Re: MOFI5500-5GXeLTE-EM7411-DUAL Latest firmware deleted my 2nd modem

It may be worth removing the modems and placing each in a USB sled and use a PC to check each to make sure they are working. At that time you may want to update the modem firmware to the latest and configure the modem composition that MoFi uses (i.e., QMI, MBIM).

IMEI is only half the equation. You will also need to change the TTL value.

From my experience and unless something has changed, Verizon requires to a TTL of 65 or 117.

Not familiar with the process of changing the TTL on the MR5200--but I feel certain another member can share directions.

Adjust the ttl-set # to your desired TTL

#startTTL
iptables -t mangle -I POSTROUTING -o wwan0 -j TTL --ttl-set 65 ...
