Re: WG827 LED

Kind of late but this works for me with latest AB version:

Name: Modem Connected

LED Name: rbg.green

Trigger: Network device activity (kernel netdev)

Device: wwan0

Trigger: Check one, two or all. (whatever you want it will flash on data if transmit/receive checked)

Re: Did something change with Verizon or Mofi4500 recently?

Been lots of chatter lately about verizon and visible going to crap with various issues. It does seem something has changed. Only thing I can suggest is try some different TTL settings and see if helps stop the hotspot bleed, 65,64,67 etc.

Re: Putting MH4 pigtails on the Quectel EM20-G M.2 modem

They definitely take A LOT of patience. It sometimes takes me a good 15-20 minutes to get them on. Other times they go on very quickly. Kind of a luck of the draw getting them on but I do have a small magnifying glass which helps to at least get them lined up before applying pressure. Always afraid ...

Re: CBA850 with external router


But essentially whether you have the CP set to DHCP or IP Passthrough you should be able to plug it into the WAN port of your Asus and have it talk.


That's what I thought too but not so for me, Only thing I haven't done is a total reset on the 850 but not ready to go down that road right now ...

Re: CBA850 with external router

Well, I guess the only way is in access point mode unless someone knows a way to get the external router to work in normal DHCP mode with CBA850 DHCP disabled. Never could get passthrough to work. Followed 2 different guides.

So I have a mofi 4500 V2 router, 2 WirEng wide band antennas(dont worry i didnt pay for them), and using ULLM240 cable, 25ft. I will probably shorten.


Could be hurting yourself with the LM240, personally wouldn't use it for anything over 10 feet. I have a 25 ft run and using LMR400.
