Would you give a review on your Starlink Gateway for what it offers?


Things I've seen so far is the GUI seems to made for troubleshooting by tech support it's filled with stats and such, but nothing you can fiddle with.
The supplied router has a very good Wifi signal, but I ditched it because ...

I've only had it for literally an hour but I've never had a test like this on LTE at 5PM. So far testing the worst test was 68mbps down.

In my area I was getting 50mbps down most of the day the 1st month with this service and we used around 800GB.
The second month I was only getting 50mbps down in the graveyard hours and then it almost seemed like we were being throttled at times down to 0.2mbps, lots of buffering only able to use ...

And FedEx found a way to screw this up! My Starlink Kit went from CA to PA right over me in WI and my roof mount is in TX now.
So much for being here tomorrow

FYI, for anyone who cares. I ordered on February 8

With Tmobile/SimpleMobile I'm consistently getting 100Mbps in the daytime and over 200Mbps at night (from 9pm till 9am) using a Quectel EM16 CAT-16 modem. On my second router with a 5G Simcom SIM8200EA-M2 modem it's close to 1,000Mbps (https://wirelessjoint.com/viewtopic.php?p=15158#p15158). Best ...

Yep, ours is on the way a few weeks out. Our last Ipad plan just got axed on Monday right after AT$T renewed it.
All we have left now is our Tmo home internet. Which is great at 3am but usually not so great at 7pm(only 10Mhz Bandwidth in my area). So I have a sim coming for the AT$T $20 tablet plan ...

Using OpenWRT firmware like GoldenOrb or WiFix.

You should be setting the TTL under Network > Firewall > Custom Rules

See this post on tethering: https://wirelessjoint.com/viewtopic.php?p=10303#p10303

It needs to be Linux 65? I think have it on 64


I've never had to change this setting on my Mofi because this is for a $35 Ipad prepaid account and there is not a limit on the hotspot data.

I think the most common TTL for AT$T is 65.

older post that may be worth looking at for different ...

@gscheb

What plan/addons do you use through Tmo?

I was in one of my prepaid ipad accounts and noticed under the plans that the $34.99 unlimited option is back.
Not sure if this is available for existing customers or everyone. Haven't seen it mentioned anywhere so I thought I'd share.

Just another update -- Mine has renewed twice. Still working fine. I believe this is more geared/targeted against high volume users. Haven't heard of anyone using less than 400GB getting canned yet. Guess we'll see. I try to keep mine below 300. Usually doable.

Both of my prepaid ipad accounts ...

So how do I get a refund since they shut the data off several days before the renewal? I'm not worried about the previous month but there's no reason to spend $35 for a full month of non service.


If they are unwilling to refund you , why couldn't you dispute the charge with your credit card ...

@ gscheb found this about PagePlus, https://wirelessjoint.com/viewtopic.php?p=6785#p6785. Doesn't sound promising with a Sierra modem.

I just received my Quectel EM12 modem. Hopefully I'll have some time to try it out on PagePlus this weekend and see if I can get better results.

Where you able to get up and running on PagePlus?

PagePlus and Simplemobile

Here's a list of currently available unlimited prepaid plans for mobile routers


1. ATT

ATT tablet/iPad plan $35/mo, 30Mbps speeds, 50ms latency, deprioritized after 30GB, has been discontinued.
ATT unlimited prepaid $65/$75/mo, 30Mbps speeds, 50ms latency, deprioritized after 30GB
ATT ...

My guess is they have a threshold for data usage and if you pass that it's game over.


A reseller told me if you exceed 700GB in a 30 day cycle they'll terminate the service. Take that for what it's worth.
One of my accounts is up for renewal and it will be around 400GB so we shall see if it's ...

Verizon based PagePlus $55/mo, 40Mbps speeds, 50ms latency, deprioritized during congestion



Anyone have experience with this plan?

On their website "At 60 GB, we reserve the right to review your account for usage in violation of Page Plus's terms and conditions."

My options are ATT or ...

Tried a different PC, every LAN port, different cable.

I can get the bootload menu every time.
So now It seems to Flash the firmware, but while doing so the progress bar stops about 90% through, hangs for a minute then finishes, loads to a reboot page with another progress bar and then refreshes ...

Tried Firefox and Chrome, making sure cache was cleared on both. Same result as shown above.

Thanks for the reply Jim.

Using the boot loader turorial HERE

I get to the firmware recovery screen in "Chinese". Now after I select the firmware to flash and hit OK to continue I get an ERROR screen and it redirects back to the firmware recovery screen in "Chinese" right where I started. So I ...

Thanks Swwifty. Unfortunately the WG3526 is still giving me problems.. I'm posting this question on my WE826-T2(using the EM7565)because my WG3526 has become unusable. The only time I can ever communicate with the WG3526 is after I reset it using the down loader method and it comes up in Chinese ...

I did get the WG3526 setup running with the EM7565 and tried a couple of speed tests with it. The test on the left was the fastest speed I got with the WE826-T2(using the EM7565) the one on the right is the fastest one I've gotten so far with the WG3526, both were on bands 4,2,12(3CA, 30Mhz total ...

Thanks guys for the quick responses. The LAN/WAN speed was a definite oversight. I'll be putting a order in for a WG3526 and see what kind of speed I can get out of that.

Hello to all,

Short back story first to get everyone up to speed.

We built a new house(5miles out of a bigger town) and came to find out, in order to get internet it would cost us $14,100 to build the cable company's network for them, so we told them to go pound sand.

At that time I was not aware ...
