This is likely the same problem everyone else is having with AT&T right now. All router, many plans.

One proposed workaround is using a VPN with a port other than 80 and 443.

Also, this likely only affects people that have hit 22GB of usage in the current billing cycle.

Good luck to us all!

To follow up on the above-I made progress last night and found that PPC had activated a different SIM than what was in the router. So that is back on track to be on the network and operational.

I am still very curious about the TTL settings though, and how those are working out for people? From ...

It's not that simple... That cat6 modem in the mofi isn't capable of 4x4 mimo, so first you'd need a much more expensive modem (cat16 I think is the baseline for 4x4), an adapter to install the modem (newer modems are m.2, not mpci-e), and at that point you might as well sell off the mofi and start ...

Thanks, this was posted a few days ago but I never got the notification. I have since cancelled my MoFi seamlessly, and I am at the beginning stages of building my lab setup. I'll edit the original as needed.

Not a fan of the mofi units... Considering they usually go for $300+ and you can get the same modem and router for closer to $130, I'd probably cancel that and use the savings to add on a mimo (or a pair of single) antenna(s) and the necessary cabling. You don't want your LTE router running on your ...

Great Information.Thanks for sharing.

The tower determines what bands your phone will latch on. Your phone just lets the tower know it supports B71 but it doesn't mean your phone will connect to it as the tower knows that B2 and B12 are faster than B71 or configured that way and want your phone to connect to those bands instead. You ...

I bought a simple heat sink from Amazon (as shown by others) and used the 3M tape to stick it simply to the EM7565 modem. I left the WE826 case with the lid opened and pointed a box fan I had at the open box. I have not had the temperature ...

I have tried various TTLs and some custom firewall rules (re: IPv6) that I found in another thread, but neither have worked. Data still works absolutely fine when the phone is not used as a modem. What am I missing? What else should I try?

The most recent mofi firmware (4.2.8) has solved these AT&T port blocking issues for us. Upgraded a week ago and it's not gone down since.

Might want to read thru this post.

I have one of the cheaper ones with a replacement mimo feedhorn... It still picks up the lower frequencies but with little to no gain. That's fine by me since those bands are slower anyway.

2 of those should work, but at that price you'd be better off with a parabolic with a mimo feed. You don't want to point at 2 different towers, btw... CA aggregates multiple bands on the same tower, and MIMO depends on having multiple paths to a single tower. No provider is going to bond 2 different ...

Some things to report:

Wifi is broken in the RPi4 builders of OpenWRT. There's some patches that fix this issue in the mainstream linux kernel needed to fix this, but they haven't made it over into the OpenWRT version yet. I'm not using wifi, so no worries for me, but I thought I'd pass it along.

MIMO and CA should improve average latency between you and the tower, even if only by increasing maximum throughput so that you have more available for the overhead. Basically, when your connection is maxed out latency will skyrocket, even on a good hard-line connection. Having a higher speed ...

These statements were true at least about a week ago. I haven't looked lately.

100Mbps on band 71 is not possible in the real world, especially with a CAT-4 modem which doesn't do carrier aggregation. The reason why you're getting much higher speeds on a phone, is because they have higher CAT# modem built in. The general formula to estimate the highest theoretical speed is ...

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.

There's also a Sierra cat20, but it is expensive AF. Then there's the Nighthawk M1 and Mifi 8000 hotspots (cat16), but the 4x4 only works with the internal antennas as they only have 2 external ports.

20000000000000000 = band 66

So you literally combine them to get to the band you want

Yes. You can use the S8 to tether. Certain plans will not allow hotspot so you have to make sure it at least allows hotspot so you could set the TTL to bypass it. If hotspot is not allowed, ie USB tethering is grayed out/disabled on your phone when sim is inserted, you might need to root the phone ...

The 600Kbps is usually a sign that your data is being detected as hotspot data. If you put your Verizon's sim back into the phone and it doesn't throttle to 600Kbps then you know it is caused by hotspot detection.
