Very interesting set up for sure. Do i really need to do this? I ran 30ft of LMR-400 directly from my Wilson antennas to my Mofi4500 using an old Dish-network mount that was already installed in my house. It was not grounded to begin with so I figured that it will be fine, but now looking at what ...

At the top is fine, just be sure to weatherproof all threaded connections exposed to the elements really well. He was correct that the arresters do not stop static electricity. I'm unfamiliar how the proxicast antennas are constructed so can't comment about the ground shielding in the lmr400 ...

Hello,
Thanks for the photos it helps. Need to ground mine as well. It is on a very similar antenna tower like what you have. The thing I don't understand about these set ups. Is it really necessary to ground a TV tower antenna that is literally in the ground? My tower is over 3 foot in the ground ...

Your problem is the b12 being only 5 mhz. That's the lowest possible and why I only recommend modems with 3 CA such as the Em7565. But it also depends on what the tower offers. U may want to check cellmapper.net to see bands available.

Hello all, I just found this long thread about the wide band parabolic grid. I work at the design and fabrication shop and lab where it originated and can answer any questions. How can I help?


Hello Raul,
I've installed 2 of these at my own home and 2 at my parents place, both identical setups ...

I have Em7565 on a mini PCI-E to M.2 adapter to work with my wg3526. Is it possible to take my Em7565 already mounted on mini PCI-E to M.2 adapter and plug it straight into this USB to mini PCI-E adapter to upgrade the firmware?

B2(15mhz) with b66(10mhz)on 2nd and 3rd CA is what gives me the really high speed. Seems it only gives me this cell in mid afternoon or early morning when the network is not congested. When it switches cells on me it's just b66 alone. Speeds average 70/25 on just b66. I might play around with the ...

That's what mine have as well. Only non N is the router sma's. N connectors are the absolute best for our application since they have the best frequency range, lowest signal loss, and have excellent waterproof capabilities due to the sealing inside of the connector. I think these ground kits are ...

Just finished up my final grounding today. Definitely overkill, but we get a lot of thunderstorms in my area. In my research static electricity builds up in the atmosphere during thunderstorms and that static build up degrades the gas charge in lightning arresters. So not only do these wick away ...

I too almost bought a mofi before reading the reviews about thier customer support on Amazon. So glad I found thewirelesshaven.com! For just a little more $$ I was able to build a WG3526 with Em7565 modem vs mofi's (imo outdated) pre-built router. Plus with thewirelesshaven.com you have an entire ...

Well I popped open the router and checked connections. They were good. Booted up modem and it gave me b2 with same as before signals so I did a quick speed. Uggghhh I sooo wish it would leave me on this cell. SmartSelect_20190821-180600_Speedtest.jpg
As soon as I switched over to grab screen shot ...

Now that my setup is nearly done I would like to pay it forward and share the details of my antenna mast and some of my build for anyone interested in something similar.

My 10' mast is mounted to a 33' old tv tower. The mast itself is made from a 10'; 1-3/8" chain link fence top rail. I also ...

Thanks. I'm getting very consistent speeds with the current setup. I'll average 50-60dl/25-30up during congestion times and when it's not congested it'll give me the faster band 2 that pulls 100-130dl/35-40up. It's operating in QMI since that's how it came. You think switching to MBIM would help any ...

FYI the EM7565 has a firmware bug that shows the main signal stats on B66 to be weaker than they really are. I noticed that in a couple of your screenshots. It's not an actual problem.


Thanks! I'm 100% positive about my connections being tight. Gonna crack open the router today and just double ...

20190820_214824.jpg Here's what I got playing with that ubiquiti tool.

Very slick tool! Checked that tower thats 19.23mi away. Like how it shows curvature of the earth. 20190820_220703.jpg

I'll open up the router and check out the connections tomorrow. Shockingly I got better ping times(25ms) on ...

LoL! CID is officially dubbed Walter! :lol:

Yes just antennas, no amplifier. The way I synced the antennas on the mast was placing the mount brackets flat on the floor then clamp them down. 20190817_103211.jpg

I definitely have the top antenna hooked to primary on router. This was confirmed when ...

Grabbed a quick look before heading out the door this morning. It's finally giving me "walter" :lol: this is the cell id I've been trying for. So I'm guessing that it's only going to give it to me when there's no congestion. AT!GSTATUS?

Well I'm definitely making improvements. There's no information on the cell id I'm connected to on cellmapper but I believe it's definitely the same tower I'm aiming for since the first 4 numbers coincide, my first tweak on the mast jumped speeds way up...
Unfortunately I wasn't able to get the ...

Glad you pointed out the cell id. I did some looking on cellmapper today. Couldn't find any towers until I zoomed way out. The tower I'm locked on is one that is 19.2 miles away! :shock: I'm blown away by the speed I'm getting this far away! Averaging 50-60/25-30. What's even crazier is that the ...

I was successful using this tutorial hooking up my wg3526 on GoldenOrb_2019-03-10 to my other (asus) router. Tried reversing the process but got locked out of my wg3526. So after recovering firmware and getting reconfigured I seen that DHCP server in goldenorb starts at 100 so nothing needs to be ...

It worked! Thanks for the tutorial Jim!

Gonna give this a try

So i followed this dmz/bridging alternative tutorial...

It all worked fine but losing the wifi capabilities of the wg3526 was a bummer so i tried to undo the settings. I re-enable dhcp server on wg3526 and now am locked out. I've tried wired and wireless ...

This was an all day project! Just gotta tidy up some cables and bond my lighting arresters to the tower. I'll post up a more detailed tutorial on my setup sometime soon. I'll be doing this all again at my parents place soon I'm sure.

Here's my 4 gang junction box for lightning arresters, ethernet ...

That's called SUCCESS! Congratulations! :D And good luck at your place.

What is the last screenshot from? The one where it was only 4.64 Mbps down. Your test server was different then too.

Regarding coax cable, another option is powering the devices outside in weatherproof enclosures and then ...

Testing at my parents place was a complete success. Mounted the antenna pole about chest high just because it was easier. Top antenna was around 15' from ground second probably about 10'. Base test was WG3526/EM7565 with stock antennas. Got basically dial up speeds. SmartSelect_20190816-224113 ...

Just got 2 of these(bolton technical ultragain 26) in the mail yesterday, assembled, and pole mounted. Pretty much trial and error as far as orientation and spacing of the 2 antennas go according to the Wilson antenna guy i spoke with. He said ppl don't normally buy 2. All he could really tell me ...

If THIS is the antenna you have you'll want 2 of them for MIMO. You will then need F male to sma male. Those are the most common ends for most antennas and routers. The cables to connect the antennas to the router can be found HERE . Read the descriptions on each, they explain very well on what's ...

After reading THIS thread I was pretty cautious building my new router. I too had the same issues with the screws touching the router case on the bottom(between pcb and case) and 1 of the pan heads of the screws touching the underside of the modem.

So to fix the issue I used needle nose pliers and ...

Great read along in this topic! Seeing the results this guy pulled sold me right away on these parabolic grid antennas. https://youtu.be/xzqkoPL9t9A

I'm ~7 miles from my tower and knew I'd need highest gain possible. Also since it covers 600-6k it's pretty much universal in the event I'd ever want ...
