Wireless Joint

Once you get a general idea what direction it is in use Google maps in satellite view to pinpoint exactly where it is. It takes a bit of panning and zooming but I've always found them. You get a knack of finding them after a while. They are usually clearings in the woods right off major roads.

It turned out to be the router. I put the modem in a new WE826 and am back up. Weird how everything else the router does was working except the port.

I have this one on my other setup.

I did the same before replacing the modem. Cleaned the contacts and made sure it was seated. I tried the WiFix and the stock GoldenOrb firmware. Ended up ordering a new router.

@xdavidx I'd be willing to send you my spare MC7455 to test with.

There was just a tread on that. See if this helps.

Not for me. My connection log is empty.

It was working fine then all of a sudden stopped working without changing anything. I just replaced the MC7455 modem and get the same message. I've factory reset and re-flashed the router and still get the same message. Figure I'd check here before offering the modem in the marketplace. Any ideas?

The spec sheet says it is bi-directional

I've been watching eBay for another amp. They pop up from time to time. I just missed a new in box one for $179. Made a low ball offer and it sold the next day at listing price. I was thinking it was someone from here

Yeah. The tilt is enough to level it from the roof pitch. The bracket is to wide for the fascia to mount it level. So I mounted it parallel then rotated it.

I should have looked earlier. See what you were looking for in the instructions? It's a pro tip.

I have the antenna mounted on a Channel Master CM-3090. It allows adjustment on 2 axes. The antenna itself has the standard U-bolt that clamps around a pole. There is no way to rotate it 45 degrees.

I'm curious on the AT&T plan you got. I'm on the Verizon train. Started with a prepaid SIM and got terrible speeds. Moved to a paid unlimited plan and it got better but still slow. Finally got a leased grandfathered unlimited plan off eBay and am getting decent speeds. With help here it seems as ...

MPD Digital on Amazon has super flex LMR400 at decent prices.

This is turning into a little hobby. It sucked me in and I want to suck down bits as fast as possible. I'll pick up another antenna to travel around with and visit all the towers again. Now that I know a little more about what I'm looking at.

Thanks again for all the help/feedback. Hopefully I was ...

The antenna does a decent job. I'm wondering if adding another or switching to a pair of the 15dB panels would perform better.

I picked Verizon because they have the best coverage for phones out here. I haven't a clue what AT&T would be like with an antenna. There are 3 towers that are in the same ...

Before I get to the results I'll answer the questions first.

The grid antenna is on the roof while the omni is inside. I have 20' of LMA400 between the antenna and amp. I did connect to each tower and ran speed tests to find the one that worked the best. I would use the compass on the iPhone to ...

xdavidx that is exactly what I was looking for! This should be a sticky somewhere here. Thanks so much for taking to time to spell it out for me.

The parabolic antenna only has a single RF connection. It is the primary and the dinky omni is my secondary.

There are only 4 towers to pick from ...

I'm just getting into LTE and purchased that antenna before I found this site. I'm not sure what all the numbers mean yet but this is what I get with a WE826-T and MC7455.
