but I don't know it. Might just be a project for ya!

Deprio can be avoided only by upgrading your account type. Typically the order is:
1st responders

The post paid is a great way to go. The pre-paids are, as you say, better off in the ipad.

All of the last few years versions of Goldenorb support The Quectel EP06A

The MOFI SIM7 uses a category 4 LTE modem, the Quectel EC25AF. It is a great modem, and connects to some of the rarer cellular bands, like B71, but it is a bit old. Your phone likely has a Category 16 or greater modem inside. The difference is Cat4 modems cannot use Carrier Aggregation, and is only ...

You may be much better off with a flat panel directional antenna. Yagis are not very forgiving on non line of site situations. With no line of sight I always suggest flat panels. I wouldnt mix antenna types either. Another thing you may want to do is up your devices power supply .5 or 1 Amp. Sounds ...

Gscbeb pointed out. The mofi4500 sim7 has a Quectel ec25af inside.

Your looking for better antennas, if you want to keep your mofi. What does the signal info page show you.

Your iphone10 has a category 18 modem I think, at least a category 16, and bigh powered well engineered 4x mimo antennas ...

Another thing. Peeps need to stop looking up firmware updates, especially on modems, until its needed due to problems. I've seen story after story after story of locked up modems due to firmware updating gone wrong, and no one knows why they are updating. The general idea I get, 'Newest is best ...

It would be a curious project for sure. I don't think an analog RJ11 connected phone device would work per say since there is no dial tone on a cellular line. But some form of voice channel/port usage programming and some circuit wizardry would prob get the job done.

Way outside my wheelhouse, but ...

Someone made a deal with the debil and got into Walmart with the absolute cheapest thing they could source! Wow. Never heard of "Folksy"

International an dplus are gone now. I use the "Magenta Plus" plan with a tablet imei

I use a T-mobile plan direct from T-Mobile in an LTE router. I told them I was using it in a tablet. They gave me the Magenta Plus unlimited plan for tablets. Its like $50 a month. SimpleMobile should also work great for like $50 or $60 a month. BillA is our local SimpleMobile expert I think.

1. The Wireless Haven version has a few nuggets added, nothing major different overall.
2. This is a great place to talk goldenorb/rooter, but the main dev board is https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/3vx1k1r3?p=650
3.-ish I believe you can ssh into any goldenorb/rooter router. [url]http ...

B71 is a far reaching band. Lock your modem out of B71. It may see that radio and like it better. Maybe just lock it to B2, B4, B66 and B12.

Ive not yet used SimpleMobile, so I cant answer. Im just parroting info on that.

The Magenta plan isnt the senior plan. Its a standard plan.

Yeah, usually it should start shutting itself off at 75c or so. 95 is high.

You can remove the top cover, but youll have to remove the antennas an mount or secure them somehow. I 3D print a bracket for them myself.

Put a big alum heat sink on the mod m too

Fantastic! Great write-up! <highFive>

Closed in spirit

I pay like $50 a month for my Tmo plan. Im under 50.

You can build a gigbit router with a WAY better modem for less than the MOFI4500

Hell send me the needs and Ill quote you out a whole set with full specs.

You aren't getting 66 because you didn't include it in your 0F creation command.

Also not sure why you are including the leading zeroes. Did I miss the need for this? I believe it isn't necessary.

AT!BAND=0F,"B66 plus others",0,80A, 2
AT!BAND=0F

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 ...

The LTE_BAND_MASK is the hard part, the rest is likely...

AT+ZNBANDLOCK=1,0,<lte_band_mask>

you can likely leave the last part blank or just add a ",0" at the end.

You can try the band mask for Quectel, Sierra, or Telit. The AT command manuals have them. We also have few spreadsheets on them ...

In general the highest dBi gain antenna you can afford is best. I prefer flat panel directional antennas. If you have a direct Line of Sight, Yagi style directional antennas are inexpensive and work well. If you cannot see your cell tower directly from where the antenna will mount, then Flat panel ...

Fantastic follow up details. Please don't be discouraged by lack of responses. I'll likely never get a mofi4500, but for people who do, your doing great work for them as well.

Good stuff!

Hello everyone I am back with another question on CA.
.....

I am looking into trying to get a pair of these as suggested in another post: https://thewirelesshaven.com/shop/antennas/4g-lte-antennas/directional-panel/700-2700mhz-15dbi-4g-lte-directional-antenna/

But that will be fair down the road ...

Honestly I've never spoken with anyone who tried. Give it a go!

I blindly jumped in not thinking that I have EM7455's based off the Dell versions. When I did the AT!RMARESET=1 it wrecked the modem. Even worse my dumb arse did it to two of the modems, lol. Late night mistake, should have been in bed.

So if you are not using the MC/EM7455 directly branded by ...

The Quectel modem has the ability to lock to specific radios on each cell tower, the Sierra Wireless modems do not. This may be your way to lock to the cell towwe of choice. I have not played with this command but you may want to try the Quectel ad look up the command AT+QNWLOCK

It is a VERY expensive process to get carrier certified. MOFI did a great job of setting themselves up in this niche. regardless of their lack of customer service. It's almost uncanny how many people come here to get support. I say bring them here all day, more info the better for this forum.

Are you using 60Hz 110VAC power to the power supply?

You posted EXACTLY what is needed. A log before problems AND during the problem. Bravo dude! If everyone did this, we could help more people much quicker.

General network info says your still good on the network.

Do you HAVE to band lock to B12? I would unlock it to see what happens. Your signal ...

Thats exactly what I do. I sometimes will just lay it on my work bench or kitchen table while testing equipment.

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 ...

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.

I don't believe there is such a command. If you find it let us know. You can just lock 13 out so it doesnt use it at all. See which way you like better.

You'll want to use M and D/G, though the em20 is meant for 4 antennas, it should work.

There is no command to see each antennas signal strength. The command does exist (AT+QRSRP I think) but the EM20G does not support it, and Quectel has placed the device in development limbo for now. The Quectel ...

It is a cat16 modem.

Dunno. Maybe? Its a great modem, I'm guessing they set its price point low and still didnt have mass commercial orders. The EM160 isnt much cheaper.

Your all over it :)

Thanks for the response. I get redirected to the T-Mobile site any time I try to look into Sprint. Are Sprint plans available anymore? I was leaning toward Simple Mobile until recently, but I'm certainly open to whatever works. So much great info here, my head is spinning a bit!

LOL! Isn't the 826 a budget router already?

When you've done a fresh factory reset on it, what AT commands do you send to it for setting it up the way you like? Any?

Do this one thing for me. Get it connected to the LTE the way you want. Before you reboot it to see if it did its silliness, send the following AT Command:

AT+QPRTPARA=1

I haven't, but the manufacturers LOVE to hide screws under labels and other stickers as well as rubber "feet"/pads

Huh. I've never messed with the Ku firmware. How did you find the Hacks site, btw?

Honestly, from all I've read from your posts on this Ku unit, I would try to get my money back and just put one together myself, one with the Qualcomm WiFi chip in it. Then add any modem you want up to a cat12 modem ...

After setting those commands you HAVE to hard reboot the modem either with AT+CFUN=1,1 or a full power cycle. Otherwise it may act very odd.

If you've factory reset it make sure you run the command

Code: Select all

AT+QPRTPARA=1

This makes the settings backup in NVRAM again. (Basically)

Your ping has so many variables behind it. It might be the device. Your location, your tower, the number of hops from you to the servers. My best on speedtest.net is usually around 18-15ms, but in game its always higher, usually between 60-100ms

If you add antennas to the mifi8000 you will kill the ...

Generally the SIMCOM modems haven't gained traction here, but I'd have to guess as to why. Likely lack of support. Give it a go, let us all know your journey with one.

The network is declining your connection. It may be the APNs need to be cleared out (AT+CGDCONT=1; AT+CGDCONT=2; AT+CGDCONT=3) Then set the APN manually ( AT+CGDCONT=1,"IPV4V6","broadband" ) or try IPV4 only (AT+CGDCONT=1,"IPV4","broadband")

But it looks like an account issue.

The non poe and poe versions are exactly the same, except the ability to also power over poe on that version. It can also be powered via standard wall plug. The Wireless Haven isn't stocking the non poe version right now.

Long story short, it already has the latest firmware

I use an att ipad post paid plan. Works fine. You dont need another device on plan to get it. They just charge like a $50 setup fee if you dont have a phone plan as well.
You usually have to go to a real Corporate ATT store. The franchise owned stores seem to ALWAYS act like it doesnt exist.

Now we take off the antenna connections
