Let's say I have a Nighthawk and a WE826. Is there anyway that I could use both of them into one router for redundancy? For instance use the NIghthawk as an internet source for the WE826 and if the Nighthawk service goes out then the WE826 service would kick in? Seems like I recall that the MoFi ...

This isn't making any sense. The other day when I was testing this I just turned if off and haven't touched it till just now again. I turned it on with the external antenna and today the signal is lower but the download speeds are higher. Can outside temps effect this antenna? The other day it warm ...

Yes, it was all the same. I literally was doing a speed test, unscrewing the external antenna and screwing it the 6 inch antennas and doing the speed test again and then reverse the process to confirm that it was an antenna issue.

Also. I was plugged directly into the router with ethernet

I was switching back and forth between the new antenna connectors and then putting on the 6 inch antennas.

What I don't understand is that it shows a much better signal it goes from -110 to around -90. But the downloads speeds drop from 20s or 30s to 1 to 3 mbs.

They are 50 ohm cables. I'm just pointingbthe antenna toward the different towers. I live a mile from 3 of them.

Ham radios are analog as well. It must be be because of the very high frequencies of LTE signals.

I'm a ham. These are good antenna cables.

I have a WE826-T2 with EM7565 and I recently purchase this MIMO antenna

and when I hook it up to my signal gets better but my download speeds go to about 1 or 2 mbs vs ~20 with the 6 inch antennas attached ...

Thanks Bill, does this only fix the wifi? I have the built in wifi turned off and just using it as a modem feeding my netgear router.

I'm running a WE826-T2 with EM7565 flashed with the latest WIFIX using bootloader mode. What is odd is I get around 40-50 down. I've noticed that after a few days it will slow down to ~20 and slower. After I do a reboot it's back to 40-50 down and the cycle begins again. Has anyone else seen this ...

Bill is this the modem firmware or the WIFIX WE826 Rooter firmware? Is there a way I can "flash" my way out of it?

Thanks

Yeah, I know I can flash over it but I kinda like this and was wondering if it was available to download open source. Thanks

Could you point me to a tutorial or instructions in case I want to try it? Thanks

Can someone tell me what firmware this is for a WE826?

Maybe I could try a VPN. Does anyone know how to configure a VPN so that all router traffic fill flow through it via the interface tab in WIFIX Goldenorb?

Yeah, that's when it gave the message, when I put it in a phone and tried to use the codes

I tried this and got a message that said this option was not available for my plan.

LOL... yeah I had that happen on my Google search page too, showing I'm in Mexico.

I just purchased some T-Mobile sims from Amazon and had one activated and using them with a WE826-T. I noticed some odd behavior. First when I do a search Google comes up first in Spanish! Also, when I went to YouTubeTV it thought that I was out of the country. Also, videos from Netflix and other ...

This is what I would recommend.

Download the new release of the WiFiX version of GoldenOrb.

Use the Firmware Recovery Method to update with the WiFiX firmware.

Once it has updated, log into the router, and use the Web UI to update the router a second time with the WiFiX firmware.


So I did ...

If I go to "Connection Monitoring" in the default profile it says Connection Monitoring Status Disabled.

Thanks again Jim. I made some edits to my last post and added some logging because my modem disappeared last night and I had to reboot it to bring it back. I was getting kicked off WiFi some too but I think I fixed it by disenabling "Dissassociate On Low Ack"

The speed difference may not have anything to do with the firmware update/reset, but after repowering the router it could have locked onto a different band/CA than before. You could try locking the band(s) to see if it helps. Also, the mobile network's performance can change dynamically throughout ...

I'm using the 12V 2.5A 30W Power Adapter I bought from The Wireless Haven. If you're talking about in the profile where it says connection monitoring it says disabled. Also, my freaking wifi will NOT stay up and keeps loosing wifi connection.

I just setup my WE826-T and EM7565 today and this is what my connection log looks like. Should I be seeing a connection message this often?

This is also happening to me. I have a brand new WE826-T2 with EM7565 that I built today and flashed it with the latest golden orb. Modem is working but WiFi keep dropping and I have only one computer on it (which is the laptop i'm using for setup). Could it be the latest golden orb? I'm using the ...

The bigger question is are you maxxing out possible signal strength and quality AND are you being held back by the carriers radios that are providing your service.



Thanks for your reply but I don't think I understand this statement. I understand the Nighthawk is technically fastest because of ...

I just posted a similar question and didn't see this one. I saw the same results with the MOFI that I thought would be a better modem than the NIghthawk M1. The top speed I saw was 20 down if I was lucky where the M1 gets up to 70. What could I expect with a cat 12 modem?

I have a Nighthawk and I've seen it's max get about 70 down. I tried the MOFI 4500 and the BEST it could do was 20 down. Does a WE826-T2 with EM7565 get as fast or faster than the Nighthawk or does it not get any faster than the MOFI?

Thanks
