Re: wg1608 with RM520N-GLAP possible?

No, wg1608's m.2 slot is USB only. I went as far as installing openwrt on WG1608 and running the lspci command. Wg1608 does not see the RM520N-GLAP. Dead end here.

Having this RM520N-GLAP that I can't return, I tried ordering a desktop PCIe to m2 card and loading Ubuntu on my PC. It sees the PCI ...

Re: WG1608 (16M) and RM520N-GL Performance (T-Mobile)

Not sure if this information is worth anything but I did get over 300Mbps down when using OpenWrt firmware with my WG1608 and RM520N.

I flashed the firmware and manually installed LuCI, WWAN components and Modem Manager to get it working. I used ...

wg1608 with RM520N-GLAP possible?

I purchased an RM520N-GL(AP) variant before I knew the difference between AA and AP.
RM520N-GLAA supports USB and PCIe.
RM520N-GLAP supports only PCIe.
When I plugged it into my WG1608, nothing happened. It doesn't detect the board. Is there any way to get RM520N-GLAP working in my WG1608 16m? I ...

Re: SOLVED: I'm stuck. Mobile Citizen T-Mobile SIM video throttling on RM502Q-AE, but not on hotspot


Well, yes and no. While the device limit is 15 for the hotspot itself, that's not a limitation on the plan. The T9/T10 allows for USB tethering out of the box, which effectively would allow the T9/T10 to have as many connections as you want anyways... Officially.

Unofficially, though.. my RM502Q ...

Re: SOLVED: I'm stuck. Mobile Citizen T-Mobile SIM video throttling on RM502Q-AE, but not on hotspot

Thanks to Kingsolo31 . I enabled IPv6 and it resolved the buffering issue from streaming services like Disney+

In a related question; Are there any concerns with the number of devices that are no longer masked behind IPv4? The sim I used came out of a Franklin T10 and it support a maximum of 15 ...

Re: AT Commands, TIMEOUT ERROR

Just a follow up on this. I gave up and bought a Dell DW5811E / EM7455 to replace the em12-g. It is not as fast but but cost a lot less and works perfectly with my existing setup.

ZBT-WE826, Sprint, Disconnects on Google Voice calls

Hi Everyone, I started, thanks to this forum, with ZBT-WE826, EM7455 and a Sprint SIM from Franklyn r850. It had worked well except for the constant disconnects. Then I upgraded it to Quectel EM12 and that resolved most of the disconnects. Now the only disconnect that occurs and is reproducible is ...

Re: New GoldenOrb 2020-03-01 Firmware

I don't see any difference in the UI but I am hopeful that it is more stable. It is too early to tell since I'm less than 24h into using this new firmware.

Features list below copied from the download link in the 1st post.

The latest version of ROOter is GoldenOrb 2020-03-01 and has the following ...

Not sure what you mean with the TTL setting. Are you referring to this screen?

If so, it looks the same as the previous version.

Re: New GoldenOrb 2020-03-01 Firmware

This new firmware is working well. With the old firmware, I normally avoided Sprint's band 41 because of constant disconnects. With this new firmware, I'm still getting disconnected on heavy usage but at least it is automatically reconnecting and it is doing so under 1 minute. In contrast, I will ...

Re: WE826 | WG3526 | WE3926 | WE1326 | WE1026 - Firmware Recovery Mode

I find running a continuous ping against 192.168.1.1 is a good way to know when to release the reset button in step 7. Release as soon as there is a ping response from 192.168.1.1.
