I have been using this router with a phone SIM for over a year as our rural home internet. My carrier figured out that my SIM was not installed in a "Approved Device" (phone) and killed service. I had a backup SIM to keep me going for now.

My phone has Ethernet tethering as a hot spot option. I ...

I'm looking for external antenna recommendations for the modem side of my Cradlepoint Router/Modem. It has 2 SMA ports.

I'm looking for recommendations on external (outside) antennas for my MBR1400LPE V2 - MC200LP-AT Router/Modem. It has 2 antenna SMA ports.

Looking for external antenna recommendations for my Cradlepoint MC400LP6-ARC modem.

I got mine working with a visible SIM tonight.

Has anyone had success with a visible SIM yet?

I have an unused ASUS router.
So I shut down the wifi in the WE826 and connect the routers together via Ethernet cable in the lan ports? Anything else needed?

So what do you use in front of the regular house router?

Need Router Recommendation for my Smart Home.

I'm on my second WE 826-GO in a year and it is mucking up. I've got the Sierra EM7565 Modem and a Visible SIM.
My house was dumb when I got this last router in early 2020. I noticed that it is now "NOT" recommended to use the WE 826-GO for providing ...

I've been having to reboot my router frequently because I will come home and no internet.
Not sure if it is the Visible Sim or the router or the modem. I can connect to my visible phone via hotspot. Sometime if I turn the VPN off it works and other times that doesn't work. Sometimes it just starts ...

It started with me changing the SSID and password and has morphed into a router that does not respond at all. No WiFi, No Ethernet and if I power off and re-power with the reset button held I get a fast flashing WiFi light that stops after a while and it ends with the red power light and blue USB ...

Yes I did with Torguard.

How do you flash a router that you can not access. It does not show up via WiFi or Ethernet. Tried the reset of holding the reset button then applying power. I get a red light and a flashing WiFi light. After I release the reset button there is a delay then the USB light comes on. and the WiFi light ...

Router has gone from bad to worst. Now it won't work with the ethernet cable. It won't even show up as an available wifi or ethernet connection. Tried rebooting, resetting and different ethernet cable. The red power light is on, blue USB light (Nothing plugged into usb), blue #1 lan light.

So I changed the default SSID and password today. Now nothing shows up in available wifi. Saved settings and they show up as changed when I am connected via ethernet. Tried reboot and disconnecting power..

Trying to set up my PLEX server and it needs UPnP or NAT-PMP. Where do I look to enable UPnP or NAT-PMP?

I tried without success getting Torguard VPN to work on the WE826, even with help from their tech support.
I decided to try with one of the per-configured VPN's. I signed up with Mullvad. I'm still not able to get it to work. Has anybody been successful in getting a VPN to work with this router?

I get true unlimited data from Visible. Verizon cant touch that for $25 per month (per phone) on visible with 4 phones. My quality VPN is only $30 per year with my discount. Been using the VPN with my hotspot phone with no issues.

Visible only allows one device connected at a time. I'm willing to suffer from a bit slower connection to protect my activity from prying eyes. I want it on the router so it has me covered at the access point.

1. Haven't played with the TTL yet.
2. My understanding is that using the VPN will block everyone from seeing what I'm doing.
3. I have the VPN running on my desktop currently. I have tested with the VPN and without and haven't seen much difference.

Okay-- everything was taken back to original.
I installed a new wifi card today and a new sim from another visible phone.
I'm getting the following

I don't do windows.

I will play with the TTL later to see if that speeds things up.

Discovered a new problem , which I'm not sure if it is with the router or the modem. I have the router connected to my desktop via Ethernet and it works fine.

If I switch to Wifi when I try to go to a web page that is not cached it ...

Isn't there a way to use the regular Data vs capped Hotspot Data?

Phone is on band 2 right now.
I purchased this modem because it had band 66 and when I checked my phone to see what band it was using prior to ordering the modem it was on band 66.
Here is current modem

Jim,
This is what I'm getting now. What I'm experiencing, besides the slower than phone speed, it that when connected to internet via wifi things are running significantly slower than with the Ethernet connection.

I ended up going into Modem/Miscellaneous/AT-Command Terminal to complete the fix.

I did it again grrrr.
Trying to see if changing the QMI / MBIM would increase my latency as sugested. I feel like a knuckle dragger right now.

I'm trying to get back to MBIM and this time it's not working.

I returned here https://wirelessjoint.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=221&start=20#p2072 ...

Torguard VPN has a list of OpenVPN Config Files and Scripts that you can download for routers herehttps://torguard.net/downloads.php
I'm not sure which one I need and the method of adding it to the router.

That's pretty much normal from all the reports I've seen so far (the highest was 25Mbps down, but it will vary). Unfortunately the high latency makes it unusable for gaming, and nothing can be done about it since it goes though both Visible's then Verizon's servers.

Those numbers were not from ...

I ran the commands again with a slight change

Do I connect to the router via ethernet or wireless?

One note on programming the EM7565. The Huawei Terminal seems to have a conflict with issuing some commands to the EM7565. I recommend you use the Huawei Terminal to locate the COM Port number assigned to WWAN Modem , then use PuTTY in Serial mode to program the modem.

I'm running Linux Mint and ...

I'm a novice that is getting really frustrated . I'm not sure who or what I should be listening to at this point. I'm getting conflicting advice between the articles posted and the advice I have been given here. All I wanted was a router that I could pop my sim card into. Now I have this expensive ...

Where do I find Jim's guide to fix my mode issue?

So when I get the mode issue fixed is this the corrected list of commands?

I've had Visible for 3 months now and have one phone tethered to my desktop and have downloaded nearly a terabyte of data so far. We use our daily phones to hotspot to our TV's and watch TV with no issues, Netflix & Prime. ect.

Where do I find "Modem" on the computer?
Keep in mind I'm running Linux Mint.

Go to MODEM > MISCELLANEOUS > AT-COMMAND TERMINAL to send AT commands.

Where do I find "MODEM > MISCELLANEOUS > AT-COMMAND TERMINAL" ?

To learn a little about AT commands can look at this post here.

It recommends using Huawei Terminal to locate the COM Port and using Putty to send the AT Commands for the EM7565 Modem. I found Putty for Linux but not Huawei Modem Terminal.

Been using Visible with a tethered connection from my android phone for 3 months and nearly a terabyte of downloads. It has been working good. I just ordered the above mentioned router and modem.

I'm hating life without a router. I'm hoping to change that with the soon arriving equipment.

Sending the Router back. Piece of Amazon Junk.

My WE826 wireless router is arriving tomorrow and I was hoping to get some help setting it up with my Visible SIM.
