I just built a 3526/RM502Q-AE with Rooter on TMO. It defaulted to 5G SA mode on n71. I couldn't ping from Win10PC and had weird connectivity issues like not being able to stream AppleTV+ content from multiple devices. I disabled SA mode and my problems disappeared. Speeds are also a lot faster in ...

Nice work, do you have a better picture of how your mast is attached to the roof?

I've been using 3.9.0 generic since January with good results.

Got the ladder out yesterday to do some troubleshooting. No water in the connections. Tried a new cable which did not make any difference. Swapped the primary with the secondary cable and the low signal followed the antenna. It looks like there must be something wrong with the antenna.

I have a pair of roof mounted DP727L15's that have been working great for over 6 months. After a recent wind storm and forest fires in the main antenna is showing signal strength of -113dBm and the diversity antenna is -101dBm. Before this they were usually only a couple of dB apart. The windstorm ...

I have those antennas and they work better than anything else I tried. I'm in a wooded area with no LOS to the tower.

Here's the splitter I'm using with a Mofi4500. It claims to be 2amp.

I'm also in a heavily wooded area and have found the flat panel antennas work the best.

That fixed it. Thanks!

Are there any Rooter experts here? I'm running Rooter on a RPi3 with EM7565 modem in an The Wireless Haven M.2 enclosure on AT&T. It's been working fine for months. Last night we had stormy weather with lightening and heavy rain. It looked like there were problems with the tower. The modem would not ...

I don't think it's a good choice for POE to a router/modem that has a high current draw. It's not outdoor rated and the wires are very thin at 30 AWG.

This is what I used, outdoor rated and 23 AWG solid copper conductor.

Can you install the modem in a weatherproof box and mount it close to the antennas?

Silvergt correct me if I’m wrong but the diff on a MC7455 and your EM7565 is yours supports gigabit. Is there any other performance you can get out of it. I’m pretty sure the network around here couldn’t reach 100mbps. But I’d be happy to get 20-30 more consistently.

The difference between ...

I started with a Mofi4500 and 50ft of LMR400. Had problems with random disconnects, terrible customer service. Upgraded to a Raspberry Pi3 and EM7565 POE with 10ft cables and it's faster and way more reliable. swwifty did a great write up on it.

I have the same antennas and my speeds are better with them pointing straight up and down vs turned 45 degrees.

Is this antenna still available? I don't see it on The Wireless Haven Store.

What was the problem with the one that didn’t work?

I have always had issues with my cellular connection being throttled on AT&T when streaming from Netflix and Amazon Prime. Both Netflix and AT&T deny they are doing any throttling. My download speeds are high enough to stream in 4k.

Netflix's fast.com speed test shows my download speed is being ...

I have a PoE powered RPi3 and EM7565 in a USB on enclosure on AT&T that works great.

Re: New GoldenOrb 2020-03-01 Firmware What new features does it have?

What new features does it have?

Is the RPi4 compatible with GoldenOrb? I didn't see it listed.

I bought these crimpers and strippers from Amazon. The crimpers worked well but I didn't like the strippers, too hard to adjust to the right depth.

What's the difference in performance between these. They look the same but the X15 is a dual mimo antenna. Is there an advantage to having 2 antennas in the same enclosure vs separate antennas that can be individually aimed?

I'm using a Channel Master J style wall mount that extends 7' above the top mounting bracket. There are 2 The Wireless Haven panel antennas mounted to it. How high does the mast have to be before guy wires are needed?

I agree with Bill that running Golden Orb on the Mofi is not liklely to help your speeds much. Is your cable length really 115ft? If so that is attenuating a lot of your signal, especially if you are using band 2 on AT&T at 1900mhz. According to their chart you are losing 7.5db which is nearly 80 ...

In order to use a 110v extension cord from my router it would need to go through an outside wall. through the crawlspace and through an inside wall. That would be an electrical code violation and not something I want to risk doing. It's possible to find an electrical circuit in the the crawlspace to ...

I haven't experienced any reboots or disconnects.

I'm using 35ft of cat6 23awg solid copper outdoor cable.

I don't have a 110v outlet anywhere close. It sounds like it would be a good idea to add a 2nd ...

I got my box mounted up high close to the antennas and it's working great. My speeds are usually 50-70mbps down and 15-20 up. No disconnects like I was getting with my Mofi4500.

It seems like I must be close to the limit on power using one POE for both the Rpi and M.2 7565. What are the symptoms ...

Yep, it's the The Wireless Haven USB 3.0 to M.2 enclosure.

https://thewirelesshaven.com/shop/pcie-m-2/m-2-ng ... card-slot/

My build is fully operational and ready to mount outside close to the antennas. Just wanted to say thanks for your contribution here, not sure I would have attempted this without seeing someone else be successful with it.

Reflashing the Rooter fixed it.

Thanks for your help!

I hooked everything back up on the bench which previously worked. Both the Rpi and 7565 have a 2.5amp power supply connected and not using POE. Same problem :mad: . Also tried restoring my previously backed up Rooter config which didn't fix it. It seems like some sort of communication problem ...

My build is an RPi running the latest Golden Orb with an EM7565 modem in an The Wireless Haven M.2 USB enclosure. I've been testing it on the bench for the last couple of days to make sure everything is functioning correctly.

After disconnecting it and installing the equipment into a waterproof box ...

Thanks, those are good points. The antennas, cabling, grounding are the same for both setups. Both the modem and RPi are on the latest firmware and it's configured for auto band select. I'm using the generic firmware for the 7565. Either the 7565 or RPi appears to be reporting invalid band info ...

I finished up building my Rpi3b+ with M.2 EM7565 and have it up and running. So far its working great. I noticed the secondary band it reports using is different compared to my Mofi4500/7455. The 7455 reported B2 for primary and B12 for secondary. The 7565 is reporting B2 and B11. I suspect the 7565 ...

I just noticed the latency in general was higher with the Rpi vs my Mofi4500. It could be something else though, time will tell...

Those errors seemed to be adding ~10ms of latency for me. I eliminated them by adding the following commands to the Local Startup. It sets the min/max scaling frequency to the maximum so the processor always runs at full speed. Note that I'm using an Rpi3B+ which runs at a max of 1.4GHz, yours may ...

Thanks for the response.
1. A 16 foot cable is not quite long enough to get me inside the house so rain would be an issue for the USB connector. What kind of power cable are you using for the modem?

2. This option would work for me. I wonder how reliable these extension boxes are and how much ...

Has anyone successfully done this? I’ve been thinking about using a long usb cable for the modem. I would prefer having the router inside and use a Wrt3200acm vs a RPi. Mine would need to be about 40’.

I got my EM7565 and RPi3+ up and running and noticed the system log on the Pi is filled with change cpu frequency errors. Is there a fix for this?

Definitely outside, I'm out in the woods and don't have a strong enough signal to put the antennas inside. I'm currently using a Mofi4500 on AT&T. There really wasn't anything to setup, the booster just plugs in-line between the antenna and modem. I have it installed on the primary antenna input.

I use a Wilson in-line booster and see my RSRP improve by about 10dBm. Not sure about mimo and you would need a booster for each antenna. I have seen carrier aggregation active on mine with only 1 antenna connected.

I doubt that .6dB will make much of a difference, an RSRP of -122 is pretty low. Have you experimented with different antennas and locations?

Another way to look at it is the power in/out or cable run efficiency %. In my case the the cable is gobbling up 49% of my signal. At 25' you're losing 28.5 ...

How much power does the Mofi draw? I looked at the spec sheet and user manual and couldn't find the specs for that. The only thing I saw was they recommended a 1 amp fuse for mobile applications.

Unfortunately my attic is not accessible near the area where I have my antennas mounted which is about 22 feet above the ground. I could put the the box 10-12 feet up on the side of the house to make it easier to access and still eliminate 35-40 feet of coax cable.

Do those lightening arrestors ...

No, I thought these n-connectors were designed to be waterproof so I didn't do anything but tighten them down.

Thanks for the info and video, looks like I have some work to do.

I'm considering redoing my whole setup which currently has 2 50 foot runs of Wilson 400 cable connected to a Mofi 4500 ...

Thanks, I wonder if Ubifi is just saying that because they don't want to support anything else.
PM sent.

I have 2 log periodic antennas with N-connectors mounted to a j-mount mast on my roof. It's been raining a lot and my upper antenna has suddenly decreased by about 30db. Is there any additional sealing required for n-connectors to be waterproof? The cables I'm using are the 50ft Wilson-400.

Hi Everyone,

My first post here. I have a Mofi 4500 with Ubifi's simply unlimited plan through AT&T. It works most of the time but will intermittently lose it's LTE connection. Would I get better reliability and performance from different equipment? I'm thinking about purchasing an EM7565 and an M ...
