I am in a fringe area and my 4G two year old tablet plan is having some issues with performance. I have learned that 5G is available in my area for some people so I was wondering if I can just pop the SIM card into my new equipment without having to make an appointment with the store to change ...

As you may know, at&t version of Netgear mr6110 lacks bands n41+n78 - mostly used in Asian countries. I got these pictures from a forum showing that it can be running on band n41 for 5g. I'm quite sure that that carrier is using band n41 for 5g. I also noticed that it seems they were flashing a fw ...

okay, I don't know how else to explain so please bare with me. I've installed AB21 prerelease, ive changed my wifi names and enabled them all, and now it's not letting me access any essential settings. keep getting a code of "L.naturalCompare is not a function" and I've did the 30x30x30 reset and ...

Just wondering if anyone can help me with step by step instructions to setup failover. We are FINALLY getting fiber broadband, but I would like to keep my 4G LTE as a backup. I'm using a TAKTIKAL 1600 router with GoldenOrb_2024-07-22 firmware. I'm assuming it's done through MultiWAN Manager, but I ...

I am also thinking maybe T-Mobile has throttled me down and these messages are possibly a result? Any suggestions or help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! It could be a service or router issue, so test the sim card in a phone. If it doesn't work, it's a service issue. If it works, it ...

I have a 5g modem and have it locked to band 71 (primary), band 41 (secondary). With this configuration I get the fastest throughput. However, band 71 drops frequently and I then have 41:41, which doesn't produce the best throughput. Is the reason for dropping band 71 due to being, perhaps, on the ...

So how can I do it through goldernorb? I want to get tailscale set up before I go back to openwrt. It has an option to where I can activate its web ui on the 8080 port. First, here's how Tailscale works. https://tailscale.com/blog/how-tailscale-works To install and use Tailscale on an OpenWRT based ...

Not sure why would you need ADB/Fastboot modem access to install Talscale?
You can simply install it on a Windows or Linux box, or probably even on an OpenWRT router.

Code: Select all

curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh

Thanks, I will try this configuration. I use digikey, because we have daily package from them at work and I can include my items in it with free shipping, but they have those quectel antennas. For the modem configuration, I downloaded the list of AT commands, but I find nothing about manual band ...

What is the configuration to check on the model to be sure it has fully automatic band selection? I tried a few antennas I had running around, but they are all worse than the one I have (around -112 instead of -109). The modem has 4 antenna connector, but it seems only one is used by LTE, I see ...

Ok, I thought the antenna I picked would be a good fit. Do you have a recommendation? Due to your constantly changing direction and location in a plane, I would try some high gain omni directional antennas (flat or round) stuck onto a window where you get the most amount of signal. Otherwise the ...

So I've been using this setup for a couple years now and it's been great. I haven't done any updates because I just don't know enough about all this and don't want to lose the unlimited connection if I screw something up. My issue that brings me here today is that over the last few months the WiFi ...

Looking for anyone out there that may be able to provide me with the AT Commands for a Dell DW5931e (Fibocom FM350-GL) specifically targeting imei repair. I did find a link on the forums in another post that had one for a Dell DW5821e Google Docs forum. Curious if anyone knows if these commands ...

Probably no hardware configurations for the modem, but definitely needs some software settings to make it work with your carrier.

Thank you for the info. I am just using a T-mobile hotspot (TMOHS1) now and can only get 5Mbps (I know, super slow). It is fine for just watching youtube but am wanting to get a security wi-fi camera so want to get router to handle more speed. I speedtest my iphone 12 and could get over 100Mbps ...

I am on the T-mobile tablet plan and was thinking about getting the GL-AP1300-LTE as well. What type of speeds are you getting? Thanks. Depends on the modem. With an older Quectel-EC25-AF CAT4 you'll get around 20Mbps, with an EM06 CAT-6 around 50Mbps (average). With a more modern EM160 CAT-16 you ...

Okay. I'm still learning about the hardware. I keep having problems with my pings, until I've realise that the factory 4 antennas is garbage.... So, I've found two worthy antenna upgrades. I can keep it sleek and discrete or I can just simply upgrade from these crappy ones. So these are two of the ...

Probably there's a script somewhere which keeps changing the imei.
Look for any router startup or modem config scripts containing the command "AT+EGMR="
Delete it, and that should fix it.
Are you running GoldenOrb or OpenWRT firmware?

2024 Resurrection Update: I decided to tackle this issue again and this time I definitively figured it out. It was all related to signal quality. SINR to be exact. Whenever I get around 15-20 sinr, I can achieve speeds of 100+Mbps I unhooked my mimo external antenna and just hooked up the stock ...

Live in a rural area with Verizon LTE coverage. I have visible as my carrier (Verizon network). Any other suggestions or advice for my scenario and setting up an LTE router? Thanks! The problem with many "all-in-one" mobile routers is that you either get a good modem or router, but usually not both ...

The monthly data limit of 300 gigs cannot be bypassed, only the hotspot limit. However, the monthly limit can be reset at any time by making an early payment, should you go over it before the the end of the billing cycle. If you want to have an extra phone at no additional cost, just tether an ...

It's unlikely that the modem's firmware update caused the lights to go out, it may be just a coincidence.
On the other hand, the router's firmware update can cause some light not to function which can usually be fixed, but not by AT commands.
Try replacing the LED's first.

Sweet. Thank you. I have new a new verizon sim card coming and will give the above a try. I was wondering if part of my problem was due to the age of the sim card and the fact that the accounts it was previously attached to was long since expired. I figured it would be a good idea to start with a ...

I'm suffering the same issue here. Is changing the IMEI the only option to activate on Verizon? Verizon is quite finicky when it comes to activation due to their weird CDMA/GSM system. Most other GSM carriers like ATT and Tmobile activate fine in just about any device. As I mentioned earlier, it's ...

Glad it worked. What IP's did you set the computer and router to for flashing?
And the name of the file in the TFTP folder? So others can learn too.

If you had a connector soldered in and the 10 pin out of your interface matched it's a straight connection. Otherwise you need to tack on single wires to the pads. Usually a 10 pin JTAG connector is 2 x 5 in either 100 mil or 50 mil pitch. That's possible too. On the main board of phones there are ...

It doesn't seem to be a speed test site like the others.

Thanks Renate....I love the count. To that I reply....BRRRRRRING. Phone. Phone? Yup yup yup yup yup. But you forget what a newbie I am. So, if I try to perform a JTAG at some point, do I connect to those 10 solder joints, or the 8 copper pads? Usually JTAG uses contact pins for quick programming ...

Oops! Yes, thanks Bill, it is indeed 8 pins. While prying off the cans, I accidentally removed one of these brass tab things. Can anyone tell me what is its purpose by looking at the PCB photos? I'm used to soldering larger through-hole components. If I wanted to resolder it, how would I do so when ...

I'm only seeing 8 pins, the layout looks like a JTAG contact of some sort.

The firmware flashes the software part of the UI/Linux OS, possibly some parts of the modem, but nothing related to enabling disabled bands on the 6500 and other models with only select bands enabled. I have not attempted to enable any bands as my primary goal was to be able to unlock the device ...

This is an interesting concept, but I'd need a mobile proxy in the U.S. Proxies are faster than VPN's which double encrypt the data needlessly, once through the VPN server then over HTTPS, thus slowing it down and increasing latency.

Try this command: AT^PCIEMODE=0

If yes, then try the hardware mod.

There's not a huge speed difference, sometimes you gotta use what works.

I would pop the sim card into a phone to check if calls and internet are working properly. If it's working in a phone then it's the router, if it's flaky in a phone, then it's the service.

Legalities aside, theoretically it should be possible by hacking the firmware. However, it would not be a trivial mod due to the firmware signatures.

So, it's been an interesting journey, and I have to say I'm no more better off then I was before. And slightly more confused.
