It needs to be run several times, and over a period of time. the contents can change dramatically, even in a fixed location (depending on whether the modem is thinking of switching bands).

You'll need practice interpreting the result.

Sierra modems use a Qualcomm chipset. The L860 uses an Intel chipset, and many things "under the hood" are very different.

Oops, my mistake. I've been working on my Fibocom L860 too long. The LM960 is a Telit modem, so the commands I gave before this edit won't work.

Hello! I've successfully setup an OpenMPTCProuter on an Intel-i3 based SBC with 8 Gigabit NIC's (industrial PC/router enclosure) I imported from China (the usual suspects). Pretty much everything went without a hitch, save attempting to find a VPS provider that could potentially provide a ...

October 2022 Update
I loathe boilerplate legalese but it was brought to my attention that someone had copied this tutorial wholesale on another site with only a passing reference to a pseudonym of mine at the very end and no link to this page as the source. Thus, I feel I have to give notice at ...

makes me really appreciate that i got a quectel instead of a sierra modem

Great work. Another option if you don't want to be dependent on external DNS to keep the firmware from being updated is to add an entry for devcom.up.netgear.com to /etc/hosts. I confirmed that gives me back a "Service unreachable" when I attempt to update.

echo "127.0.0.1 devcom.up.netgear.com ...

Thanks for the help! Calling it a success for now.

If others land here with a WE826GO running a Quectel EP06-A modem trying to get this combination running for the first time, the first part of this thread did the trick for me. That would be the second post instructing how to clear the APNs then run in MBIM mode. After the modem hard reboot command ...

If you don't know, maps use true north, and your compass uses magnetic.
They are off generally about 12-13 degrees for most of us.

So far the 7411 looks like its CA TMO band 71 on DL, which is a first for a router I tested. I'm seeing a DL performance boost of about 40% during peak times. I'm still learning the Sierra AT commands, I'm more familiar with the Quectel's. Output as follows...

What plan are you using on Tmobile?

It's always best to eliminate SIM/carrier/plan issues:
Did you register the SIM to another device first to make sure the SIM is active and the plan passes data? Or did you get a full on hotspot plan and register the EP06 as the device on ...

I'm not going to be able to help much because I'm a total novice and learning as I go, but I'm putting together a RBM33G and a Sierra EM7455 right now. (I've also ordered an EP06-A, but it's on a slow boat from China and won't be here for a few more weeks.)

Here are my thoughts so far:

Please don't take this as nitpicking, just would like to point out the correct expression of your down/up speeds.
If you put down 100+MBs, it means MegaBytes/sec (upper case B=Bytes, lover case b=bits), which would equal to 800Mbps (Megabits/sec), and I'm pretty sure you're getting nowhere near ...

I run two routers, with different carriers/towers. I have both run into a USG Pro4 with load balancing enabled. It does not do WAN bonding, but it does load balance across the two routers/modems and it also fails over to one if the other one experiences an outage.

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 ...

what was your original bandwidth vs with the VPN on?

I just tried speedtest.net several times with and without the VPN and it's hard to notice any difference. I said 75% above but it's better than that. I usually get between 20 and 40 Mbps. I'm in Houston using T-Mobile with a Magenta Unlimited ...

Devices send their IMEI when registering to the network. On some you can "repair" the IMEI, on others you can't.

The EC/IO is a measure of the quality/cleanliness of the signal from the tower to the modem and indicates the signal-to noise ratio (the ratio of the received/good energy to the interference/bad energy). It is measured in decibels (dB). In a perfect world, where there is no true interference ...

Going to give this a try in the AM and report back. Thank you for tackling that so quickly.

The parabolic mimo grid at The Wireless Haven has the most gain on those bands. Your signal is already decent enough, though, so a cheaper mimo panel antenna should suffice.
