Hello,

I'm experiencing some issues with the newer USB 3.0 M.2 Modem sleds from LTEFIX.

I've purchased 2 of these, and a coworker has also purchased one, and all 3 are experiencing the same issue.

Issue: While the modem is in the sled, it never connects to LTE

-I can take said modem out and use ...

That I've not seen myself, the settings reversion. Might be a NVRAM problem? I don't think the Sierras act like the Quectels when it comes to that, I've never heard of a command like the =1 that matches Sierras RMARESET command, though I've never queried it via AT!RMARESET=?

Careful with that ...

Possibly a long shot but have you tried switching out the Sim during your troubleshooting search?

Switching out the SIM? At the moment I only have one Calyx SIM card, as I only have one account I use to test with, or I use it on the road.

Make sure you have "Drop Invalid Packets" enabled ...

Could be a tower based issue. Can you test the setup in a different tower zone to see if the disconnects still happen?

I've considered the same thing, my only issue with that, is at home, if the local tower goes down for a bit, and then comes back up, I don't need to reset anything. The LTE ...

I have a few family and friends I've deployed LTE internet setups for, almost all of them are using Calyx.

I've been setting up these calyx devices for a bit, and have some questions I'm hoping someone can provide a bit of insight on.

For older Calyx plans, with the sprint branded sim cards, do ...

Wanted to follow up on this. Was able to cure the "CA" issue with visible and this EM12G.

When using the generic MBN Profile"
"ROW_Generic_3GPP_PTCRB_GCF"

Visible would connect, but only on one band.

Was unable to replicate this on a MC7455 inside the same setup, did 4+13 with no issue.

What I ...

After you ran the deactivate command, did you reset the modem via at+cfun=1,1 ?

Its possible the EM12 has issues with the MBN profile commands, it never really works right on the EM12. Which firmware are you using again? Not sure if you said.

The firmware is generic overall, that "ROW ...

@hw1353 I have a EM12G and Visible. Haven't been able to get it working. Can you maybe post what you did to make it work? I've been messing with this for 3 days and could use some direction. Thanks for any help

Is your EM12G doing the same thing? Mine would go through all of the normal startup ...

Thanks for the reply Didney.

This was my output of AT+CGACT
+CGACT: 1,0
+CGACT: 3,0

I was unable to set either one of these to active with
AT+CGACT=1,1
Would return ERROR.

This did however, lead me down a rabbit hole, reviewing AT command manuals and my previous post and the comments from ...

Wanted to add to original post:

SIM works fine in an iphone 6s on visible.
SIM works fine with a MC7455 and MC7354
SIM works fine with a EM06 (provided I follow my instructions above)

The EM12G will connect near immediately with a T-mobile simcard added, regardless of APN, even if I don't change ...

Hello,

I posted previously about a very similar issue with my EM06 not connecting to visible or verizon following a power outage.

https://wirelessjoint.com/viewtopic.php?t=1289

I discovered that if I remove all of the entries from AT+CGDCONT, other than the "AT+CGDCONT=1" entry with the visible ...

Has anyone/ Does anyone have a goldenorb/rooter build for the raspberry pi 4?
(Better question, is there even any support for Pi4 and OpenWRT?)

I'm getting ready to try and build my own verison of rooter for the Pi4. The version off their website works great on my Pi3b.

I'm looking to build a POE ...

Did I kill it? Any follow up?

Sorry for late reply.

Life gets in the way sometimes you forget.

I still had issues with both of these modems even after trying your command. Kinda shevled the quectel modem projects and replaced them with Sierra cards. As one was my main connection at home where ...

I might have something for you.

But just to concentrate on one thing. Please give a clear explanation of exactly what happens when you boot up after a fresh flash AND what is it that makes it stop working?

Im collecting that it seems to NOT be saving your parameter changes after a reboot ...

I guess my next thought is modifying the connect script to modify the CGDCONT=3 value instead of 1?

-------------------

When I'm seeing the issue of not connecting on the WE826,

issuing a :
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IPV4V6","ims";+CFUN=0;+CFUN=1

Via the AT-Terminal in WiFiX will cause the modem to ...

Still unable to get the EM06-a to work in a WE826 or a WE1326.

If I factory reset, put the EM06 in a usb enclosure, connect to windows, set QMI mode, set it up via Huwaei terminal, the modem connects no problem on verizon. I can disconnect and reconnect the USB at will, still reconnects.

I'm ...

On the initial startup (which you define as a good start up) we see the default APN of "ims" set in profile slot 1.

+CGDCONT: 1,"IPV4V6","ims","0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0",0,0,0,0

Then, GoldenOrb sends the APN from the Modem Profile to profile slot 1 and updates "ism" to "vzwinternet ...

Jim,

It seems these scripts have changed a good bit since this was written. Is it possible to get a MC7354 to work with the latest version of WiFiX? This is a modem out of a cradlelink.

Or should I flash to the previous version of Golden Orb listed in this guide to get a MC7354 to work with a ...

Idk, I'm to the point I'm going to throw them on eBay for a cheap price and let them go. Neither modem lasted a month.

I purchased 2 of these, one for myself and one for a LTE rig I setup for a family member.

Given one may have been my fault, I wasn't using a UPS and a brown-out likely caused the ...

Connect it(MC7354) to the CBA750B with the correct firmware programmed, either ATT SIM or Verizon SIM works great. So I'm sure CP has these modems locked to their hardware.

I've flashed the EM06 modems. I've even tried flashing it back-to-back, I don't think quectel has a firmware management ...

The only real service around is Verizon service. Closest ATT tower is 7 miles away.

I have a 5 band cell booster inside my house I test these devices with before I try them outside. All of my other verizon hotspots work over the booster and connect fine. Theres 2-3 bars of verizon service outside ...

I've been trying so many different things, where to begin.

First off, 2 of these EM06 modems I have no longer work. The most recent one was after I did a hard reboot. No power failure/brown out associated with it. So this is now 2 EM06 Quectel modems that are not working. Same firmware, same issue ...

This probably should have been in the questions and support section.

Just email Quectel for the latest firmware update package for the EM06.
Send and email to both of these addresses:
Info@Quectel.com
Support@Quectel.com

For those who have the EP06-A model, here's the latest firmware package including the flashing app for those who need it. It's easy to use, just ...

It's an undocumented command, and not unusual for manufactures to omit certain ones, even if it's "dangerous" there are ways to fix it. If you would like to make sure that the modem only connects to an LTE signal and never roams accidentally on anther carrier due to low signal (they can suspend ...

Of course, I've added my other settings back as well. All seems to be working fine.

A power outage may have corrupted the modem's NVM (Non-Volatile-Memory).
I would reset it and try both QMI and MBIM modes.

QMI mode
Copyy and paste each command one at a time, and make sure you get an "OK" response after each command:
AT+QPRTPARA=3

Wait a minute, restart the router, then copy ...

I had a power outage this weekend, when the power came back, my EM06-a would not connect to verizon.

I found another thread with someone seeing the same error as I am in the Debug logs:
http://wirelessjoint.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=1061&start=10

I've reset the APN, and the configuration on the ...

I'm guessing the profile is being used over the whats actually being displayed in under General > About.

iOS/apple has a weird way of going about/displaying/configuring things.

**Could** Others are

Just curious.

Theres lots of ATT 3rd party resellers as well, some are fairly inexpensive compared to verizon options, which is the only immediate tower in my vicinity. Verizon has cut off so many 3rd party resellers, and the ones that are still active are looking for ...

Does that mean you could get ATT post paid and it would work?

I get decent speeds pointed to the east, but I have horrible upload.

UL .2-.4, DL 17-20 , Honestly bounces up and down. Not consistent. Guess the wilson directionals are better for me, I'm not sure what to think. Tried single/multiple bands.

Whats odd is I'm trying to hit a tower thats closer, but ...

Bill,

I installed the profile and restarted the ipad, I can see the profile under General > Profiles, once its installed.

However, the APN still says verizon under General > About. I feel like there used to be a way to manually program these in, seems that was removed some iOS revs ago? I can put ...

I have some 15 dbi panels, and I have to say, it wasn't the upgrade I thought it would be. I'm going to keep trying them, but I was hoping they would work better in a more wooded area like my brother's house. I tried Horiz/Vert and 'X' polarized in cross pattern. We put a set up for him, and ...

Working now.

Even after having the profile installed it wouldn't work. Kept asking me to login to verizon. I flipped on the hotspot mode on the ipad, and data started working. Flipped it off, I still have LTE data. Seems to have worked through a restart. I'm not sure if it was a timing thing, or if ...

Would like to add, the ipad is unlocked. I can put in a T-mobile Sim, and the APN is downloaded automatically, and the LTE works within a minute or two. Its just pageplus.

Will page plus work on an ipad?

I was able to get a phone to activate and download the APN with the sim card installed.

When I try and put the SIM in an ipad, it changes the APN to Verizon/vzwinternet, and not the tracfone.vzwentp APN.

I've tried browsing to the APN site over wifi on the iPad, no ...

After looking into the cell tower coverage I should be able to do t-mobile. They've got a tower about 1.5 miles out my back yard. Funny though when a friend came over with a t-mobile phone the coverage was terrible but I'd think it's worth a shot with an antenna.
Can you point me to a place on how ...

Bill,
Sorry to steal the thread but I am a newb and I'm also interested in using Verizon. I get the best speeds at my home with them (KISS). I currently have DSL with 10Mbps but my phone gets 30+Mbps. Hence the reason I want to make the jump. Can you give me a newb list of items required and a ...

Hello hw1353,
I put the sim directly into the router with the MC7455 and it activated immediately. Then used the messenger in the router to activate my account online and talk to them on the phone when I had issues. Customer service was the biggest issues. Took like 24 hours for the add on I ...

Thanks for that. 60GB may be an issue for me.

gscheb, been reading some of your posts about t-mobile..

While T-mobile isn't my first choice, as its further away than the verizon towers, I have ordered a T-mobile sim to see if I can connect to these towers, and what my speeds look like. If so I'm ...

Postpay TMobile has a options to have HD streaming included.

Got to love finding stuff after you make a post about it.

PagePlus: Does work, requires alternate APN and TTL values. Seems like it must be activated in a cell phone first. I have a moto g7 unlocked that would work with these SIMs.

Verizon: Seems to flag users that use mofi-4500 setups? This is ...

Current reseller I was getting verizon service through has moved to a new business model requiring use of specific hardware to use their service. Since that will not work for my setup, I'm exploring options.

Verizon is the only option in my area. My brother lives close by and has a different ...

In my experience, the distance from the tower is less of an issue than having no abstraction in between. For example, you could get a better signal (quality) in a line of sight from a tower 5 miles away, then from a tower 2 miles away with hills, trees, or buildings in between. Another variable is ...

Well I don't have anything going on to that magnitude.

I'm seeing about the same performance a verizon cell phone sees on my porch/under the roof of the house. I feel like it could be better with the right antenna setup.

I have a 40"~ pole mounted to the eve of my house, something you'd use to ...

I guess I'm just seeing the benefit of an extremely short antenna cable run.

Just found the post I believe you're talking about.

Guess I wasn't searching the right things.

I guess I'm just not understanding why it would prefer B4 over B13 if B13 has higher signal strength.

Is it possible to force it to keep B13 as the primary band? Is that what bandlocking does? Can I set it to have B13 primary but still aggregate with B4 while downloading?

I'm following you on the CA and the band changing. I tested this, and I do see the CA show up while streaming or running a speed test.

I want to say that I've seen B13 with very similar signal quality that wasn't represented well in this dataset. I'll keep an eye on it and repost screen shots in a ...

Not really, I've seen it degrade while the wife is streaming 1080p netflix and while I'm browsing the web on the PC. Since I set this up I keep the wifix page up most times while using the computer to monitor things and make sure it stays stable before I cancel my DSL service.

If it were going into ...

I recently built a LTE modem with WE826 and MC7455.

I got my verizon service activated, setup some antennas, and the LTE Router/Modem combo works great, for about 6-8 hours.

Around 8 hours, my signal will drop from 80% to about 40%, and stay there. Clear Sunny Day/ Clear nights, same result.
